Just found out about this new amp while searching for something else. Anyone know when it'll be available in the USA and the MSRP? I'm impressed by the specs!   Class A, push-pull, & discrete, and if those buzzwords aren't enough:   30 Ohms : 1.5 Watts 50 Ohms : 1.1 Watts 150 Ohms : 490...

Mini-Review: Stax SR-009 published on November 11, 2012 - download a printable 6-page PDF version of this mini-review Intro I've been an owner of the HeadAmp BHSE for just over 3 years so far, which I use with the Stax SR-007 (OII MKI). My opinion of the OII/BHSE is that it forms the...
