Listening to the HD800 on the Schiit Vali. I'm listening to some old favorites, I never heard that crackling in the recording before, I thought it was static electricity at first and I was checking to see if my clothing was staticy, but no LOL. That's kind of amazing.

Hi, I am glad that you like it. Now you got the Vali instead of the Magni 3?

I had the Vali. I have a Vali and Magni 2. The Magni 3 will take 3 weeks to get to me on back order. I can see what people mean by these headphones are bright. The Vali does handle it better, but I think if I had the Schiit Loki then I could handle it with the Magni 2. It gets plenty loud as well on these amps.

Yeah, these headphones have ASMR type imaging, it's amazing.

Listening to new people experience hd800 is one of the greatest joys in headphonia.

This album in flac on the HD800

(The youtube video is obviously not in flac, but this is just an example of what I'm listening to).

glorious. i recommend Wagner and Brahms's large orchestral things — O Heilige Götter from the Solti Ring, for instance, or the opening of the D minor concerto. HD800 is probably the best way to hear them. K1000 is interesting, and I expect my sphere will be a game changer, but as yet, they're my gold standard.

Jazz at the Pawnshop is the best I've found in my first month or so...

I'll probably be able to afford the Sennheiser HDVA 600 by the end of next week if all goes according to plan. I hope that they're still available for that price on Amazon by next Friday or Saturday.

I’m confused. I thought you didn’t think it was worth it to get anything other then a $80 amp for the HD800?

Got Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin. Have cut the dust cover and use Sennheiser dust cover! For my old ears the sound have no changed! But more comfort and it Looks "sexy"! And, maybe I´m crazy, I hear most of the music is in my brain!

Yes, I agree. The Dekoni earpads look great on the HD800 and HD800S.

And BTW, you are not crazy. That is the artifact of headphone sound. The center image appears to come out of your forehead, or your brain if you prefer.

If you have binaural recording or DSP manipulation of the sound, then you can have it image closer to what you would hear from a pair of speakers.

I like the sound coming from my brain: it is more intimate than live music or speakers.

What an exciting evening!

I spent about two hours listening to my HD800S and two new amps: the Eddie Current Aficionado and the Apex Pinnacle. Wow!
