The HEADSIX, a Head-Fi support sales-action - Page 10

haha...I've been watching a lot of The Office...

Those of you that got thier HeadSix...how does it sound compared to the Move?

I'm waiting on my paycheck to clear in order to send funds.

Also, how many of these babies are left?

You can just email Jan and reserve one. You can pay when you have the funds ready. I'm sure he won't mind if he waits a few days or so.

Wow, I got my HeadSix today! I'm very very impressed considering he shipped it this Monday and in five days it ends up (not lost/damaged) in California!!!

He reserved one for me when I emailed, as was willing to wait for the funds on the 19th. But I felt bad making him wait for my disability check (private insurance is several weeks weeks late, as I just went from 90% disabled to 100% in August. For 9 years I worked as a part-time pediatrician while my doctors begged me not to, due to a progressive rare lung disease).

So, I sold a couple of guns on Thursday so I could pay Jan, the electric company, and make my monthly church tithe...

Whoa, guns, church, pediatrics, & headphones...I gotta confess you've got my brain spinning here, Larry!

Those things seem to me to have good synergy. I, for one, will sleep just a little better tonight knowing that a fellow Head-Fier has those interests, especially one with such level-headed posts. (IMO, YMMV, ...)

Any impressions?

Still waiting on mine... According to Jan shipping to New Zealand will take around 2 weeks

I'm on the second day of burning it in, and I have to say that the soundstage is widening, bass is tightening, and the treble is nice & smooth as of now. At first I was disappointed at the initial sound, which was thin and veiled sounding. But now I can see it starting to resemble the Tomahawk, but a little more bassy with a different smoother (coppery) sound signature.

Jan said to it needs to have at least 100->150 hrs of burn-in time to get the true HeadSix essence. Shoot, if I can expect it better than now at ~25hr burn in, we have a winner. Too bad I never had Move to compare to, sorry folks.


Gripes:

• The casing is not flat, but has a canopy/curved top and bottom. My iMod doesn't sit flush on top but is at tilt, and becomes unstable when trying to use controls
• The input is on the left most side, not usually in the center on most portable amps. Had to re-bend the interconnects to fit it.
  UPDATE:
• It doesn't come with a charger.
  ***If you are going to RatShack, it is the "H" adapter that will definitely fit the HeadSix.***
• It cannot charge a rechargeable 9v through its adapter. You have to buy that separately.

This country was founded by people like me - conservative but open minded, morally centered, family loving, homeland defending, children loving patriots.

They just didn't have headphones back then to know what they were missing.

I take my hat of to Jan Meier! :bow:
Building another limited edition amplifier, and donate 10% of the revenue to Head-Fi. His contribution are highly appreciated.

Thank you Jan!

oof, it was a hard decision between this and the Porta Corda III, but for the 60 dollar difference it'd have been for me, I think I got a bargain (on the mkiii). Any direct comparisons between the two?

I've never wanted a nano more than I do now. My ipod video is just too big for the headsix.

I used the little rubberfeet that came with the headsix. Now my Sony NW-A3000 is steady as a rock ontop of the headsix.
