| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Yes, I got them. They arrived a day before my daughter and grandkids, so I have not really had a chance to seriously listen. The family leaves on Saturday, so I’ll have plenty of time next week and I’ll post my thought then. | |

| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s @soix - I just ordered the grand from from lavricable. With the 150 hour burn in, I expect about 2-3 weeks before they arrive. I’ll let you know how they sound. Thanks for your thoughts. | |

| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide All- I ordered the Naim atom headphone edition, and should take delivery on Saturday. So thanks everyone for your advice, comments, and help in my decision. I’ll follow up with a post in a week or so to let you know my listening experience. | |
| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide @soix - point well taken. I am treading a bit softly here as the last time I really lived with headphones was in college 40+ years ago (had stax electrostats back then). So perhaps I view this in two steps, with the second more expensive step go... | |
| All in one unit for headphones- help me decide @v-fi thanks- I suspected as much. I will delete them from my consideration list. And thank you for the re-stating of my requirements. | |
