That is a lot of money I know. However, you know how it is when you want something - you go get it at all cost (well almost at all cost). I looked around trying to find someone who would do it - no takers. My guy that hardwired all my other headphones would not touch it. So when I found out about SAA I was like "game on" Then the price gave me pause.
I thought about it for about 3 weeks. It eat at me so much I just gave in and got it done. James tried to get me to get the Ultra mod as well, but after hearing the Anax mod I decided not to. Not saying both mods would sound the same. Hell - I just wanted the hardwire, I said if I feel the need to have the Ultra Mod done I'll send them in. Well - I don't feel the need.
The cable it self is what cost. To bad you can't have him hardwire your own cable. If he did I would have sent him a Norse Cable - much cheaper. I had to go with what he offered.
Thanks for your thought process. Have you had a chance to compare your hardwired endorphin HD800s to other non-hardwired upgraded cables from Norse or Headphone Lounge (which I typically pick) in terms of sound? Aside from the hardwire benefits, does the endorphin cable actually sound anywhere near it's value? I've seen HD800 cables go anywhere from $200 to $400, but $749 with extra $50 per foot just sounded insane. Thanks for the advice.
