The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

Chart of my new HD800 I bought a couple of weeks ago in London at Harrods. Auditioned it paired up with the HDVD800. They also had some high end stax headphones, but my love for the hd800 is much stronger :wink:

Nice! Also like the violectric stack you have there. My hd800 and HD 580 both sound very good on them. What are your impressions of the hd800 on the v200+v800?


Truthfully I haven't spend a ton of time listening to the V200. I think technically it's excellent and I really enjoy the sound signature. I do find the staging a bit weird, but that may be because I've been so entrenched in the OTL sound for so long.

I love the OTL sound.

In fact, long term, im looking at Allnic hpa-5000 as possible tube endgame

Got my graph as a PDF in an email today.
It definitely has the 6KHz to 7KHz peak. The Anax mod tames it really well.

Cheers man.


About three months, but was travelling for half of that. My favourite tube is the one it came with - because when I take it out the amp stops working ... I haven't switch from the stock tube yet (I know, I know :ph34r:) - I just haven't gotten around to sourcing a few tubes to try - I hate that part.

Sophia Electric right?

would you consider any of the Manley labs amps? Maybe the neo classic?
