Anyone tried running these out of the power outlet yet?
EDIT: maybe you could hear the government secrets

It is a great listen, and works well as long as you aren't expecting to listen at like 80-90db. I'm happy around 70-75.Thanks I had assumed going off the speaker taps would be the way to go. I haven't been been using my HE6 much of late as I really find them hard to listening to sounding just ok when I know just how well it can sound off of a well matched amp.
I've been toying with building the yet to be released Elekit tu-8900E which can use both 300b or 2A3 tubes for speaker use however if it can drive the HE6 reasonably well I will probably consider hanging onto the HE6 for a bit longer as have been sitting in their box for a while now.
Cheers
You Are crazy?! I have had 8th pairs of he6, the audio mythological legendary talk about the HE6 is just going overboard atm…. I’ve heard the he6 from A90, McIntosh MAH 150, Ragnarok 2 and the Busin soloist 3x.What is the highest power advisable for these cans? I want to use a Crown DC300 to see how far the bass can be brought up. Did read that someone popped their driver on far less power.
Hello, thanks for your experiences. I am speaking of the HE6SE as well. The most recent measures available (on another site) show that it has almost 79.5 db/mW sensitivity down from 83.5 in the original HE6. Impedance is also now 64 ohms. I don't know if this is because they reduced the amount of gold in the traces on the driver.You Are crazy?!

The biggest difference for me was going from A90 to The Soloist 3x. The Burson had just so much better sub bass, and the instruments sounded much more natural..
Ragnarok 2 was also good, but I liked the burson better… Might because the burson I running class A, on the he6se…
That said, I did not run any technical comparisons between the amps. But from my understanding, class A amps gives you more musical "tube like" delivery.
And that is what I wanted to promote with my experience, it’s not about the amount of wattage but quality is at least as important….
Final note is to use EQ to add bass to these headphones, (they are flat in stock, having a amp that ads bass, would also add bass to other headphones connected to the same setup)
Unfortunately I am only playing with the HE6SE for now. Maybe HE6 in the future if things don't blow up!Also, most of the fun in owning the HE6 models is the journey in upgrading your equipment… The HE6 are revealing the quality of the sources… You don’t need to have everything thing in place for the HE6, they are already one of the best headfi gear you could own running from a budget amp like the A90
I think it was your comments on the HE6+F1J that made me hunt down an F1J 4-5 years ago. It took ages to find, but I did get one and I'm very squeamish about letting it go now. It's quite a unique amp with it's current mode application, and pairs very nicely with plannars, and the HE6.i owned the hifiman he6 a long time ago and i bought two amps to pair it with - first watt J2 and first watt f1J . the fisrt watt f1J is the best one ive heard with the he6 - the sound is mind blowing and the j2 does not even compare .
i wonder now that we have the hifiman he6se - are there other amps that make the he6 or he6se rock coz the f1J is veyr hard to come by .
