Is this one recommended as HP amp for the AKG K701? They are pretty current hungry...

I just absolutely can't figure out how those Harbeth's can sound compared to other high-end speakers like the Nautilus 800 or Avalon or Evolution Acoustics or anything else in that range? Thanks!

Anyone has already tried this dac/amp with the AKG K701? How does it compare to the combination of Trends UD 10.1 (USB) + LITE DAC-AM (DAC) + Shanling PH-100 (HeadAmp)? Any hints? Thanks much!

pabbi1, I have got an xf2 matched Mullard quad - where did you get yours? DouglasQuaid, the new plans are out probably a couple of months from now.

Sorry guys, I decided against selling those parts, as I would have to answer to many question and invest probably more time than completing this wonderful amp myself. Sorry again!

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town - will check the PMs right now.

If you click on the schematics, it is an updated version (includes compensation caps on the tubes) but I actually have everything according to the schematics for the new KGBH SE which would be v2 and is a very small diff compared to what is on the page (the current source include two transistors...

Hi there, I have sourced all components and parts necessary to build the KGBH according to HeadWize - Project: Blue Hawaii Hybrid Electrostatic Amplifier for Stax Omega II Headphones by Kevin Gilmore but unfortunately I don't see me having the time for bulding this premium class amp. Anyone...

I don't see a source, or are you using your compuer to feed the dac?

Hi there, has anyone had the chance to compare a high-end Wadia 25 DAC to the cheaper but highly acclaimed Dacmagic2 from Cambdirge Audio? 16bit, 44.1kHz CD reproduction only... Thanks much!

No one has a manual? Ouch...

Just a quick question to the Stax/Koss stats users - which would you prefer, the Koss or the Stax 404 on a Blue Hawaii Electrostatic Amp? I know, the O2 is the best, but between the other two which are almost in the same price league? Thanks!
