linar audio a105 stereo pure class A amplifier. 50watts rms x2 into 8 ohms. 65 pounds.
 
from the founder of simaudio, victor sima. the shop is located in Ottawa Canada. very small factory and he has only one dealer in montreal.

A115 Stereo MOSFET Power Amplifier could also be a great candidate to drive he-6. class a/B 150 watts into 8 ohms.
 
they cost 8500 bucks wich is half the price of comparable luxmans, esoteric, musical fidelity. they are cheaper cause the guy wants to stay very small and he only sells in montreal and does not care. but you can find these amps sometimes on canuckaudiomart.
 
I want the 50 watts pure class A. I am spotting for a used one.

Every few weeks or so I feel like i should just chime in and remind people that you don't need a speaker amp for the HE-6 to sound really good.

My God, rookie lives ! I thought you would never surface again after the "devilish" amp that you own. How is it going with the amp and the Code-X?

Hehehehe well am still alive..but am in love with this amp and my phones...enjoying every night some hours of musical bliss.
And since last wednesday i cant imagine finding a better sounding headphone amp for the price i paid for it..ever! I think its finally almost burned in now (since 2march)...still around 150 hrs or so to go..

last wednesday its sound all of a sudden changed significally for the better!!! I will update my review soon with the last experiences... The amp was already extremely good..but this is downward redicules how my rig sounds like now on a headphone! I heard HIGh END speaker stuff owned by two of my friends..but seriously..even they are stunned how this is possible...and they are 100% against headphone amps! For them only speakers are capable to give u a live experience... But somehow they are impressed of what my light (only 20kg's) headphone amp can do...

Oops..i talk to much...
Check my review my friend if ur interested in updates about my amp.
Have a good one kothganesh!

  I was thinking of powering my HE-6 with my speaker amplifier which is a Crown NXLS1500. It outputs 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 525 watts per channel at 4 ohms, 1550 watts per channel at 4 ohms bridged. Is this overkill? Or should I just put the volume knob at a very low level?

  Dropping in to mention that I've reached the conclusion that the HE-6 is driven stunningly well by the Auralic Taurus (I have the mkI) Crystal clear, deep and wide, punchy and delicate. I really cannot see how much more there is to get, if anything. I've tried a couple of good speaker amps as well as a load of headamps, but the Taurus is better and I really do not find anything to miss. They sound like a planar flagship driven by a matching amp should do.

I am still burning in my new HE6, but from what I am hearing right now from my Vega/Taurus Mk2 setup, they are right up there with my LCD-X.
 
If the Taurus can drive them up to LCD-X SQ (or very close to it), what more is there?
