Prepare for Day 7 when you will finally notice how wrong the midrange and treble and staging sounds and Day 8 when you come up with your first mod.

And Day 129 when it finally sounds decent.

Day 7.1 actually vintage orthos suck

I feel the same way about the Andromeda. It's blowing me away.

Day 7.2 actually orthos in general suck.

actually no @Griffon the Sansui keeps pace in everything but the absolute lowest level information I can discern -- very small things like spatial cues. honestly, could just be the senns having an actually good soundstage. the sansui also remains more neutral.

I am also still using a geek out 450 so, large grain of salt please

Once I heard the layering and separation the HD800 is capable of (off of modest to TOTL gear), I simply can't 'unhear' it.. and it's become the 'benchmark' for me with full sized phones and IEMs. Still chasing that dragon.. damn you HD800!

@OJneg

Between the HE-6 and HD 800, both out of good amps which one would you choose?

HD800

the HE-6 just isn't as clean, and no amp will change that

there's also this nasty treble coloration on the HE-6 that makes them sound simultaneously distant and hissy that's not present on the senns, but that could change with amplification so grain of salt
