you can renew the desiccant packs by heating them in an oven,it's like squeezing the water out of a wet sponge..... allows it to take in water all over again...... but try not to burn yourself(or the packets)

  how much of a difference is there between the he-6 being driven out of the audio-gd master 10 for example vs some boutique ultra high-end tube or ss speaker amp(is the difference marginal or enough for you to regret getting into this hobby as you pull out your wallet 

  ? )

Differences will probably be there. Just depends if you want to pay for them. Besides the Master-3 or Master-10, I don't see any other amps performing at that level for the price. I'm pretty sure they punch way above their price too. Some nights I wonder if I could should have saved 2k and gone with a Master-3 instead.

They get the room hot and very hard to take to meets. As much as I want you guys to hear my setup, I'm unwilling to haul it out.

That's a beast of an amp .

Can't blame you. Still gotta hear your amp though, by hook or crook! 

 "Bribes"...such a dirty word.
 
I still have 'Baby sinister' (Sansui G-22000) on a flat dolly.

See... I was just reading the worst dates thread and flipping between tabs. I was very confused for a moment...

Guys, has anyone used the RSA Intruder or RSA Predator to power the HE6? I'm curious what the smallest physical amp is that can power these. I already have speaker taps with a huge amp to use at home with the HE6. I'm just curious if there actually is a tiny amp that can fully power them.

 

[rlawli]

Tiny and fully are mutually exclusive here.

A Class D variant of some sort might get you close.

I had sr71b with an Intruder update, (gain to 23 from 11) and I heard from Ray it can drive HE6 without any issue.
Unfortunately I sold sr71b before purcharsing HE6 because all these years I thought it was a good amp but I was wrong. Nothing really special about this amp IMO. Think it's overestimate amp in general. There are far better amps portable amps out there at that price range.

I have it on good authority that HE-6 sounds very good out of the Project Ember amp from Garage1217. From experience, I can say that the Project Polaris amp (also from Garage1217) also does a good job, although, I don't have any high-end gear for comparison. Likewise with the RJM Sapphire headphone amp, although this is only available as a DIY project. I've got several class-D amps that sound good, but I think the aforementioned amps sound better to my ears. Of all these amps, the smallest is probably 15 cm x 10 cm and none are bigger than 25 cm x 20 cm.

In terms of footprint and cost, Project Ember is a good amp for the HE 6. I own the combo. Needless to say, the HE 6 will scale up with better amps (but you knew that).

Fixed that for ya.

To be honest, I was pleasantly impressed with my Xin Macro IV and what it does on a portable rig. Normally a 16-20 hour play was zapped in 3 hrs and very warm.
