Finally everybody goes his own way. Every new toy is im moment the best one and most exciting, but with the time it´s not more new. Maybe not that exiciting... Better stuff is always enemy of good or very good stuff. I learned it and think, BHSE will not be your last amp. Even your EC445 could...

I received some infos from the stand crew. It was 11.1 demo, the PRIR stored files you can use with the same 11.1 LS system. It is possible after measurements to use it in 2 ch mode, no problem. The PRIR files are individual, so usage of another measurement is not optimal. You take Realiser 16...

Yes. But, do I need the electrets with dyn-crisp? No, because I do have the needed crisp and crunch with 007mk1 or 009 in my system that plays at level somewhere between BHSE and Select. :)

First of all - many thanks to all organisers, especially to Ethan and Jude. Very impressive weekend at CanJam! Electrostats are my speciality. So I heard to HE-1, MSB Select and BHSE, both with Stax 009. Separately, it was very interesting to hear the prototype HP Sonoma with Warwick drivers...

Somebody knows about the possibility to test Shangri-La electrostatics at CanJam? Perhaps at Hifiman stand?

Indeed, see you in London!   Quote: Yes. I take one of collected conference-shields with me and put my nick, maybe avatar too. I will be very happy to welcome you at the show, I think we have just mailed with each other, or no? Having common friend in Neubrandenburg?

Count me in! Ticket just bought, my jet;) ready to fly to London for 2 full days attendance. I´m very happy to meet you all and hope, we from head-fi could recognize one another (how?). My Stax rig unfortunately stays at home. If it would travel wiht me, it could be very risky for HE1 and...

I fully agree with your conclusion. Over and above that to work/compare with classical material (acustic instruments) is much more effectiv, than with some electronic m. records.

First, I very appreciate and confirm most of your impressions. We were at the same place, at same time and could hear to the same stuff. I made a CDR with some 4 fragments of representative pieces and hope, you have saw it (maybe heard it?). I know well the old school Orpheus, that´s why I could...

@icebear: The soundstage of both Orpheus and that of HD 800 is not comparable, just a different space construction, imo in both- Orph. and HE-1 more realistic! I can say that, I owned two pieces of HD 800 and at the meeting we could hear a HD800 and 800S as well, next door. @astrostar59: I will...

I could listen and compare these two sets 2 times. This possibility was quite short and concentrated, together about 20-25 minutes. It was hard to name all the pros and cons in detail. Although I knew the old Orpheus. But my opinion is in no way much different from the general comments below...

Last week, it was an extraordinary event. A group of 20 hp-fans could 9 hours compare the old Orpheus with the new one of Sennheiser - HE1. Many fans have Stax 009 and /or 007, some of them use high-end amplifiers like Accuphase, Ayon, 300B SET amps etc. with LST, Linear Stax Transformer, a...

A couple years ago I had a carrara marble wash table, exactly as Senn amp looks like.  With build-in box and mirror... It was not too expensive... I heared Orpheus several times and can say, this hp was/is only so good because the HEV90  was excellent tailored for HE90. The same HE90 at the LST...

Wow... It' s max tuning I' ve ever seen. You changed almost all, what was suitable to change. Yeah, the green pcb has different design, indeed. The picture itself - very impressiv. Too bad that it does not sound as it looks. 

You´re right, I moved the tabs and saw the movement in the slots. Thanks. Now I work from time to time at the SRM-Xh, I bought last month. A little and sweet amp with some brightness in sound - it´s pushing my 007 Mk1 without problems (at mid levels)... And that needs urgently 8 new cups. No...
