I would be otherwise kinder to that SAA fucker, but I can't because of this paragraph on his website:

Stefan AudioArt’s headphone modifications are based on James Serdechny 35 years of experience as an engineer and musician. By removing or replacing key parts of the assembly of the HD800 headphones the issue of vibration control is properly address and the result is a headphone which performs at a significantly higher level. Every headphone mod we’ve come across on the market has been created by DIY individuals who operate on misguided notions. Their approach to adding materials to a headphone comes from their lack of knowledge of headphone design and the result yields degradation in the performance of the headphone which can be easily heard in a headphone system setup with properly designed cables and vibration control.

I mean, what a fucking asshole. $379... But then again, this is what most cable and mod guys do ... spew BS. What I'm doing here is definitely showing that the Anax mod was not based on misguided notions. Stefan AudioArt’s headphone modifications are based on ripping you off. I'll show you guys in the next post.

So awesome. I'm really curious to see what can be done with the HD800 driver. I've always been impressed by the 800s, but they never really felt engaging enough; I would definitely wind up modding them if I ever owned a pair.
