Brought my rig to a store today to hear the HD800. Was using WA2 with 5998 tubes. It sounded amazing. I think I prefer it to my T1's. I will definitely be buying it soon. Also, I was really impressed with how it looked, photographs do not do it justice. 

Yes!! And wait till u get GEC 6AS7G and amperex 6dj8 bugle boys!!!!! (With RFT EZ80)

I was gob smacked. For some reason I had it in my head that it would sound lean and thin. Man I was wrong about that. The sound was HUGE! Even for electronic music it was great. The HD800 is louder than the T1 also.

They both can get loud, the hd 800 is just much more expansive.

The wa2's warmth is what makes the hd 800 so full sounding

Well, any cable other than stock I guess... For instance, DHC, HPL, Q, Moon, Whiplash...

What is a proper cable for the HD800?

 
Hopefully... HD800 was an acquired taste for me.

I love this guy for looking at it from such a positive standpoint.
 
I'll grab a cable from Artemis or HPL.

Whyv do you mean the silver over copper is the problem or what would be the gain with these other cables? What is wrong with the HD800 that is improved with another cable?

The stock cable is composed of a very small gauge spc wire. Stock cable to me sounded bad, thin, no weight, etc. Using aftermarket brought the weight back and made things sound effortless. Of course this is all a very small improvement. No cable makes a night and day difference.

Might have been a cheap amp or a cheap dac?

At the time I used Mjol/Gung and XSabre/Stratus.

Hah! that explains everything. 

 
Get yourself one of those ipob's or whatever you call em, and plug that puppy into your amp. It's the way forward!

There's probably a reason why Sennheiser only honors the warranty with Colorware and no other customization place. I would wonder about the long term durability of that pair modded by someone else.
