Gotcha.....
Mark is a good guy to deal with. The F2J may work with all other headphones good as well.
I was looking at the F2J from the guy in Reno for about half the price of the J2... Do you think that's too low?
Yes - speakers on head - like the K1000 in my opinion...
Anyway - I guess the part of my post where I said I've tried various SS speaker amps got lost. I have tried a vintage Marantz rated at 100wpc; Blue Circle monoblocs rated at 50W; Audiozone Amp-1 rated at 45W; my old Yamaha integrated rated at 250W; and the speaker taps off my Marantz home theater amp, also rated at 250W. I can understand what people are talking about. And I respect all the homework that has been done by everyone on the HE-6 threads. But this is the Stratus thread and - again - I was merely trying to answer whether I have listened to HE-6s on the Stratus and whether I liked the combination. Answer is still a resounding yes. Never meant to imply it's the best combo ever.
Had the question been about the best amps to pair with the HE-6, I would have directed him to that thread. You get the point...
Now, despite all that, none of my SS attempts have resulted in answering the treble issue I mentioned. The Stratus did. That's all. That's also why I have been looking into the current source amps, since, as you point out, that is the real issue...
Anyway, onto bigger and better things: curious if any Stratus owners have been listening to LCD-3s on it like I have?
Gotcha.....
