So other than the FS section here, what's the best way to procure this one of these days?

Forget the HD800 - just get yourself a MiniMax!

Amazing... at the price, or for a lot more!
Actually... as I sit hear listening to it with both my RS-1s and MD5000s... the MiniMax sounds just as good with them, as it does with the HD580/600/650s. Its great with all phones!

There's a great Millett Max on the F/S forums with premium parts (e.g. BGs, etc.) - it looks like its been upgraded with boutique parts and looks very similar to the MiniMax, except for the case size - looks like it may have the same BJTs and Diamond buffer - so it should sound very similar. Better give it a try and see what you think. I'm betting you'll love it.

I can't wait to hear the HF-2 with my MiniMAX. I've got a feeling these two will match nicely.

looking forward to this combo as well...i've been happy with most pairings with the MM, though my k501 didn't fare so well with some hip-hop thrown at it...which i suspect is not the MM's fault, rather the wrong cans for hip-hop.

still need to get my case done for the maxed, though...

Even though I didn't like the HF2s very much, I should think it will be a very good match with the MiniMax, actually, and I regret not thinking of trying that combo.

I am not going to argue that all amps over $600 all sound about the same. Lets just say I dont hold that opinon. Immediately, I can think of one SS amp that costs well over $600 that I cant stand.I can tell you this GF. I just got this MOSFET Max .... absolutely first rate and maybe my favorite hybrid so far. This amp using MS2s sounds powerful, full bodied, fast, clear, dynamic and the bass impact is stunning. No treble edge or grit, no darkness, no excess brightness. I have 12FK6s in and the gain is defintely lower than with 12AE6s; but the gain is more than ample. This amp pushes all the right buttons and I paid the whopping total of $265 shipped express from Canada. If my Stacker 2 sounds better than this one I will one happy fellow.Like I said in my pm to you .... try one .... especially if you can find a nice used amp. I think you would particualrly like the Millet Mini-Max. Myself, I like the tone the MOSFET version gives my Alessandros and I dont care how the Senns will sound becasue I have other Senn amps; although I would bet the sound will be very good. If you dont like the amp, buying used, you wont lose much on a resale. These go used for $225-325 used and you see one about every couple of weeks.[/
