If only the dollar was stronger...

Good program, though. I'm looking forward to shaving entire miliseconds off of load time on this site. Can't wait. (and I'm not even being sarcastic)

So now comes the inevitable question:

Which is better? HeadSix or Tomahawk on SQ?

OH GOD I only have $130 to spend on an amp, but I'll probably get more money by the 18th, but I doubt it'll last till then. This is really temping... but now the question from me is:

Mini3 or HeadSix???

thanks for the explaination and i do appreciate Jan Meiers effort as a contributor to Head-fi, we still cant forget that Meier Audio is a business and there is profit involved in his investment. its unreasonable for any business to expect cash payment sent (internationally) through the mail, the $15 upcharge is for ANY other form of payment not just Paypal. FWIW there are fees associated with foreign hard currency conversion/bank deposit as well.

my personal opinon would be for the US members to pay the surcharge and make payment electronically, it will be comparitively expensive to send a certified envelope overseas, and it will be unfortuate to have cash lost/stolen in the mail with no recourse. i do not feel embarrased to point this out even in light of Meier Audios Headfi contribution.

If you assume that the Tomahawk is equivalent to Hornet, and the HeadSix is equivalent to the Move in term of sound quality, respectively, then you can take a look at this THREAD.

Well, I'm in. First portable amp for me.

cbw · 10-05-2007, 06:48 AM

Mmmm looking forward to tryin this baby out.

If only the dollar was stronger...

So true, my canadian trip is going to be alot more costly this time around

I'm in for my second Dr. Meier's amp.
And mind you, HeadFi, this is NOT an addiction. I'm only doing it to justify the purchase of iPod Sumo as an ultra-portable solution...

IPodPJ · 10-05-2007, 09:34 AM

Well, if I didn't already have a portable amp, and I wasn't saving up for an Opera, I would go for it.

Low-current is not the same as low gain. With battery power, the HeadSix should be capable of driving phones up to 120 ohms with very good sound quality. Above 120 ohms, headroom will be limited and sound quality may suffer. With the increased voltage of an external power supply however, the HeadSix should be capable of providing enough power to drive all phones well.

The gain setting you choose will depend on the sensitivity of your headphones and the strength of your source signal.
