I used this amp mainly with a pair of HD 650 and it does what it is supposed to do: it has way more power than I need, it's quiet and it makes everything sound in its place. I have never heard...

Yea
, about like you heading up to Pensacola to pick up an amp?
Besides, I don't think the cops would appreciate me wearing my LA2000 cans while I drive:"...it's the truth, Officer. I was evaluating this here headphone amp and wanted to track the sound quality changes during burn-in...".
If I had my Grado HF-2s, he might just have bought it...

P'cola is my home town...
Cheers!

Pensacola is just around the corner! We should plan a meet in Orlando to capture as many Floridians as we can. Where is Raffy?

Of course if we could catch everyone between here and Miami, we could have a CanJam! 
I keep asking myself, what's a nice Floridian doing out in California, anyway?
Oh well, I had to follow the money....

Cheers!

Quote:Practical Devices is Canadian. The comment that mrarroyo made was why didn't I just run up to Canada and pick up the amp? That would be a bit of a trek from central California, kind of like him running from Southeast Florida up to Northwest...
Just trying to be funny...
and bide my time until the XM6 shows up.Cheers!

The amp is burning-in now and I am still on track to post this weekend.
I'll replace the first post with my impressions.

Folks, I'm sorry for the delay but I have been under the weather this whole weekend and unable to properly evaluate the XM6.
Give me a couple of days and I'll post.
I apologize for the delay,
