Hi guys,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that we now carry HiFiMAN at Blackbird Audio Gallery. I've been pairing the 560's with the Canalot and CanAmp and the 400i's with the CanAmp as well with really great results.
We're going to dedicate one of our listening rooms at T.H.E. Show, Newport Beach as a headphone centric room where you can have a listen if you bring your own headphones along, to our Heed Headphone amps and the Viva Egoista tube headphone amp as well.
We'll have these HiFiMAN models along with some Ultrasone and Cardas in-ear monitors. So if you can make it out to the show, please look us up under Blackbird Audio Gallery and/or Profundo, whom we are partnering with for all these shows.
Thanks!
Dan
For those of you who could not make it to the show, here are some photos from our display room at the Newport show:
Yours truly on the right with HiFiMAN's Summer Yin and Peter Hoagland
(I've got the new HE-1000's in-hand)
A compliment of Heed Audio components. Left to right: The DACtilus, The new Q-PSU power supply (can run two components) and the Heed Canalot with Audeze LCD2 headphones. The HiFiMAN H.E400i in the background
HiFiMAN HE-4001 on the Heed CanAmp. The CanAmp continues to be a strong choice for many headphones. The 400i and 560's get along great on it.
A new addition to Heed's lineup that can serve as a desktop solution is the new Heed Elixir integrated amp. It has 4 line level inputs and a MM phono input. I was wrong when I gave out some specifications on it to Tyll Hertsens during my interview for Inner Fidelity but I was running with the info given to me before the show by the importer. The Elixir has an internal class A headphone amp and the class A/B amp section to drive desktop, stand mount or floor standing speakers puts out 60 wpc into 8 Ohms. It comes with a remote control too. 1195.00 U.S. list pricing. It's available in all black or with the silver faceplate (my preference).
Oh, what the heck, I'll add this here too:
