Jude is not young, nor is Head-Fi new!

Actually, I am pretty certain that Jason Victor Serinus was referring to someone other than Jude. While I was at the greenhouse, I met a guy from another site whose name I cannot recall and there had been others. JVS knows Head-Fi very well and interviewed me and did a write-up on the second national meet for Stereophile online in 2007. It was somebody else, I am quite certain.

Ok, but Jude is still young-ish, at least.

@ the fortunate few who have sampled the HD 800

, which route would you prefer:

1. Going balanced with an existing HD 650.

2. Single-ended HD 800, with amp upgrade later.


Assuming funds exist for one option at the moment.

the stock cable looks like a radical departure from the standard consumer cable and is really sweet. Personally I think the HD800 cable thing is going to be snall in comparison to the cottage industry that has sprung up around the 650 cable

I would be extremely surprised if Amazon shipped a single HD800 the day it is released for sale. I like Amazon a lot and order from them often, but if I want something delivered in a timely fashion, I usually avoid them. And no, I'm not paying to get better service with their "Prime" membership. I should not have to pay to get what should already be standard.

Funny, he doesn't look young-ish...

I love to sell amps, but I think I'd go single ended with the 800. That thing did things. Can't wait to hear it balanced!

Can't wait to get my hands on one!

Were the twenty units recovered in Boston?

Add me to the list of victims. Just put in my order with HeadRoom. Now the waiting begins. Curse you HeadFi etc etc and I'm sorry about my own wallet.

I'm assuming my Grace m902 will be able to handle these puppies. It seems to do OK by my HD650s.

can't wait to hear what your amp recommendation will be for the HD800's.

I was about to buy the HeadRoom Desktop Amp after I heard it at a local meet with my K701/HD650's but I definitely want to hear what your opinion on the best matched amp will be for the HD800's.

I concur. The Canon 5D Mark II fiasco is still fresh and vivid.
