Wow.  So after a boatload of buying and selling (mostly at a loss) I think I may have found my grail... 

Does anyone have the HD800 or T1?  I'm debating between them, and would love to hear them sometime this weekend.  I have a Blue Hawaii on the way, that should arrive on Thursday (!)

Hey all.  I thought I had more time for this project, but it looks like my work life is going to attack me for a few months.  If anyone has an eXStatA (or 717 or KGSS) they are not using and wishes to sell, please drop me a PM.

Has JMoney or anyone else made leather pads for the Sennheiser Baby Orpheus HE-60?

Thanks everyone!   Do any changes need to made to accommodate the Cooper 78-S6S jack?  If so, can I get a hand with it?  I've never done anything with FPE, and given how expensive the panels are I don't want to mess up. 

Sweet. Thanks!  I have also checked out beezar.com and bookmarked it.  :)

Does anyone know of any decent Atlanta-area electronic parts shops?

Yes.  Purchase them.  I would put money on them becoming the best electrostatic headphones at any cost.  I strongly suspect they will wreck the Omega II and HE90.  I e-mailed Stax about the 007 vs HE90 a few years ago.  Stax replied stating (and I'm paraphrasing) that they wish for the...

Reading the b22 review, I find it pretty hilarious that you'd prefer any singlepower over it.  That's like prefering the es-1 (srx!) over the t2.  The beta22 is measurably one of, if not the most perfect non-electrostatic headphone amp.  Unless of course, you're looking for color...  I mean...

I believe the beta22 is pretty much king of the solid state amplifiers.  I have not heard anything better.
