Glad you re enjoying it :) Did you find it a lesser combo with the 800S?
The S is okay but the 800 is great. I just like the original better. Everything sounds beautiful with the original. The S just sounds a little blah and veiled in comparison. I sit up and take notice when I listen to the 800.

I just want warmer tubes. I ordered the preferred series 12ax7 from the tube store. The guy I spoke with says that's their warmest tube.

Hey guys, what is a good headphone for bass. I like the 800 of course but I'm craving more bass.
You will likely want to go to a closed HP to satisfy a desire for more bass.
From experience i can recommend the Audeze LCD-XC
From reading the forums the Denon AH-D9200 is getting lots of love, and of course there is always Sennheisers own HD 820

That's easy: Turn the bass up! (See previous post.) I'm being serious: The HD 800 offers excellent bass, just needs some boost below ~100 Hz. No need for a different headphone if it's the only issue you have with it.

Yup, only issue. All is Perfect now. Wow the 800 and S have serious low end now!
