You’re welcome back anytime!

today we took the chance to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Of course with some Schnaps. It was nice to see you all again, or for the first time as with @oratory1990 Addendum: my notes indicate that the second meet was on 2014-03-29… so maybe the first one was even in 2013

I don’t think they try to upsell you accessories. I have F, L and G spare pads and experimented quite a bit, but essentially like them best with default pads for all models I tried. I can’t stand S pads for comfort though. Overall I think that the default pads is just what they recommend.

that’s quite a challenge… one I failed again and again ;-) I have to admit that I like playing around with different headphones though

My interpretation of the text on Grados website would be Rabat the gold sounds identical to the regular 325x. Just a different color and possibly more resale value — depending on how many will be built. I have to admit that I’m tempted. Definitely not because I need more headphones… they just...

For those interested in getting a PS2000x / PS1000LE: there seem to be a few available again. I like mine very much...

Definitely interesting. I hope there will be enough attendance to make it worthwhile for you.

Thats already better than yesterday ;-)

very nice :-) I’m still tempted to get one of those…

I’m a bit split on this: while I generally prefer the larger jacks for their robustness and larger contact area, I do like being able to connect to mobile devices. But since only one of those two can be had, the larger jack with the optional cable adapter to small is preferable. Especially for...

@Nomax don’t feed the trolls…

At last... FedEx wanted to keep my packet over the long weekend, but I managed to grab it from them by paying them a visit. First impression is very good. I did not compare much as of yet, only a bit against my PS2000e. Tonally they share a common idea for sure, and from memory I'd say the...

Would be nice to meet again after so many years, but I fully understand if you don't want to share a room with too many strangers. I think we'll post some pictures here later on.

Thank you for your detailed comparison. Interesting perspective to me, since I don't listen to any classical (not anymore anyway). I can imagine that large orchestral works might benefit from the large stage of the HD800, even if its overall tonal balance does not fit my tastes, especially with...

I'm quite sure that's why some manufacturers mention that. Especially those models/manufacturers that deviate with their tuning from the main path benefit from a bit of patience for sure.
