By someplace you mean Jaben right?
Thanks a lot bro. So 6k is a safe bet for it huh.
I was wondering, head-fi rate HD800 at no 2. Does it really deserve it? To whoever own it, may I ask your views on how it fare against other high end cans if it is possible. Because based on reviews, most people said it is very good indeed. But there a few voices saying that it is a slightly upgraded HD650 with triple price tag.
Anyway I do not have the intention to flame nor bash HD800, just interested in it.
In my opinion, I don't think that the hd800 is like the hd650. The signature is different, the hd650 to me feels laid back and warm, whereas the hd800 is more detailed, neutral and has fantastic imaging qualities.
As to how it fares against other high end cans, which models are you referring to? At that level, it's mostly about preference as all the models sound good.
p.s. I have heard that the hd800 requires a very, very GOOD (read, mahal) amp to really make them sing

As always, try them out EXTENSIVELY if you plan on buying em....rm6k ain't cheap

Just my humble 2cents and should be taken with a bucket of salt. I believe there are some hd800 owners here that can give you a better review
