If Justin was to build the KG T2, that would be the only amp that might tempt me into selling my BHSE.

I am sure it won't happen but the SR009 will give you a big hug for it.  :)

-1, as I just can't imagine the T2 being that much better to justify the price difference... I'd rather hope for a new flagship headphone from Stax.

Around 10-15% percent running the same tube.  Why would you rather wait for a new flagship from Stax?  I don't even think it will be as good as the BHSE to be quite honest with you.

SQ isn't the reason why I'd be tempted into selling my BHSE for a KG T2 built only by Justin.
I've seen photo's of the DIY T2 and while ( IMO ) the BHSE is a beautiful looking amp, the DIY T2 is the best looking amp I've ever seen.
Obviously cost would play a big part, but like said Justin will probably never build any.

P.S. I wouldn't be wanting the KG T2 if it's SQ wasn't as good as the BHSE.

PM me with your email address

what happens a lot is people use a different email for their paypal account. sometimes i catch this and change their email in my records when they start sending me emails, other times i dont catch it. and in some cases my emails are sent to that paypal email address and are never read.

Done, thanks.

Folks you are positively in for a treat, I heard this combo today :
 

 
If it was presenting the same soundstage of the HD800, I would be ordering one too -
but in this respect it is 2nd winner. Everything else is audiophile bliss, enjoy !
And seeing one of the BHSE in real life, the built quality is awesome, second to none.

I received an email on March 20, Justin. It said "The current batch of amps is now in testing and shipping is about to begin etc"
 
Am I on this first batch? Still waiting further email on instructions about payment etc.

If you go back a few pages Justin has given a cut-off date for the orders in the first batch.

Just curious. Where is this measurement? Under what conditions, load, voltage, test signal, etc.
Click to expand...

 
I have measured the first BHSE produced in the current batch (not under test in the photo)
 

 
Equipment for THD testing: Tektronix TS-4353/U distortion test set (SG505 MOD WQ, SG505 MOD WR, AA501A MOD WQ)
 
Results @ 100Vrms w/ SR-404 load, RCA input to amp w/ 1.55Vrms sine wave
the 30khz low pass filter was enabled, the 400hz high pass filter was not enabled, which would have improved the results 
Don't remember if this was the left or right channel however both were near identical
 
100hz - .003%
1khz - .0032%
5khz - .0058%
7.5khz - .007%
10khz - .0078%
15khz - .0049%
20khz - .0051%
20khz - .015% (with 30khz low pass filter disabled)
 
Results not comparable to any other amp measured by any other equipment at any other time.

I did order the BHSE as end of the line amp purchase for me. I am assuming that any STAX headphone upgrades will still use the same jack and bias, but one can't be sure.  I hedged my bets and got the HE90 jack on my BHSE on the off chance that a Senn stat headphone will come out (and use the same jack etc that the HE90 did)
 
Tubes I plan to try - SED "Winged C", Shugang "Treasure" and a new set of PSVane Treasure TII.  The first two are broken in on one of my speaker amps.
 
It has been awhile since the order, it sure is exciting to see it coming about soon.
