Headphoneus Supremus
I'm in hopes the 500 will play well with portable headphone amps. The HE-6 is a permanent resident with a pair of monoblocks that go to 11.

HC, which monoblocks are those (sorry if you've already answered that previously....)?
Does anyone have have recommendation about slim portable amps thas synergize with HE-500? I was thinking about amps like TTVJ slim, pico slim and Headstage Arrow. Preferably something that gave some presence from the lower midrange and downwards to sub bass. TTVJ slim seems promising, but perhaps it would overly emphasize the midrange.
I have driven them with my Nano and my H-120 but had the volume at 75% to get decent volume.
However, as soon as I use my iMod or Nano into a small portable amp like a Shadow or Pico Slim, they play real well together. So, being called a portable might still include a portable amp in the mix (which is the only way I listen to my portable setups anyway, I never go out naked with just a player). These headphones have some of the creamiest mids you'd ever want to hear. No player's amp output alone, is worthy enough for these terrific phones. These are still Orthos after all, but without the necessity of a speaker amp.
I will be sending the east pair out to davederek Monday or Tuesday.

-Please note: Since there are many more members in the East Region, as soon as the Central and West regions are finished, they will be directed to
send their loaners to the next potential customer in the East. This should be able to make the whole program finish in 6 or less weeks.
-Also, if you requested to be in the program, and you did not indicate were you live, and you do not have your location in your profile (which everyone should),
you were exempt from the program.
