The financial crisis has brought us many bad news lately. However, there is one small thing that you may like to hear. Due to the rapid changes of the Dollar-Euro exchange rate I have been able to lower the price of the HEADSIX to USD 145,- only.
Cheers

Oh man, only if I had waited a few days... Damn you international crisis!!! Anyways, keep up the nice work Jan! Those amps really are some pieces of art!

Trying to decide which cable I'll get for my HD650s...
Sorry if I have changed the topic but I thought I would say something about how to improve the sound quality of the Stax SRM007t and Stax SRM007ta amplifiers. Many people have said that these amplifiers can not run the various models of Stax Pro headphones; that they simply do not have the power to drive these headphones and until recently I also felt the same way. I have recently come upon some information which might help the owners of the SRM 007t and SRM 007ta. If you are using a laptop as a source, you should be aware of the fact that your laptop has two volume controls. One is a physically pressed volume control that is on the front or side of your laptop. The volume on that control should be at a middle level; not up too high. Also you have an onscreen volume controller that should be adjusted to a higher level. Thirdly you should adjust and test the sound of your SRM 007t and/or SRM007ta amplifier to a comfortable volume level so that when it is at the halfway mark, you have what you consider the ideal volume and sound. All I can say is once I made the above adjustments; both of my Stax Amps- SRM007t and SRM007ta began to sound just great with far more than enough power and clearity. I hope this helps someone out there in Headfi land. Enjoy Scottsmrnyc
This little amp looks and feel very attractive nonetheless, I have still doubts regarding the need of a portable amp to power my ATH-AD900.
Those cans are extremely easy to drive (ie grado for example) but I believe are still far less sensitive than most IEM so I have absolutely no hiss issue from the headphone output of my Ipods (Nano so far but IPhone Touch on the way).
What would you recommend. Should I expect some noticeable sonic gain using the headsix (to compensate the hassle of carrying an additionnal gear) or should I just stick with the headphone out of my Ipods.
The total cost for the headsix + a decent LOD is close to €170/$230, which is definitely not cheap.
