It's listed as "improved copy" of hifiman headbands, not as OEM parts so at least they are not trying to fool anyone=)
Anyway forgeries are pretty easy to avoid imo, just stay away from cheapies.

I always buy directly from their official Taobao store, although I don't believe Hifiman is on any forger's radar yet.  
What are you talking about Viper, aren't you using DA8 and HE6? =)


Good point I guess! Though I did buy those from Canadian retailers. And I did buy a few parts from their head-direct store..
I should clarify by saying I wouldn't trust buying anything direct from China!

So... the next upgrade is going to be a stronger table right?

If anyones interested in auditioning the HD800s, Advance Electronic has a new demo pair (came in on Friday).  I got to check it out yesterday after work and paired it up with one of their Moon Audio pre-amps - and it sounded pretty good. I also saw the HD700 and a bunch of Grado stuff
 
Wish i could compare it to my current NFB15 > HD800 somehow

Just bring your NFB15 in to Advance. They should be able to let you set up and compare.
 
I also have a Peachtree X1 usb bridge that outputs coax and optical simultaneously. Something like this is really handy for comparing two dacs. You're welcome to borrow it if you like.
