Officially joined the crew

First Recteq. FS1600. Just burning in now, excited to see how she does!

Gotta admit putting it together took me longer than I thought it would. And they shortchanged me one of the small locking washers and one flat washer. Looks great though! Going to eat like a king this week.

Picked up a new turntable

I haven’t owned an analog setup in years, and never had a quality one. Really enjoying the vibe. It was tough at first to not just be able to skip tracks and bounce between artists and albums with a tap, but I settled in to actually sitting down and listening to a couple full albums and it’s been just a different experience.

Still having trouble lining the tonearm up properly to start each side though lol.

Picked up a pair of Hd800S and they really don’t sound great. Like my HD600’s sound much better. No bass, even going back and forth A/B with the HD600 pair with the same source, using the same high quality headphone amp (Schiit Mjolnir 3). No noticeable upgrade in soundstage, or the rest of the spectrum.

I’m confused, was expecting a step up, but to my ears these are a step down from the 600’s. Could these be damaged? They appear 100% in good shape. I’ve tried a couple different cables.

Kinda bummed, was thinking these would be really endgame level cans for me.
