oh dear....
when will be the next release?
it will take 5 days for my paypal funds to clear, I suppose they will be gone by then.
*edit* I noticed that when I add to cart it does not come up with any postage fee. Does this mean postage is free? I'm in Australia.

Oops, I forgot to add shipping cost. The first customer is lucky. After 20 pcs sold out, headfiers can still buy it but you guys might have to wait for several weeks.

Is it possible that I can order one with a 4pin Xlr termination?
And is it possible to power the HE5 with a speaker amp? In short, what's the sensitivity? For instance, the K1000 has a sensitivity of 74db @ 1mw with an impedance of 120 Ohms.

Is the 3 year warranty transferable to another owner?

Yes. The old owner need to gave the new owner the copy of the paypal receipt email.

We do not have XLR termination cable in stock now. HE-5 need a good solid state amp to serve powerful current. Will post sensitivity soon.

Will you be supplying two separate cables..one without a series resistor in it so we can run the headphones at 4 ohms and another with the series resistors?

The driver of final HE-5 is about 30 ohm, not 4 ohm.

Or just a recommendation on amps in general?
Are you recommending that we go solid state?
I'm guessing that OTL designed tube amps may be insufficient, depending on sensitivity.
