Glad Im not the only one who is easily amused.  Groomster, you're a good sport. 
And obviously the Bottlehead gang have a good sense of humor with the names they give to their creations.
If you guys run out of interesting names, I offer up my moniker, feel free to use it, I'd be honored :-)    Although, the headphone amp currently in the works is right up the same alley with a name like "Smack".

My shoes should be on the way. If they look like they are supposed to they will make their debut at the California Audio Show. I have already received polos for Shawn and me, and they look great.

the senns at gc give you an idea of how they sound.  they are very neutral...meaning they arent going to have this large bass.  i actually really like them because they sound like real instruments.  i would not recommend them if you like electronic or hip hop music because i think they can take the magic away from "colored" music.  if you like music with actual instruments i think they are very nice.

my one observation is im not hearing the 3-d soundstage from them.  they are wide but i dont hear a whole lot of depth unless the source music is very well mixed and recorded.  to be fair though i havent heard any headphone do that well and my experience with headphones is very limited.

Groomster, I had read a post somewhere after we "talked" about someone who switched from the 80 ohm to 250 ohm 770's.  Im not sure what amp he was using but he stated that the 250 ohms sounded much better.  Im glad that you find that to be the case as well with your new 250 ohm 770's.  I dont see any reason why the bass wont open up with break in.  I would think that with the 250 ohm version you should end up with a bit better extension and probably better control on the Crack amp.  But there are bound to be some differences between the two versions.  Glad to read that it appears to have worked out for you.  They should get better with use.
