Hi everyone. I stumbled upon this post today. Thanks for sharing it Chris. I just want to comment on some of the comments regarding "marketing" specifically dalethorn's comments about the HD800 and marketing etc...
I went through great pains to ensure that the work I put into this review would reflect my real life experiences, no one else's and would not be tainted by an objective to sell anything. It's not something that I advertise, but the company for which I work, Headphones.com has never carried the HD800. We also have never carried the HE-6 or any Hifiman product. I had no objective to make the HD800 look good for marketing reasons. I wish we sold the HD800, but due to regulations with the manufacturer we are not able to at this time. I just wanted to clear the air of the accusations (theres been several assumptions such as this on head-fi as well) that there is any hidden agenda with regard to the work I put into the review. It was done simply out of love and respect for the hobby. The K1000 are definitely listed where they should be with regard to my personal experience with them.
and by the way Dale, i'm not angry at all.... I would be skeptical too.
