I'm going to have kuboten send an O2 to your house COD.
It's good to hear that your 800's balls dropped. After spending a lot of time with the HF-2 and the Headphiled HD650, I do miss the speed, resolution, and bassial (that's a made up word) accuracy of the 800. Overall, my impression of the 800 as the best dynamic can out there has not changed. Sounds like I need to check them out on a vinyl rig, but that's a slippery slope.
