Hifiman HE6-SE
Short answer is yes. I run both my HE-6SE and HE-500 out of speaker taps of my old Pioneer Spec system and the sound is incredible. Have been doing it this way since my first HE-6 years ago and will never go back. As said by others, you just have to be careful with the volume control, both...- Oregonian

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
I'm with you and bagwell on this whole concept................I've auditioned/owned/tested/shared over 60 headphones over the last 10 years. It was a fun thing to keep trying new ones and I learned a lot...............mostly what I like, what I don't like and ended up with the HE-500, HE-6SE...- Oregonian

Have you found a vintage stereo shop up in Seattle? If so..........see if they have a classic unit in good shape. That's what I did to get my old Pioneer TT. What are you going to drive it with?- Oregonian

The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")
If you can find a pair nowadays in the classifieds they are well worth it. Still have mine for over 12 years and had them and the Fostex 900 at the same time - so close to each other (no surprise, built by Foster) but I still liked the D7000 better.- Oregonian

Hifiman HE6-SE
Yep, it's the Ali headband much like the V1 HE-6SE (have one of those as well but................blew it up by inadvertently leaving the speaker selector on my Spec system on A and B instead of just A and "Welcome to the Machine" by Pink Floyd played at very high volume did them in) but the...- Oregonian

Hifiman HE6-SE
Been away for a while enjoying these and my HE-500's (both with Dekoni pads, fed from speaker taps, both with Q French Silk cables) and it's time to ask what I've asked many times over the last few years...........who else is feeding these babies from a vintage amp? Mine is a Pioneer Spec setup...- Oregonian

Denon AH-D7000
If I remember correctly, Foster made the D7000 so parts should be interchangeable for the most part. Not sure if they made changes when they started making the TH900.- Oregonian

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
Totally agree...............have had a set since 2012. Had Mark Lawton do his magic, added some Teak cups (wood from SE Asia), a Q French Silk cable and Mark's angled lambskin pads. Will never sell these................and preferred them to the TH-900 which I had at the same time, also fully...- Oregonian

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
I've got an AU-717 that I use as the amp in a TV system that I use a Yamaha RX=670 for the preamp that is amazing for Blu-Ray's of concert videos..........watched/listened to Rush's Snake and Arrows Blu-Ray recently and was blown away. It feeds a nice pair of Polk Audio 5JR "bookshelf" speakers...- Oregonian

Pioneer's First Hi-End Headphones: SE-Master 1

May do that and post up. I rarely listen to the Pioneer these days, not because I don't like them but been...- Oregonian

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
Agreed they are still worth owning in 2023.............have bought/traded/tested over 60 headphones and I'm very much satisfied with the HE-500 and HE-6SE. The 500 has all the mods including fuzzor and were in mint condition - paid $500 for them and consider it a steal at that price. Running...- Oregonian

HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone
I'd say "close enough". Hard to remember what the bass slam of the OG HE-6 was after a few years of moving on from it due to not trusting HFM to support the drivers, but I do remember the OG HE-6 was unreal for bass slam/low end. The HE-6SE to my ears now is as good as I'd ever want. Hope...- Oregonian

HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone
All due respect to contrary opinions, and understanding we all hear differently and drive them differently, but having had two HE-6 OG (one 4 screw and one 6 screw), fed by my vintage Pioneer Spec system via speaker taps, nothing I've tried matches them for bass slam, nor bottom end thump. And...- Oregonian

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
I'm partial to Q French Silk cables mostly because of how supple it is..................have this cable on the HE-6SE, HE-500, LA7000 and Pioneer SE Master.- Oregonian

Still using my D7000's at work regularly..............mine has the Lawton treatments done by Mark, his pads, with deeper than stock Teak cups from a great member and a Q French Silk cable. Have had them almost 10 years now and still rank as my favorite closed back.- Oregonian

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
Yessir................over 60 headphones owned/tested/auditioned and here we are. The HE-500 is so much better than I expected. The mids are the best I have experienced and that bass is just perfect. I was down on HFM for a while after my HE-6 driver failure a few years ago but trying the...- Oregonian

Still rotating my HE-500 and HE-6SE weekly and loving them both.............so fortunate I got a 500 with all the mods done and in excellent condition. Probably keeping them both for the long haul.............- Oregonian

Pioneer's First Hi-End Headphones: SE-Master 1
I'm using a Q French Silk cable - didn't really notice any sonic changes but it is so supple and lays down so nicely. Have it on four pairs of headphones and love it. On my HE-6SE, HE-500, Denon LA7000 and the Pioneer.- Oregonian

Dekoni for Audeze. I have the HFM version as well but these have larger ear openings which I prefer. Over the past week or so the comfort (which wasn't bad at all to begin with) is getting even better.- Oregonian
