I have an earlier (Non Mark II) version that I bought from another Head-Fi'er and it is my amp of choice. It is incredibly resolving and very very smooth. I can listen for hours w/my Senn 650's. Bravo Rudi! Bob

I have heard from one of the people in the auto tube amp industry that battery storage is an issue with tubes. They draw a lot of current heating up, which kills the batteries pretty quickly.

I figured that they must be due to launch an HD-700, etc. Any rumblings??

I think that used Thetas are worth a lsten...very dynamic. The used entry level models may have a price that will work for you. Bob

Has anybody had a chance to compare the upper line Wadias to the EMM or Reimyo?
