the GEC 6AS7G made the WA2 sound like a much more expensive amp, i think out of all the other tubes, its the ones i noticed the most improvement with.

  I think Beats by Dre with diamonds sounds better than SR-009 and every other headphone because it is so expensive. :))

 
umm ok you do that

Gotta give em credit though, they've managed to become a reference level pair of headphones of what you don't want to listen to.

 a bonus, the guys at bottlehead, and the community surrounding the crack (both here and on the bottlehead forums), are awesome, and at the end of working through the step by step, paint by numbers styled assembly guide, you will know more about headphone audio than 90+% of the members on this site.  
Sounds like you have successfully elevated yourself to the top 10 % most knowledgeable members in this site. Sorry, can't help the dig, but I am sure the building process is an amazing fun ride!

just for the cronicless
looks nice, sounds even better
 
received it from sennheiser today
 
you can request it trough the product registration form, takes a couple of days to get it
 
http://en-de.sennheiser.com/service-support/services/register-your-product
 
type hd800 into the form text field, or any  other product name or part number you want to register
 
you need to check "Yes, please send me the frequency response certificate for my HD 800. "
 
cheers

  Thanks for your thoughts skeptic. Much appreciated. I will probably be considering more carefully the next move...

 
You're most welcome!  Ears and opinions certainly vary, but I figured I should chime in given the hundreds of hours I spent with a woo 3.  I'll look forward to hearing which way you ultimately decide to go.

Indeed he has!  http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/marvelously-addictive-bottlehead-crack  As have the guys at headphonia, as has Guttenberg, etc.

Touche!  Then again, after 5.5 years of following this forum, and posting periodically, I would posit that this really isn't a very high bar.  Head-fi gets ~110k page views per day.  If you are a regular reader and have a basic functional knowledge of circuits, or have ever attended a meet and listened to a wide range of gear, or have ever built a piece of diy electronics, welcome to the club

Got my chart today. Shows a bit of a rise around 6k which is probably why I am having issues with mine:
