Redid my budget and it turns out I've already saved the money I need. So now all the money I earn is spending money. Time to buy some toys.

Assuming it's a similar sound to the Move, how would the Headsix sound in comparison to Mister X XP and a Tomahawk?

Is too late for me. but i have spended the money in the Arietta, and i am very happy with it. I love much my new toy, jeje.
This little amp looks very interesting.
Before of buy the Arietta, it would be a excelent choice.

I'm thinking about another really small amp; but with already having a Tomahawk and a pair of really nice sounding PenguinAmps, I suppose that I can pass on this and just wait till 2009 for a Xin SuperMicro IV (if I order now)...

Isnt it another way around? You need current for low ohm cans to sound best due to high moving mass, but good voltage gain is required for high ohm ones but are sufficient with very little current?

Adequate headroom for 250 ohm cans would only be questionable under battery power. Wait for the reviews!

The K701's are less power hungry than the Beyer's so you should be fine.

I am somewhat tempted to get this because of the price size and high rating for quality that the MOVE recieved.

i'm a little confused about the current/ voltage issue.

like MaZa, i was under the impression that low impedence phones like grados and the prolines were current hungry.

so would the low current headsix be a good match with 32ohm grados?
or would it be a better match with higher impedence cans?

also, is there an internal jumper to adjust the gain, as in meier's other portables, or is this set when assembled?

Just ordered one without realizing that it is low current. Does anyone know whether d2000's are current hungry?

hi Jan & all

Can the problem of the battery room that was MOVE be solved?

I was very unpleasant in the loose connection of the battery and the plug. It wishes those problems to be solved in this product.

If you look a the back plate, it seems there is no compartment door, only a back plate like other amps...so problem should be solved.

Just reserved mine, should order here within the next week (damn funds...)
