The HEADSIX, a Head-Fi support sales-action - Page 15

Just got the amp, it's awesome! Burning it in as we speak. While the silver looks unbelievable, it somewhat clashes with my black 3g Nano Sumo. Anyone with a black Headsix wanna trade for a silver?

Does anyone have a Headsix and Mini^3??? If so, can you compare please?

I've never owned a Meier amp and the curiosity is killing me.

Order placed (and a turbo diabolous v11!)

It easily powers the 80ohm version on low gain mode (it comes in high gain mode, but it's easy to change with 2 jumpers). I don't have a 250ohm pair to test with though.

I sent Jan my money almost a week ago. This was BEFORE I decided I shoulda just sent paypal and ate the extra $15....what worries me, is Jan hasn't received my funds yet....

I received my HeadSix today. I like it straight out of box. It is forward sounding to my ears, very accurate and a lot of fun. I am sure with some hours on it it will be even better.

Cheers

Kudos to Dr. Meier.

OK. It's my third day with the HeadSix. I've been using both the Move and HeadSix in the last few days. By today, I can say that I won't be able to tell if I'm using the Move or the HeadSix if I don't see the amps.

Also, I found both the Move and HeadSix can synergize nicely with Grado SR series. The frequency extension of these amps give the SR cans the needed bass without boosting the treble to sibilance.

I can say that the HeadSix is my bargain of the year in Head-Fi new gears category. Kudos to Jan for a down-to-earth high performance portable amp.

Highly recommended.

Very nice amp. Really improved a lot after putting in some hours.

I've lost one of the rubber feet though

Here you are.

Order placed!

super-fi pro and er4s

anybody here using this amp with super-fi pro and/or er4s? i have a little worry about the ue because they're extra sensitive and er4s because they're hard to power and power/pair it good

The Move pairs great with ER4S so there should be no problem driving them by HeadSix.
Still wait for mine. It's been almost two weeks since Jan shipped it...

The Headsix sounds excellent with the Er4-s. The sound is very 'organic'.

Headsix finally arrived!

I finally received the Headsix today. I was one of the first to order and this being my first amplifier, I was very anxious. Well, at first glance, all i have to say is this amp looks every bit as sexy as you think (maybe more). I am all over it like flies on **** first Boy was I glad i waited for this one and didnt jump on the Corda Move bandwagon (i didnt want the DAC). I dont have much of a headphone inventory as you can see from my sig and I dont have ears like some of you do but I'll try my best to elaborate on the difference. Right out of the box, the soundstage, the bass and the organic(ness) is very impressive. The highs sound very smooth and balanced and not fatiguing at all. The mids sound very relaxing. I can distinguish between all the instruments much more than I previsouly was able to. The bass is definately tighter and goes deeper. It doesnt drown everything else out. The soundstage seems wider and maybe a little more round? I havent gone past 3 O'clock on the knob but even at those levels the sound was phenomenal and boy can this thing get loud. Its almost like its brought out a new dimension to my ears. For my first amp, 275$ spent so far on joining head-fi in only a few weeks, I am one happy camper. Next stop, a desktop amp and some DT770 or DT880

Ok, after burning in for 80 hours, here is my humble opinion on the HeadSix.

The 2 most apparent differences from brand new to now is:

1) The mids/vocals are definitely more up front, which a great thing. I really thought they were too recessed, but they now sound super balanced.

2) The low end has really tightened up and is more pronounced which makes the kick drum sound punchy and not so "woofy". It has a nice weight to it without being overbearing. Very nice!

I've been listening to my Tomahawk non-stop since the start of the burn-in and I must say that the HeadSix is smoother, more balanced and warmer which makes it easier to listen to without fatique for long periods of time. There is an airiness to the HeadSix that I truly love! It's very much like the Move in that aspect. The Tomahawk is more analytical and more in your face, which is great for certain genres.

Overall, I truly love this amp and can't wait till the 200 hour mark!

Just my 2 cents.....
