Hell! They may as well throw in a mail order bride, to go with it; she could keep you supplied with refreshments, during those long listening stints!

Just in case I have to do some digging (NOT back-peddling), because someone may be less than impressed:
 

• The term 'mail order bride' can also be read 'male order husband'.
• I'm married to a lady from that part of the world, and she wasn't mail order.

 

 I hope that covers it.

Regarding cables, I just got a couple of xlr cable from monoprice in anticipation of my incoming x12. I gotta say, for the price I paid these cables are amazing well constructed and very solid. I have always found monoprice cables amazing. Their hdmi cables are simply astounding for the price, considering what you would pay for the same quality in another brand name.

They look similar in quality to your ghent audio cables.

I ended up getting Mogami Golds.  Still waiting for my X12 to be delivered from Massdrop.

From the pictures i seen it look like those 3 op-amps can be removed, has any one did that yet if so what was the results. I have op-amp swapped in the past with other gear but I was curious how it effected the H10. I also been thinking quite of bit of switching to the H10 from the amount of people in this thread that mention how their HE-500 sound being ran into the H10. Has any one did any comparison between the H10 and the asgard 2?  As I do see my self with a H10 some time this year, A X12 is starting to look interesting to me as well because of people talking about balance setups and the fact I doubt i would go thru the trouble of opening up my bifrost and install whatever new upgrades that come out.As my interest grows in Gustard gear as I await a modded U12 to come to me.

Just committed on that Mass Drop for an H10. It should play well with the HE-500's and possibly with the AKG K7XX's  that I currently have.  It'll be interesting to compare it with my Lyr and Little Dot Mark V. The price is right for an amp of this reported performance. I think they're close to hitting their sub 300 price again?

Ya the eBay deals are better for Canada. I got mine at the same price, then they only declared $60 on customs so I didn't pay any import fees. For the x12 I negotiated an even better deal that massdrop (including shipping) with the same eBay vendor, and I do not expect any import fees again. With massdrop I would have to pay reduliculous shipping and then get killed on import fees.

It pairs very well with both of those headphones, which I also own. Details and texture are quite impressive.

Can anyone suggest cable material + plug upgrade for H10 wall plug ? Preferably a good quality Chinese seller vs branded western $$$$$ stuff...
Anyone using power conditioner before the amp ?

Does it come with a very bad one? You can get a good wire for around a dollar from China, may cost a bit more depending on where you live.But any electronics store should have them.
