when you get better source and upgrade the HD800 cable, you will be having much better sound. I will try to arange the lower serie HD800 for comparisson.

It's just that my older pair (around 3000 SERIAL #) was brighter and had less bass, at least that is how I remember it, so I wanted to see if the graph reflects that. I am a little bummed because I like bright sound ):
but the sound is more balanced now so it's not all negative.

Thanks!!!
I really appreciate it
And yes you are right I have to upgrade to know for sure, and I got only a couple of hours on them so break in is a must.

A possible head-fi first!?! Can't recall having ever seen a post indicating that hd800's weren't bright enough for any listener's preferences. Nothing wrong with that at all, just helps illustrate the wide range of disparate perceptions and impressions we all have. I'll be interested to read your impressions over time and as you try other associated gear.

Imo the best solution for all headphones. Touches the headphones the least while allowing (velour-type) earpads to dry while looking beautiful. 

 
Bah. My Sennheiser HH10 Headphone Stand has worked best for me. My rig is messy, but I don't care what it looks like, as I'm not listening to looks. 
Doesn't seem to break down or slip. You can put it up high or low so long as you have an edge for it to lock down to.

+1 That's what i use. The only point of contact is the headband which is a plus, and it doesn't take up valuable desktop real estate. I think it looks fine.

I have 3 of the things...

Does Senn. still make this thing; I think I had one of them 30yrs ago.
 
Is it still relatively "dirt cheap" ?

I received the stand and t-shirt from Sennheiser Asia after I registered my HD800.

What t-shirt? Pics please!

I thought it was some Sennheiser-related t-shirt (or am I missing some sort of joke?).

Unfortunately those Sennheiser stands aren't sold anymore. It even looks like there is some kind of soft bolstering on it.

You've got to get used to @wink's post. When he is serious, I get bored.

Bummer. I paid less than 15 euro for mine. It has some kind of padding: the ridges on either side.
