Sounds like a plan. That should solve a lot of issues people had with being left out.

Thanks a lot.
Looks like theres enough people that you could do a high-medium-low range sort if you wanted to also.

Should we split up into different threads, or leave a single thread for everything?

I'd vote single; easier to manage.

Just got back from demoing a set of Beyerdynamic DT880's; it was at a pro home audio place here in Houston.

I went there to demo a grado headphone amp but didn't have the right interconnects for my portable rig, so will have to get to that next saturday.

Anyway ... I listened to the DT880's through an Arcam A70 amplifier and I have to say, it was quite a nice match:

...

Arcam A70 Amplifier:



...

Beyerdynamic DT880s:



...

Whoo! Those cans matched with that particular amp sounded so fine I almost forgot about my Zen/Shure rig that was sitting next to me.

Just no comparison.

Now I know why folks say Ipods/Zens/etc. can't come close to high end home gear.

I've put the DT880's on my Possible Future Purchase List(tm).

I liked them much better than the Grado 225's ... at least with the fuzion/jazzy/percussive stuff I was demoing with.

Anyway ... thought I'd share.

Anybody have any comments on the Beyerdynamic cans?

Well, I have tried the DT990's from the 80's, and they were also VERY good for metal and jazz.

Can I ask you to buy one album?

Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss

It is my current favourite album of all time, a masterpiece.
