Hi Rotijon, I am based in Singapore and I am happy for you to come over to my place for a listen.

I have been using the xf4 DD getters from Sittard. That is the one to get, you wont regret it!

Buy from a reputable dealer with good feedback will be your best bet. I agree that amongst the NOS the Tesla and RFTs offer relatively reasonable value. Problem is the multiple variants available in the market.

Let's have this conversation via PM

Not funny! That was exactly what happened to me....paid for my stupidity so I know what I am talking about.

I have both the RFT folded and disk getter and they are both good. Not sure if you have tried the Sittard brown base EL34 XF4s with the DD getters. They are the best I have heard on the BHSE.....

I agree with your logic and attitude. I am sitting here listening to The XX on my BHSE and the 009 at the end of long day; my escape from the daily grind. BHSE's reputation is all true. I have owned it for the past few years and the appreciation for its quality and design has not waned.. Every...

Same here....I am interested in the DIY T2 version by the Stax Mafia....

Same here. Hardly any drop outs after the first minute of engaging the exact mode. But All my music encoded in Flac and played through a SoTM music server.

You are absolutely correct. Spitzer has very generously contributed his time to improve the original design of the T2. I apologize for the omission. And to all the other great amp designers toiling away anonymously....a big thanks!

My exact sentiments. Justin: If you ever offer the KG T2, please put me on the list...

The Alps pot is an excellent choice. I have no regrets paying the asking price..

If you spend some time to search the related threads you will find some opinions expressed about the strength and weakness of each amplifier and also comparisons between them. The search function is very easy to use.....

Hi Andrew, I would be grateful if you can elaborate on how the Vega improves on the Dac64. I have the Dac Mkll and I am currently considering the Vega as a possible upgrade. I will be feeding the source into the BHSE + SR009. Thanks in advance. Leo

TMI?

I am in the market for a Dac too...this is on my radar. Please do keep the impressions coming.

I am 51 so there may be some age related high frequency attenuation. Does the BHSE + SR-009 sound bright? Yes but only at levels that I find uncomfortable and which is probably bad for your long term hearing sensitivity. It is almost like a built-in hearing protection...which is an advantage...

I PM'ed Cravenz sometime back to tell him I am unable to join on the 7th Sept as I will away for business. Perhaps the next time... Have fun! tiga3mata

Sorry just the BHSE. I owned the Woo Wes previously but with the BHSE....that is all you will need for an electrostatic setup wet dream

Depends on who you ask.... I own both headpones and amp. For my 50 year old ears I easily prefer the Stax 009. After more than a year of owing the BHSE + SR009 combination, I am still impressed which is saying something.

Sounds like a crazy over the top take no prisoner design and an estat fanboy's wet dream...... and with a name like MEGATRON...me want...!!

Not knocking Woo products....they have a huge fan base in Headfi so that speaks for itself. For my taste, I prefer the Stax 009 on the BHSE. I am of the opinion that the review for the WES by AV Guide describes many of BHSE strengths. Wont be surprised if they got the 2 reviews mixed...

I owned the Wes and currently own the BHSE. After reading AV Guide reviews of both amps....I stopped visiting their website. Enuf said...

Arnaud, I think your explanation of the perceived differences between the 007 and 009 explains very convincingly the polarized opinions. Does this mean that those who listens at a louder volume will gravitate towards the 007? It will be interesting to canvass the experience of users.
