I think that they are based on tulip bulbs.

Yes, the front switch. On the DSHA-1 it changes whether the two output windings are in parallel or series. The transformers are 1+1:1+1 (quadfilar). The inputs are always in parallel, so when the outputs are in parallel, the transformer is 1:1. When they are in series, they are 1:2. The Zout of the circuit itself is very low. The Z difference is due to the copper in the transformer. This is true with all transformer coupled amps -- they all have added Z due tot he copper. The jumpers change the gain. As a byproduct, they also change the input impedance, but not in a way that will make any difference for 99% of sources.

Wow what a comeback from the Bruins 2 goals in 34 seconds to tie the game ,I thought they where done when when the score was 4-1. Gotta feel bad for the leafs,let that game slip away after a great comeback to tie the series. In Hockey its never over till its over! Lundqvist stole the series from the Caps in the last 2 games,He is unbelievable when he is on. Such a close series until the last game,

No. We've measured 6 different sets from varying serial numbers (early-late) and found minimal to no differences. Most typically .5-1.5dB along various regions from 1.5khz-6khz. In all cases, bass response was near identical. There was a rare set of 'early' pads that a user has reported using on his early model 800 that was both thinner and excessively worn out that he used to do all his A/B comparisons with. He since replaced them w/ new pads and says they sound like a different animal. No kidding. The bass light/bass heavy HD800 is myth by all accounts and evidence we've seen, both subjective and objective. The greatest explanation for HD800 variation is upstream gear, then lack of gain matching and then perhaps head/ear placement. One will also notice a trend toward more balanced HD800s recently because their upstream gear is often upgraded over time, this is a possible correlation as well. The one area we know Sennheiser has changed was how they are putting out user FR charts w/ reduced 6khz peaks for the sake of marketing. We've measure present and absent 6khz peaks based on Senn graphs to be essentially identical. It's the same reason Audeze started randomizing serial #'s. To manage consumer perception which limits negative fiscal impacts to them.

Hey Dusty -- look at the news for "SXSW Grumpy Cat" - Tardar Sauce has been on a publicity tour, and she's a girl !
