The HEADSIX, a Head-Fi support sales-action - Page 50

I don't listen to my PX100 much anymore, after switching back to KSC-35 (transplanted onto a cheap headband). However, the HeadSix and PX100 do get along well, and the HeadSix makes the PX100 sound better.

Agreed. I'm listening to my PX-100s right now on the headsix. The bass is tighter with a nice, deeper "belly" on it, the mids are more controled and the headstage seems more expansive. I listen to these as my "portable" set and have had them for years. I just haven't found anything that matches the portability, price and SQ in a headphone. They fit right into the slot between my isolating ER6i's and my sweet, sweet, sweet MS-2i's

Does anyone have a picture of the two jumpers correctly installed on the pins? Upon receiving my Headsix I immediately removed the jumpers, as I listen mostly with uber-efficient E500s. Now I'm thinking I occasionally might like to plug in my Senn 450SLs which need the added gain. But I can't remember what goes where and the drawing that comes with the amp is not helping.

what does the "heads' mean when taking out the screws?

the part with the "x" on it... you can actually wear out the "x", making it look like an "o", after which you'll probably have problems opening it.

oh! the head of the screw!!! ha I was thinking it was some part of the internal amp when sliding it out but I found no such part.. ok ok...

Isn't it time Jan Meier come up with another great portable headphone amp, somewhat like perhaps a Head-7 or something to that nature?

I still have my Corda Headsix and although I have hardly used it since I got it earlier this year, I do enjoy using the line-out hooked up to it on my PMP's, it sure makes a difference with my MDR-NC60 (JE Version) headphones, as they are usually 40 ohms with the NC circuit on, and it definitely improves the performance of them.

How about waiting for Head-Fi's 7th anniversary?

When he can squeeze the 2MOVE into the HeadSix case, with crossfeed and high current mode, I am buying it sound unheard!

When is this happening, I didn't get a HeadSix and I want one!

I think Headsix amps are still available, and you could always buy a Corda XXS, which is exactly the same amp with a little uglier, errr... different design.

my little turn knob to open up the faceplate is loose. is that normal? any idea how to tighten it?

You mean the plate to the battery compartment? The soft aluminum tends to bend - try bending the two protrusions that lock the plate back into place. You might have to take the contraption apart for that, simply unscrew the two screws on the locking mechanism and use some pliers to straighten the latch.

mmm it feels more like the protrusions themselves that are loose!

latch meaning? protrusions or the faceplate themselves?

Some 9v battery are slightly shorter than others, and so the battery doesn't push out on the latches hard enough to keep them from rattling.
