Deleted double post.  I've had a tough day...

Folks:
 
I can't see the circuit diagram in my post above, so here's the link to the post I stole it from:

Post #1026, halfway down the page.

 
My calculation is wrong, the 2ohms is parallel with the HP and the 10ohms is in series. So for HE-6 which is 50ohms, it would be 11.9 ohms.

Nice work Khaine and Wuwhere - both look like a solid and more importantly simple setup...

That seems a bit more reasonable - this would be the same as the Hifiman adapter right guys?

The HiFiMan uses 10ohms in parallel and 25ohms in series, so with the HE-6, its about 8.8ohms.

All I know is that the Millenia didn't complain with either box.

Listening to RHCPs on the Cyclops right now.  What do you get for 2X the Millenia price?  One thing is that the wall of sound that the Peppers are known for is not a wall of sound with the Cyclops.  It separates everything, and everything that is separated sounds totally natural and clear.  I love the Millenia, but I've never heard anything like this.
 
I'll get you a complete write-up in a few days, but right now I'm just really enjoying this toy.

Okay folks, I talked to Jan about which resistors were in which box.  And the winner is:
 
Drum roll..............................................................................................
 
The cheap concrete resistors.
 
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
 
Well, I certainly learned something about resistors and matching them with amps didn't I?
 
Anybody interested in buying a nearly-new resistor box for balanced headphone cables with very nice Mills 1% resistors in it please PM me.  I will sell it for the $100 Jan charged me to build the box, thus I will be eating the $30 cost of the resistors.  For those who have a more analytical, dry-sounding amp, this box might be a good match.  Unfortunately, it doesn't match as well with the Millenia, which starts out as a warm-sounding amp, and doesn't need any help in that area from the resistors.
 
Damn, I just can't stop laughing...

Well, so much for logic, reasoning and preconceived notions!
 
Enjoy that Cyclops!  Looking forward to further impressions

Hey, this is Head-Fi, there's no room for logic or reasoning because preconceived notions are hogging all of the space...

Is there anyone who can make me a speaker tap adaptor for my HE-6 with a 4 pin xlr output? I don't really have faith in my ability to make one
