The BHSE polished silver faceplates are sooooooo classy!

I still prefer the blue faceplates. But of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

A great view, a great amp, and a great set of headphones to end the night:

Also, for those wondering about exactly how warm the BHSE gets, these are courtesy a calibrated FLIR camera:

The very center of the tubes gets even hotter but of course that's to be expected:

The best dac/ streamer pairing with BHSE so far in my audiophile journey!!!! It give the bones and soul to BHSE with the biggest three dimensionality and best stage depth and height that only Maybe T2 could rivals.

Which FLIR is that?
Looks better quality than the ones I've seen.

The FLIR C5, it's one of the better portable thermal cameras on the market I've found.

Which dac / streamer pair is it? This is not quite clear in the associated pictures.

Thank you, hifixman. I've had an Esoteric K01 for 10 years (excellent equipment) , but I shifted to streaming (Qobuz/Roon) wich is far more interesting than CDs.

I saw a blue BHSE in CanJam SoCal photos and then out of nowhere a green one:

Not my cup of tea but what an interesting color though! @HeadAmpTeam is this a one-off?

There used to be a seafoam green, also. First time I have seen that green I think. Unless there is something funky going on with the color in the photo???

They should make one with a matching color to the X9000 and sell them as a limited bundle.

Maybe they can, have you reached out to @HeadAmpTeam ? Headamp team does a lot of creative customerization, they even managed to put a dragon on the custom made model at Canjam Shanghai 2018.

It immediately reminded me of Muppets.
