Happy New Year

We purchased the Sennheiser HD-800 for $1200.00 CDN ($1368 including tax), which is a phenomenal deal. Like the B&W 800 series, it's an accurate transducer but musically ADAQUATE. The Sennheiser HD-650 ($500.00 USD), is great, aesthetically, HOWEVER. At $16,000.00 USD, the Sennheiser Orpheus is the investment-grade product.

Those in the know, purchase the whole Orpheus, along with the original Stax Omega headphone with SRM-T2 amplifier.

The Stax 009 and the Devialet 100 would be a great pair, should Devialet build another hole. ($900 ISD).
