Hang on to the PWD for longer if you want. Particularly if it means others getting a chance to listen to different bits of gear.  I'm happy listening to the DA8 meantime.

How long are the Oppo's going to be in town?

 

[Armaegis]

Roughly a week, though I can stretch a couple days more if people want to get together to hear it. My day/evening schedule is all over the place this week, so if someone wants to drop by give me a shout and we'll figure something out.
 
My very initial impression was: "wow this is nice, I want one"

 
My not-so-initial impression: "the wow has worn off, but it's still nice and I still want one... and the build quality/comfort makes me want to punch Audeze and Hifiman in the face"

Hey guys, there's a water advisory in effect right now: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/WHRA-issues-boil-water-advisery--289994841.html?cx_navSource=d-top-story
 
Basically don't drink tap water. Boil before using, etc.

Yeah that's insane.   Can't remember Winnipeg having a boil advisory since the great flood of '97!
Although it was commonplace in the northern communities when I worked there  

 

[Armaegis]

Oh man '97 was nuts. Remember the cow floating down the river?

Yeah, my first thought was "Maybe this is what it feels like to live in Pukatawagan.

Heads up to anyone interested (Nathan, you listening?): just noticed a DA8 for sale on CAM.

 

[Armaegis]

Argh...
 

 
 
 
edit: wow it's gone already, and I didn't think the price was even that good.

 

[Viper2005]

I ordered an HE-6 (before they discontinue it), and it came in today!
Im trying various combinations of mods to see what flavour I like most.
I just finished the fuzzor mod and I took the cotton and the fabric off the outside grill.  I transplanted the ring and focus pad from the 400i.
So far it sounds great!  No harshness that I can detect (and I'm quite sensitive to it!).  

 

[Armaegis]

Haha, nice! Now you just have to regrill (or remove entirely) and you're basically done.

Just saw this HD800 in the classifieds, pretty good price, Canada only... http://www.head-fi.org/t/744618/hd800-canada-only

 

[Tuco1965]

The price is nice, but seems odd these are being flipped a second time already since August.

 

[Armaegis]

I thought so too, but hey I've been known to cycle through gear faster than I can keep track of, so who am I to judge?

(I just traded out a Senn HD580 and I seriously don't even remember where it came from)

The HD800 is really one of those 'Love em or Hate em' phones.. They are hyped on headfi quite a lot, but the sound is not for everyone!
