500+ Head-Fier
Going to try out the amp for a month, see if it's worth purchasing compared to the Violectric V200. (Probably going to use my V800 as DAC)
[size=medium]Funny think but I was unable to find the power cord myself and I open two different HDVD 800 boxes and I head to borrow it from my speaker rig. [/size]
[size=medium]I was under the impression that Sen. did not include one.[/size]
[size=medium]I think I read this at page 23-24 on this thread and so I assumed that the reason was to keep the cost low since they thought that we are going to buy an aftermarket power cord anyway.[/size]
This alone was reason enough for me to not purchase the HDVD800, the bastards...

Doesn't make the statement false.
We headfiers can be very picky and churlish at times.
I mean, what other company doesn't supply power cables with their equipment?
I listened to the hdvd and hd 800 for a while (analog, jazz cd). I wassen't as impressed as I hoped or expected. When I asked how long the set had been used, he said "for about 3 hours". So I hope burnin will make it sound better.
My conclusion after listening for about 30 min (too short, I know):
+ Very detailed
+ Everything (instruments and voices) sounded very seperated
+ Extremely neutral
- I think the separation made it sound unrealistic and mechanical (I didn't enjoy listening to it at all)
- Mostly because of the last (-) it was not sounding natural (as if everything was recorded seperatly)
It wasn't tyiring to listen to it, but it wasn't enjoyable eather. I asked the person that helped me to contact me when the set was burned in.
So I was wondering what sicnificant differences I can expect from the set? Does it become more natural, and more enjoyable?
Because now I wouldn't even pay 1000E (euro's).
Thanks in advance for any responses/answers.
I don't believe you
