The HEADSIX, a Head-Fi support sales-action - Page 57

Love for headsix continues to grow.

Still trying to be the last post for this wonderful portable amp. :-) I was able to purchase from Skylab a replacement cable for my HD590s. And I was able to put on my new cable to the headsix and listened to Halley Westernra's version of Danny Boy. I could not believe what my ears are hearing. BTW the replacement cable is well worth it and the headsix is a great amp. For my apple lossless music.

PS I will be bringing it to Montreal at our meet and greet.

low gain question

how to do it really for low gain? i opened the case then do i take those two jumpers off? when i take either one i get an unbalanced sound. help please

Yes - both jumpers.

thanks but, when i take those two jumpers off. i get no power/lights. did i do something wrong?

Hmmm - I know with the jumpers in place it is in high gain. So, maybe you are not getting good battery contact after you had it open to remove the jumpers?

This is from the headsix thread a while back:

"Open the amp by unscrewing the tiny screws - be careful not to strip the heads - and slide it out. There should be a jumper there connecting 2 pins together (maybe 2 jumpers, connecting 2 pins each). Just disconnect them by having the jumper being only on one pin."

There actually 2 connectors each having it's own jumper. I diconnected 1 leaving the other intact, but what happend was the sound was more pronouced which ever side the jumper was on. So I finally just disconnected both and the sound balanced out. "

i actually tried that before really removing both jumpers, the reason was, i didn't want to lose those tiny things but the result, the same. no lights/power. it won't turn on. i thought it was a bad contact between the amp and the battery but, i double checked it.

Only 600. Are they still available? I want the black one with silver face panels.

Just checking in to say hi. Enjoy Scottsmrnyc

Give Jan an email. I think he still has some left.

I wouldn't mind a black casing for my XXS actually.

It's exactly 2 years after the Headsix has been introduced (April 10th 2007). Weird that there are still some left.

I thought a headseven would be in the works....

Must be Headeight by now.

That's sound so good.
Does it fit with grado sr80 earphone?

Hi,Another earphone, Alessandro Music One. Does it fit?

Yah I also wonder why Jan hasn't introduced a new head7 yet :P Probably because he's focusing on Swing now ?
