It was great to get back into Headfi after a little break. The Norcal meets are amazing as usual, with lots of stunning gear to listen to. I was so happy to finally plug in the HE90 into an amp and hear that it wasnt injured by my broken ES-1. Hearing them after a year was nice too:P As usual...

Hi! I have a one of the newer HE90's, but I can tell that the earpads will start to flake soon. I would be in for a set. Thanks.

Hey guys, Thinking of coming to this meet with the HE90 though. I'm having some problems with my ES-1, thinking it is the tubes. Hopefully I can get it straightened out. EDIT The left channel is all messed up. I thought maybe it was a tube problem. However, I have changed tons of tubes...

If there is still room, I can make it to the meet. I think I read somewhere, that Neil needs an amp for his stats? I can always bring my es-1, although id rather not given its weight.

Count me in: He90 Singlepower Es-1 (with some nice tubes!) Meridian g08 (possibly changing to DV50)

Very, very thick. Also hard to bend. They will pick up a light amp/source because of their stiffness. They are so massive, that I have heard stories of them actually breaking the RCA jacks on a source/amp. And this was only the RCA connection, the XLR is twice as large. The RCA's are already the...

Or have any experience with stealth cables in general?

http://www.stealthaudiocables.com/pr...metacarbon.htm Anyone have any experience with the metacarbon cable made by stealth? I am considering a XLR version for my interconnect. There have been many great reviews of the Stealth Indra cable, and supposedly the Metacarbon has 90-95% of the...

They are all good amps. Because they all went on sale at once, it scared a lot of potenial buyers away.

Power Tubes - EL34 "Fat Boy" 6CA7 (GE) Phase/Mid Stage Tubes - 6SN7 GT Hytron Driver Tubes - Jan-CEA 2C51 Bendix (using tube adapters) Im using the same exact tubes in my ES-1. Comming from the last glass I was using, this setup is a huge step forward. When I first changed the Bendix...

For quite some time now I have been thinking about switching my source. Im not looking to purchase anything new. SACD capability would be nice, but redbook is my #1 priority.

Going to come.

I would suggest not trying to impress the opposite sex with headphones. Just doesnt pan out. Muscles work a lot better. Money too!

It's simple supply and demand. Demand keeps rising at a steady rate, while supply is stuck for these headphones.

Anyone wanna take a stab at making an amp with this tube? ' Here are a few more pictures http://www.audiogeek.net/images/tube...tubezilla.html

The MPx3 is gorgeous, and really does a great job of bringing whatever tube flavor out you roll into it. There are so many options for tubes also.

Check the belts.

The timing belt is somthing to check right off the bat. You dont really adjust that, you have it replaced. And it depends on if its chain or belt driven for how hard/pricey that is. It is a regular maintence item that needs to be replaced depending on what type of belt.

Very nice!

I cant hear what you have to say. either way.... so please please compare the three phones well for me

I have a pair of L3000's. They are amazing. They pretty much bested all the top end phones at the meet this year in San Jose, except for the R10 and the Orpheus. Im not too interested in owning an orpheus, too fragile and expensive. So that leaves the R10 left. I sure would love to own one of...
