This is really how i feel. The HEK's just want to let you enjoy the music, and everything is present in spades.    *Edited (Moderator Note) - No need to re-quote entire review (be nice to mobile users, please)-

@Sorrodje Yea I have always wanted to listen to the SR-009 and see what they are all about. Haven't had the opportunity though. 

Hi Sorrodje,    Can you tell me how the bass in the sr009 compares to the he1k? 

Well to use your analogy. I wouldn't really call the HEK watered down. I think that is doing it a rather disservice. I would say the HEK is more like a smooth 18 or 25 yr scotch with all the nuances present. And the HD800 / HE-6 are more like a single malt with a slight bite at the finish you...

@zeissiez Thanks for the kind words. I used the K1K and the Low impedance outputs. I feel the Low impedance is a little better simply for the increased volume range. The K1K output is simply too high for the HEK's. You end up staying to low in the volume knob and its to fine an adjustment. This...

Thanks Money,    I am glad to see that my review was helpful.    I also agree percentages of differences between the relative gear being tested is important. All of the products I reviewed I would be happy to live with any day.      I think a big problem when I am reading audio reviews is...

I hope that helped answer your questions Angelbelow.

This my first review so I apologize if it is a bit difficult to read. I hope you find my impressions helpful.     Equipment tested.   HIFIMAN EF-6 Schiit Mjolnir Wyred 4 Sound Dac 2 Oppo ha-1 WooAudio WA5 HD800 HE6 HE1000     Testing methodology   SPL meter used to calibrate all...

I just received my HEK's and been listening to them for 2 days now.    I will post a more detailed review later if people care to hear more details about it.   I agree with a lot of what has already been posted. But my take on them is a slightly different. Yes the HD800 you "can" say has...

Can anyone share the 2.4.1 drivers?   I can't seem to connect to the musiland site.

fault id love to know where you did your case work from... im looking to go for something a bit better myself right now its very very very basic.

ok thanks will do Edit: Quote: Originally Posted by johnwmclean Fuse? no its not the fuse cause my other sigma (from the same mains) is working fine

I was moving my setup into a more permanent case and doing some rewiring / testing... long story short there was a loose wire and the v+ from the sigma shorted to the signal ground on the beta i believe i am not 100% sure thats what happened but judging from the wires positioning and my...

ya i must say that looks awesome i been trying to find something to hang my headphoesn on for years.. cant seam to find anything useful

I use kester 62/36/2 it works pretty well for me i like it much better than the 60/40 solder. it flows pretty well and makes good joints

I'm loving it, it sounds absolutely amazing... I can honestly say i have never heard music so clearly... You can differentiate each and every note and instrument in the music, its resolving power is amazing, its really like opening up your ears and letting more detail in... I recommend giving it...

My buffalo 32s did the case work myself from a bare par-metal chasis

You know i learned quite a lot from the initial postings and i did a lot of research before commiting to it... was just concerned for my own safety etc.. i have done work on lots of electronics before mainly computers i just didnt know the techincal details etc. i figure rather ask then getting...

I have the happy news of saying that my beta is perfectly fine and i was just being somewhat of a large idiot... It is singing quite well i must say well the one channel i tested... Just have to finish the final wiring and i should be good to go .... i made the silly mistake of assuming i...

ya im taking apart the whole amp going back to the drawing board and gonna recheck the circuits using the voltage operating points schematic... will update on how it goes

after doing a lot of work i have determined that the cable isnt the problem nor the buffalo so back to the jtree / amp will post on twisted pair forums for the jtree..

i tested the board again while it was on... and it still showing as shorted... on or off that is also from the pads terminal removed...

yes i did actually ok gotta rewire and test it again...
