Gave mine a coat too. Nice!
So how does the VI+ do with the HD800s and with what tubes?
Stackable chairs! Crazy looking!That cable makes me jealous--very stylish. What are your LCDs on top of in the first shot?
I know, I'm baffled by it. I can't impress enough that I'm not exaggerating the issue either. It's enough to make you physically cringe, as though the drivers were blown. Switch to any other kind of music and it sounds fine. I played some bass heavy material with very aggressive transients to test and even at ear splitting volumes it sounds crystal clear. Switch to a piano solo recording and the mid/high notes are nails on a chalkboard even at moderate volumes. I find it incredibly hard to believe that every single piano recording I like has this resonance inside the recording itself either.
For the record most of these recordings sounded great on my late K701s. If you pushed them hard they would blare a little but that was normal given their capabilities in general.
