The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
Thanks for the feedback. And thanks to our nutty real estate on the West Coast, I'm not sure we'd ever afford enough space for a proper speaker set up. So for the foreseeable future, it'll be a headphone rig for me. At this point, (and maybe it was the 15 month wait to get it) the one...- winegeek

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
Congrats! Seems like a very nice set-up. Of course I would say that, since I have a number of the same components (HD 800, GS-X mkII, IsoTek Premier). In 2017 I'm planning on making one significant upgrade and deciding between upgrading the HD 800 to Utopia or the Lavry DA11 to the Hugo TT...- winegeek

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
My GS-X MK2 has just arrived and is resting confortably in it's new home. It is stunning, Justin is a true craftsman... And just in time for Canada Day, so I'll have plenty of time to test it out tomorrow.- winegeek

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
Just added myself to the order list. I'm curious whether anyone knows if the 2014 Batch is still open, or is the 2015 Batch the next one available? Thanks!- winegeek

I'll be very interested to read about your results. I'm considering these exact headphones to complement and/or replace my HE-500s. I've read that the HD800s are a great match with my Luxman P-1, but I have to say that I've always been curious about how the Audezes would sound...Would also be...- winegeek

Is LUXMAN - P-1u still in the top tier?
I picked up a P-1 (100v version) from a fellow head-fier, and it is without question the best amp I've heard. It's only been a couple of weeks since I've had it, and even less time since I've switched to the balanced XLR inputs from RCAs. I've read that it's a a great match with HD800, but...- winegeek

Solid State or Tube Amp for HE-500?
Do you mean between the HE-5LE and the HE-500? Well, the HE-500 is quite a bit heavier, and in my experience is better in almost every way to the HE-5LE. Is the difference huge? No. But it is noticeable.- winegeek

Solid State or Tube Amp for HE-500?
I have both the HE-5LE and HE-500 and have only used ss amps, and I wouldn't ever describe the highs as 'tiring'...- winegeek

DA11 reviews
Thanks for sharing these reviews. I've been waiting 4 weeks for my DA11 to arrive, and I've just learned it may take another 2 weeks. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.- winegeek
