You would have to make up a very custom cable to plug those headphones into a BHSE.
Including a male stax plug. And wire it for balanced operation. A BHSE can source about 20ma
max, so unlikely any damage to the headphones would occur. In any case its clear abuse of
the headphones and is not covered under any of eBay's guidelines. Tell the clown to go and
pound sand.

Aren't you glad that there is a BHSE out there owned by a connoisseur who can truly enjoy it with state-of-the-art headphones like the T1? Makes me think that all the hard work Justin put in to making it was worth it.

Guy probably doesn't even have a BHSE.

Anyone who would spend $5500 on a BHSE would know that dynamic headphones won't work. Plus there's the 5 pin Stax plug on the BHSE that just won't fit the T1's TRS pllug (or 3 pin or 4 pin XLR) to explain!

Despite this being clearly not your fault, don't be surprised when Paypal sides with the dummy just for being the buyer.  A lesson I've learned selling over the years: idiots do idiotic things.  Try to be more selective in who you sell to if possible.

I was thinking about this a while ago, but can you run dynamic headphones of ES amplifiers by sticking some sort of step-down transformer inbetween? It's essentially the reverse of the SRD* products, and you don't have to deal with generating bias.

Quite regularly in Yahoo Auction, I see a supposed DIY T2 that supports both. How it's done, I don't know nor am I prepared to spend the asking money to find out :-

this is what a diy-T2 looks like

more solid state than most solid state dynamic amps

Because I'm so happy with how my 009's sound since using the Psvane EL3PH tubes with my BHSE, I've just ordered another quad.
I've obviously done this for if or when something happens to the quad I've already got, I can use this other quad straight away.
Before getting the PH's I've got, I was listening to my LCD-XC / GS-Xmk2 a lot more than my 009 / BHSE, but since using those PH's, I hardly listened to my LCD-XC / GS-X.

There's absolutely no chance that's a DIYT2.

Dunno. Anyway not to drift away from the topic, the question from NoPants is if an electrostatic amp could also run a dynamic headphone and this one claims it can. It just happens to it also claims to be a SRM-T2 of some sort.

That particular amp has output transformers. So yes it can run dynamic headphones.
The malvalve amp also has output transformers and runs dynamic headphones.
