Before the time of graphs, when the T1 and HD800 came out at approximately the same time, I would get so much shit on stating how mediocre or even bad the T1's were. Used to suggest that costing the same, the HD800 were highly superior. I was either wrong or it was just about tastes. Blah. In other words, I share your frustration. But now it's all the merrier: I actually have graphs to prove my point, thanks to purrin and others. Point being that some have no ears whatsoever
P.S. -- I can't remember where I saw the link on this site, but thanks for posting about Zaph|Audio, Purrin. I'll make sure to mention his site to my father who oversees most of our shop's internal products/services. I disagree with Krutke that all focal drivers are not worth it, but otherwise he is pretty no-nonsense and level-headed.
At least before higher taxes drive my family out of business!
Ahoy!Purrin owes me money and I'm here to collect Let's see, name's Hix on here (and NeoGAF), I've been lurking for a few months, mostly when bored at work. Staring at headphone graphs may seem an unusual thing to do to pass the time, but it helps. I'm a bit of an Audez'e fanboy, but I like most headphones in general and having a friend in the trade I take full advantage of the opportunity to free test pretty much any I can get my hands on.Love the serious chat you guys have here and especially the ability to be critical if necessary. I got jumped on for suggesting the Beyer T1s were vastly over-priced just this morning on another forum. Apparently measurements don't count as objective evidence either, natch.I work as a desk-monkey to afford part-time Yeshiva study and being married (and headphones).

A blast to the pastHow RD and I became friends. (And CEETEE too b/c he organized that mega-meet!)Disagreements with Skylab and kwkarth (note how things were much more civil back then)How I was one of the few to dare speak out - that is was OK to not like the LCD2One of the reasons I decided to embark on the measurements thinghttp://www.head-fi.org/t/496130/audeze-lcd2-vs-sennheiser-hd800/945#post_7290986
