I'm planning on buying 3 of these DACs (DSP system) and I'll be buliding my own regulated power supply for them, I'll be trying a few regulators with them to assess the best match as I find DACs unpredictable in this regard, like the Jung Didden Weekes Super regulator is not the best match for...

Personally I'd change the mains transformer, just ensure you get the correct type.

Needs more Cow Bell!  

+1   Reviewed in Hi-Fi News by ken Kessler, so I dont have a clue how they sound, I dont meld with the KK review style at all, seeing the response curve reinforced my mistrust of all things KK. However i you check out Hi-Fi Plus there is a very interesting follow up, that should not be...

I thought it was just me! I did add "for what ever that's worth" but deleted it as I thought it may be too controversial and lock this thread again.. It is funny how you can love so many wildly differing products though.

Review on 6moons has been initiated.

  My next HP purchase is going to be either the Abyss or the HE1000 (unless something else appears).   I've owned equipment that had a bad rep for reliability and its not conducive to a happy partnership with equipment. I also experienced a torn diaphragm with Stax Cans back in the 90s. So no...

I think an extended warranty for the HE1000 is an absolute requirement, absolute! I would not be happy with 1 year given HiFi Mans track record with reliability, an extended warranty would illustrate the manufacturers faith in its own abilities and materials as well as the assurance to the...

Its interesting to note that Magico are using Graphene in its latest diaphragms, totally silly price of course.   Back in Can Country the comments about the HE1000 are very interesting, is this going to be the best all rounder? I wasn't expecting Stax illing traits, only thing I had in mind...

Well just consider it a sacrificial thread, at least we got another.   anyone know why the original was locked, no explanation (to my knowledge)

I Suggest we close this thread and use the other active thread mainly because of the thread title which is less likely to offend, I'm just too BAD!   http://www.head-fi.org/t/760834/hifiman-he1000-planar-dynamic-flagship-redux#post_11458004

I totally agree with all you say,never did intend to be an early adopter, let production settle down first. Also i'm working on a new active speaker system which is also draining my resources, plus I have my AT ATH-AD2000 which is a remarkable very satisfying Can, my first headphone back in the...

Sorry had to start a new thread. How about:   Deluxe Ultra Magical Bonded Arrayed Silver Symmetry   The HE1000 looks like an Abyss Eater, I'd be very happy if this is how it turns out, gotta match it with a stellar DAC and Amp, the funs about to begin!

ARGHHHHHHHH! Jude man! Now I must have Yggy and Rag and HE1000, its not fair, its just not fair!

This pretty much is how I consider the benefit of having a music in the home system. I confess it does bug me when people refer to it as a "Hobby". I really think if you regard the ownership of music reproducing equipment as a "Hobby" your really missing the point and missing out on how music...
