Do you guys know where I could get a cable that will allow me to connect my He6 to speaker taps? I am currently running my he6 through the hifiman resistor box and a vintage technics sa5270. I would like to try it with the NAD 3020 and I don't know where I would get the cable.

There are a couple ebay sellers plus most cable makers can build a speaker tap (banana plugs to 4pin XLR) at a reasonable price.

Doesn't get better than Pass Labs.

I would get the pass labs if I could afford it, but that's not exactly in my budget at the moment. Thanks for the advice and heads up.

Let me know your impression of the NAD3020. I also hear some of the cheap topping amps are great at the rpice too.

No worries

Peterek made mine and he does phenomenal work,but it isnt cheap,nor fast. Might want to check out the Peterek appreciation thread to see what the wait time is for a build.

I will definitely let you know how it sounds, do you have any recommendations on used speaker amps for them other than the NAD 3020, would like to stay under 400?

Thank you, I think I just found another Head fi member who can make me one, which is great news.

You're in luck! I never bought any of these but monsterzero about a year or so ago went through the trouble of finding me a good list on ebay for speaker amps. All of these are expired but, the of the amps should let you know what you're looking for.

Wow thank you for sharing that list, I will definitely go through all of those, you guys are awesome.

Check this thread,tons of good suggestions for great sounding beasts from the past. As long as you focus on the 40-90wpc range many good deals can be found. Once you cross over into "The Monster" territory(100+wpc) prices tend to skyrocket.

Or,just look at my signature. All of my receivers were epic driving the HE-6,except for my 26wpc Marantz 2226b,not enough oomph for my ears.

Thanks I will check out those too, so I am good to power these with speaker taps as long as I do not pass a certain amount of watts without a resistor? I just don't want to blow the drivers.
