Wish I could but best sounding recordings that I have are LPs and I don't know how to post the digital file, also is it legal to do.

I understood the request to be "Please share the names of the better recordings," not "Please share the music itself."

Correct,  would appreciate the names of the recordings

Sorry, my bad, lost in translation for me, too much wine when I first read it.
 
Best album IMO is "Facing Future"
 
Next would be "N Dis Life"

Just a simple question, would it be redundant if I grab an HD800 as a companion to my LCD-X and Ether? Also, has anyone tried the HD 800 with the Mjolnir / Gungnir MB?

I have the HD800 with Mjolnir 2 /Gungnir MB and to me its heavenly.
 
I previously owned a LCD-X and it was very good but for my personal taste the HD800 is more enjoyable.

I have tried EQ on HD800, wow blow me away. Mr.katz's EQing killed HD800s thinness COMPLETELY and make HD800 very very musical.
Ofcouse you need good DAC/amp and modification too.

With good and synergistic amp & dac no EQ or modifications are required IMO

Hi fellow HD800 owners,
 
I absolutely love my newly acquired #08xxx HD800's! I managed to sell my HE560's w/Jergmod v1.5 for $850 and then buy a pair of HD800's for only $775incl.shipping!!! both on CAM, both in the same night! My HD800's have some of the usual paint chips on the edges, but hey, they're probably 5 years old now
 
The 560's price recently skyrocketed to $1220cad up here (was $970cad). HD800's range from $1500-$1900cad!, because we're completely ridiculous up here lol. It was only recently they even dropped from their debut price of $1600cad to $1500cad at select stores. Our dollar's crap lol
 
Where else can you trade your 560's up to 800's and pocket nearly enough cash for a pair of new pads to go along with 'em? O' Canada, that's where lol.
 
Over the years I've been lucky enough to have had month long auditions with 2 different pairs of HD800's in my rigs. Once when I first started in the hobby with a pair of LCD-2.2's and LCD-X's driven by a BHA-1, and more recently, living with a pair for a month along side my 560's driven by a Gustard H10 and Matrix HPA-3B (ran fully balanced).
 
First go around I chose the LCD-X's, but that was with the neutral Bryston so go figure. A year later, during another home audition, I chose to keep a pair of 560's over my X's through my H10. I was happy enough with the 560/H10 combo until I got another pair of 800's in my home for a test drive and the HPA-3B to go along with them. While the 800's are clearly the more capable headphone when driven from the H10, it's when you go fully balanced with the HPA-3B that the performance gap drastically widens, as well as the soundstage, big time! Gustard sounded 2D in comparison to the Matrix. I now really regret not being able to hear the 800's through the BHA-1's balanced output back when I had it. I'm sure if I did I wouldn't have a) sold the BHA-1 or b) owned the X's, 560's and amps, so I'm kinda glad I took the long way round to the 800's...they mean more to me now than they would've when I started out.
 
On to give my pair a little Anax love this weekend but I currently have no problems with them being overly bright, so I'll just experiment a little...maybe no Anax at all. I'm thinking listening to vinyl helps keep their analytical side in check because they sound just sublime so far.

Oh no, I wouldn't want my 800s sounding like 650s. I'm not sure what it is but I've never been a big fan of either the 600 or the 650 and much prefer the 700 to either of these. I am sure that would be considered heresy but that's just my thoughts and I'm not saying that I'm right and others are wrong.
 
Moreover I can't be bothered with this EQ business or adding bits of felt and whatever.I know its a hobby and you are entitled to do what you want with your headphones, just as I am entitled to enjoy my headphones as they are.
