Omg JV, do your impressions of EL3Ns and stop corrupting the minds of the young ones here with those lyrics.

I really think this is the most NATURAL sound I have gotten from the Elise.

A tube amp adds analog to digital stored music and the EL3N extends that Analog flavor in a very positive way.

I played this:

And I thought "boy, that that sounds like it coming off vinyl instead of one and zero's"...

It was GREAT!!!


:p

Well any sparkles? Fireworks? Snowflakes? Cornflakes? I want 3 attributes that you think EL3N brings to your mind most. Ok 5 if you must...

Yup I like organic. Heard it used often to describe tube amp sound. 
 
Here's someone's take on it:-
 
For the term 'organic', i'd say it's like a nice view out of the window during sun-rise or sunset, colourful, dramatic, full of lights and shadows, . And the term 'digital' is the same scene during mid-day when the sun is directly above. Same things out there but flat and usually dazzlingly bright. 

Remember that we're talking about the same scene, so they can both be 'realistic'. 

Tubes on the other hand can be even more dramatic, almost like viewing the scene during sunset through sets of colour filters, yeah, you'll be missing out on some fine details and the filters may even alter the original colours abit, but still, it's fun and there's more than enough to see.

I should retrieve my Sennheiser HD650 from the attic?  Well maybe I don't need another headphone now. THANK YOU EL3N.

That's a worry. 
 
Now will you tell me please why my Senn will LOVE the EL3N !!! I want to know the reasons why.
 
All this talk of the Senn makes me listen to the HD650 with FDD20 and 5998 now. I must admit I miss the 'fuller' music presentation when I stayed away from the HD650. It's more organic, more luscious, creamy smooth midrange. Sure the details are less, masked by more voluptuous bass. However if you have an aversion to high trebles, you'll love this. If you love Beyer's treble, you should stay away. 
 
Which makes me wonder.... does the EL3N restores the details, extends the trebles, gets down lower on the bass, with more impact and make the midrange even sweeter on the HD650? Is that why you said my Senn will love the EL3N?
 
Guess the only way to find out is to wait for the adapters to arrive.
 
Hmmm, I turn up the volume on Elise and HD650 came alive. This is with FDD20 and 5998. Don't write off this HP. It's very enjoyable now with Leonard Cohen 'In My Secret Life'.
I heard Leonard loves HD650.

Hmmm, swapped back to the HE560 and .... this planar magnetic is the way to go. It has everything and I mean everything you ever need to enjoy music with.
FULL STOP. Just get HE560 and Elise.

  Hey @CITIZENLIN, and all those eagerly awaiting their own experience of the EL3N...that "hard to put in words" statement has suddenly had a very bright light shone on it, courtesy of another midnight session, plus Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' and Barbra Streisand's 'Guilty' albums - ie. could have sworn I was listening to pristine vinyl, not CD!!...but without a single click, plop, thud, hint of hiss...just deathly, black, background silence...sheer heaven!...How can this be?...My state of confounded confusion is now complete, lol!

Goodnight to you all...and welcome to 2016....CHEERS!

ps. Final confirmation of the 'vinyl' sound - my acid test...Annie Lennox's "No more I love you's", and Alison Moyet's "All cried out", which on CD are usually especially prone to its main drawbacks. Have just been able to listen to them both at the highest volume I have ever managed without wincing, and without losing any sparkle or treble energy and detail. Complete...utter...total...confounded...confusion!!

I am not sure who is more tired my system or myself, My my stereo had 5 hrs off time the last 24 hours. The LP + sound of EL3N made me pull out my turntable Sota Moonbean of my garage for the last 10 years.
