    Which headamp for HE 1000 V2 ?

    I did a lot on that part, using several high quality cables, a/c custom filter with isolation transformer. It's really a matter of power delivered by the amp for the HE1000. With al my other headphones / IEM, the Cavalli is excellent.

    Which headamp for HE 1000 V2 ?

    Good idea but I wouldn't fire my Zanden for that each time I want to listen the HE1000 :-).

    Which headamp for HE 1000 V2 ?

    Thank you. My Cavalli is not resolving enough with low impedance HE1000. I was thinking about the ALO Studio Six, among others. Also Feliks Audio or Ayon HA3. I use HE1000 mainly for orchestral music.

    Which headamp for HE 1000 V2 ?

    I'm glad to hear about the Empyrean which I long to listen to (and possibly acquire) since a while. It seems to be one of the best open design headphones out there. The Ultrasone is a bit harsh but has great dynamics. The HE1000 V2 is more subtle, more finely detailed but I really need to find...

    Which headamp for HE 1000 V2 ?

    Thank you so much for all this. I had the Bakoon for a year, very clear and subtle, but at the time I did not have the HE1000. I fear that the Headamp or the Woo would have to much punch for my kind of music (mostly complex music, from Ligeti to Dusapin). I also was attracted to the Studio Six...

    Which headamp for HE 1000 V2 ?

    Hello all. I'm looking for a good headphone amp in the price range 2000/4000. My present setup is : HE1000 V2/Ultrasone 10/ Fostex TH900. My headamp is a Cavalli Liquid Glass. I find it nice with the TH900 and the Ultrasone, but really flat and lacking for the Hifiman. Any suggestion ? Some...

    Zanden 9600 MK2 Mono Amps: Review by Alan Sircom

    I don't know yet about the 9600 Mk2. I coupled the 6000 with Tune Audio Anima and will add soon a GG2. Could test the whole thing with LDMS server and result was beyond expectations. Yamada san wrote to me 6000 was superior to 9600 Mk1 but 9600 Mk2 was beyond. Unfortunately, I missed a sale for...

    How Do Horn Speakers Get Their Gorgeous Life-like Tonality?

    Indeed. The BD 5 from AER is quite expensive. The BDE driver is more affordable.
