OK, preliminary report on the Cambridge Azur 650BD>Lyr 2(pre-amp)>Belles Amp One>HiFiMan HE-Adapter>HE560. They say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, OMG, maybe the Folks on the HE-6 Thread are on too something
! A little experimentation, Lyr 2 is a better pre-amp on low gain, duh, but I forgot to switch it over.
Listening to the Telarc DSD, Stravinsky, the Firebird Suite, Jarvi, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra late last night and the "jump" factor was out of this World, don't know how they fit the famous Telarc Tympani in my Office, but almost spilled my NyQuil at the thunder, deep in my backyard! Grip, balls too the wall bass, the 560 DO have, unparalleled dynamics, a stereo speaker system with similar capabilities would cost almost as much as HiFimanrookie's new car. Tone, good, but not quite as warm as the Lyr 2 with my sweet Amperex Tubes, soundstage, excellent, imaging, Just might, maybe could challenge Matt's Babies, HD800's, bring it on
.
All and all, a little experiment I am thrilled with so far, Theogenes, think you could part with your HE-6's, in the name of science, for a couple of weeks
