I bet there's a chance.  I witnessed Ric (Blessingx) use a special tube combo to make the GS1000 go from "ear tweeter" to something I'd at least call a headphone.  Still bright, but definitely better. 

I do want more treble than the LCD-3 ideally.  My Yamahas have more.  CEE TEE can attest to that.  ;-)

Whitney's in all-out assault mode! Taking no prisoners.

Marv, I'm not sure if you even run the headphones through your BA when testing, but I'm wondering if different tube influences would show up in measurements?

CEE, I feel you! On certain recordings, it's an amazing headphone. I tried foam, and it didn't help much -- although going back to the thread on HF, it looks like my foam didn't extend enough over the driver. Gonna try again this weekend.

I definitely hear differences - still trying to determine measurable differences at the headphone. I have some ideas that I will try in the next several weeks when things get less busy for me.

i know the t1 is not looking good on the -50db thingy but i have to say that's coolest looking waterfall graph i saw so far. between 4.1k and 8.1k it looks like a hand with claws. kinda like a velociraptor hand to be exact scratching your ears out. your graphs are kinda like clouds when you use your imagination. i know...sorry, i don't mean to be off topic. some reason i just felt like mentioning that.

Rex brings up a very valid point. Good headphones don't make for very good waterfall plot art!

yup! that's my point! we should have creative waterfall plot art. if i knew how to make them myself i so be playing around all the time making the most unusual things,like i use to do in photo-shop or paint. i like the side waterfall plot as well i saw some some people use before. i forgot what headphone it was  but it looked like a hand slamming on pair of piano keys. while everyone see the headphone technical potential in the waterfall plot, i see potential abstract pictures instead. i know, i'm weird...ohh well i guess.

It'd be impressive if you could tune your T50RP to show the Mona Lisa wearing an eye patch on a -40db floor plot. I have faith you can make this happen!

CEETEE, have you made any progress on your mission to domesticate the HD800 yet?

i accept that challenge! but will have to wait for now cause right now i'm learning to write with my right hand(i'm left-handed if anyone doesn't know) and become completely ambidextrous so i can draw and write at the same time. i'm only partial ambidextrous with instruments and tools and stuff. so far my writing been improving a lot past couple days and notice how much more fluid my right hand is when playing the piano now as well.

also i have to figure out how waterfall graphs work and know how to use a mic. if i tried it now, i'd probably end up with the most retarded results cause, i for the life of me have no clue on how the whole measuring thingy and so forth works. of course i only be doing it to mess around. not looking for accurate results. if i owned a head dummy i would take it everywhere with me and mess with it so much making the most unusual and weird directional sounds ever and call it steve......or bob. i think bob is more suitable name for such a sophisticated head attire like himself. i think i'm gonna settle with name Bob. what you think?

I tuned mine to show Van Gogh's paintings in 3D.
