The HEADSIX, a Head-Fi support sales-action - Page 8

Response to an email I sent Jan Meier:

Dear Larry,

"But everyone is asking if HEADSIX "SOUNDS AS GOOD" as the Move."

The amplification circuitries are very similar so the amps
also sound very similar. There are some minor differences
(especially in the powersupply lines) but to be honest, I
never made a detailed A-B comparison myself. However, I'm
pretty sure they will soon appear on Head-Fi.

Cheers

That's only to you outside Europe. Here the Headsix works out at $200 as taxes have been added.

Rumour has it that the 9V battery has the Blackgate caps built right in it

The extra cost for Paypal was explained by Jan in the original post. It was questioned previously in posts #34 & 35 and an explanation given in posts #36 & 40. Reading those, it seems the cost is justified considering what Jan is doing for head-fi. Not sure about the extra charge for non cc Paypal.

Paypal in Germany does charge you always the same fees, no matter if CC based or not.

Well,

My AR-15 is off limits though (short barrel rifle with suppressor) ...

I'm planning on getting the BeyerDynamic DT990s...going through this thread gave me mixed responses. Some believe it'll be able to power 250 ohm headphones, some believe it won't be quite enough.

Which is it? Can this amp drive the DT990s?

@Deathwish 238

My Headsix arrived two days ago and can drive the Senn HD650.
The delivered Headsix is set on high gain and should have no problems
to drive also 250 ohm headphones.I talked to Jan yesterday and he told
me,that 250 ohm headphones will have no problems.
Generally I tell you ,that you would be very satisfied with the Headsix,like me.
Unbelievable relationship of performance and price.

My HEADSIX is already on the way, but I kept my guns and suppressors.

Everyones asking how the HeadSix sounds compared to this or that......NOBODY HAS HEARD ONE YET!

All we know is.... its the MOVE amp in LOW current mode with no crossfeed and something different about the power supply lines.

For the price its darn close enough id imagine.

From whats been said...for the price...What can be a better value?
