We get it.
You have a 'problem' with SAA.
What you call "throw money away" and "sloppy unprofessional job" and "Leaving the driver improperly secured" etc. etc., just tell me, again, you don't get it.
Case in point is, these changes are PART of the mod, along with several others.
We get it, you will never like this path to improving the 800's, period.
My advice is let it go.
Unless you enjoy being angry.
I for one would rather pay attention to what brings me enjoyment…
Speaking for myself and perhaps others of us who have '"thrown our money away" for a "sloppy unprofessional job", ""Leaving the driver improperly secured" etc. etc., I/we are quite happy with the results, thank you very much.
And I don't believe, for even 1 second, that the results were not worth every penny.
If you can achieve satisfactory results via other methods so much the better for you.
But your insults and tedious jabbing at those who DO like these results is becoming tiresome.
Again,
Let It Go.
Or not.
Your choice.
I for one will just turn up the volume just a bit and get sucked into the music, which is simply sublime.
Peace, Out…

Hello Johnjen I just came back to read this post,
And so I gave it some thought. .
And I must agree with you (!), not to hold anger.
This is a hobby we must all enjoy.
We all have lives and seek our hobby for enjoyment.
So my apologies for coming off rude.
I was sincere in my worries because the two screws are on the same side, and the least thing should have been on opposite sides..
But was not my intention to cause harm or insult as I do realize the mod is adressing to fix issues.
Also,
From my observations,
The SAA endorphin cable is tuned to give the HD800 a sweet character, so it doesn't matter how it was achieved, as it does impart a sweetness compared to other cables.
I was wrong to base it on wirr size.
Experience changes opinions.
The only fault I "could" say about the cable is a less noticable bass extension, but this was most likely intentional,
As my friend's hd800 is very clear beautiful sound with this cable.
So basically it's human nature to fall into misunderstandings,
And I mean no disrespect to owners of SAA mods.
Hope that clears things as this was old stuff but just wanted to clear the air.
