The adapter i have is a one piece adapter,no cable,because their's no cable it don't change the sound of the cable you're using it with . anyway what ever you do,good luck to you

 
Well, if you believe a short cable makes a difference, then one needs to be pretty confident that all the materials and solder inside the plug are magic stuff that have no effect (have you looked what's inside the adapter?). I rather not break my amps plughole anyway with such a heavy adapter.

Hey guys, any recommendations for an inexpensive hard case with good protection for the HD800?

Look at these.

Hi guys! I'm looking for a 4Pin xlr female - 6,3mm std plug. I have the Sennheiser ch800 xlr cable but want the possibility for 6,3mm without switching cable. Du you guys have any suggestion where I can find one?

I bought one on Amazon a couple of months ago for $39.

Thanks for all the answers. I have looked at Forza Audioworks and have bought there several times before. I guess $85 is not terribly expensive. But was hoping not to spend more than $100 on the adapter. Maybe theres no way around it. Or maybe just switch cable. But it cant be good for headphone to always change cable? In the long run?

You could build a decent one for about $20, or if you don't have DIY skills then try PETEREK, he's a poster on these threads, does great work and is quite reasonable prices.  Might be a longer wait right now since he just got married and wasn't taking orders.

So I got bored this past weekend and decided to try and turn my HD 800 into an HD800S with the Superdupont resonator mod, if anyone is interested I made a thread with the tutorial. (Spoilers- it sounds awesome)

I could do that, did it with my previous HD650. Bought Neutrik XLR from internett and it was good.

Sold my set of HD650's I have had since 2004 along with my Zu Möbius cable. Picked up a new set of HD800's off Amazon this week now that the price has gone down, I suppose due to the HD800S introduction.

Using them with a Chord Mojo and my LHLabs Pulse X Fi and love them! Serial number is in the 45xxx range and they sound detailed but not as harsh as I was expecting them to possibly be.

So my uni decided to give me an extra stipend for summer... for better or worse, this has let me start browsing amps that I couldn't consider before. 
 
I'm now deciding if I should keep my Black Widow order or consider if other options would be better. Thoughts? 
Possibilities: Stratus, ZDS

It seems like the weakest link in the chain, given either BW or LC, is the Modi 2 Uber. I'd upgrade to the Gumby.

Definitely upgrading to Gumby. I'm just waiting on Schiit atm... it's been backordered for 2-3 weeks so I'm just holding on til it's available
