« DAMPING MECHANICAL RESONANCE DISTORTION OF STAX PHONES with SORBOTHANE»
i will not insist anymore ...if the mod was costing hundred dollars all will be interested for sure!
Oh trust me your mod has me interested. I'll be getting around to do my own version of that in the next weeks. Currently getting a measurement rig set up.

Dear Head-Fi,
Please help.... I am so confused.
I just heard the HE-6. It is by far the best headphone I have ever heard. My jaw dropped to the floor when the music started. It beats my TH900 in tone and coherency.
The thing is, I am running it from the lowly HP-A8 which only kicks out about 500mw into 50ohms. I have a super powerful amp on its way but I am wondering if I need it.
Everything I have read about the HE-6 had me believing it would sound awful in that setup.
Will the sound improve that much?
Cheers.
Depends what amp you have coming your way. HE-6 is a good sounding headphone either way though it's very easy to get better sound than HP-A8.

Measurements of my HE-6 vs HE1k which are both modded:
Overall FR's are not accurate, only accurate comparatively!
