  I also suggest that you try the 007 and 009 before you make a purchase. 
You may prefer the less detailed 007.

BTW, I tried to borrow both of these HP's + driver unit for them from TCC loaner program before making a purchase, but they no longer offer Stax.

All,
 
I placed an order for a Blue Hawaii on December 2nd of last year 
 
On May 16th I got a note from Justin regarding the panel options I would like and responded during the same day
 
Since then I have heard nothing - despite numerous attempts to contact HeadAmp by either phone or e-mail and get a clarification as to the status of my order
 
Although I tried to call during normal business hours, typically no one picks the phone up - and once I got hold of Justin, he never provided me with an answer around the status of my order
 
In my last e-mail I asked for a shipping date or a refund - and got none
 
Two reasons I am posting this
 
a) for prospective buyers to get  a sense of what they will be dealing with and
 
b) for me to see if I can elicit a response from the company around when I might be able to get my amp or a refund (as everything else I tried failed)

Petros.
If you read just the past month of this thread you will find that:
 
a) your situation is not out of the ordinary, and most here know what they are dealing with.
 
b) Justin is finishing the last batch of the BHSE and all pending orders will be fulfilled in this batch in the order received.
 
Cheers!

Yea no revelations there. ^

guys, I want to hop on the next batch of BHSE(the itch is unbearable) but don't have an electrostatic headphone yet, funds would allow for a BHSE with an SR-207 and maybe a 307 if I sell my current rig(heard that the 207-507 have the same transducers), would this be a good replacement for my he-500 until I can go for the 007 or 009(after two or three years at most).
ie. do these two entry-level Stax offerings sound significantly better than what their reviewers say they do if rigged to the BHSE instead of their comparatively entry level stax amps ?
would appreciate a reply too from anyone who tried relatively cheap electrostats through the BHSE and compared them to how they performed on their previous amp.

JUSTIN…WHERE'S MY BHSE…I'VE BEEN WAITING 2-WEEKS NOW! 

 

[bearFNF]

@shayson1357 - Last I knew there may be a few BHSE's left in this batch, especially if @digitalnomad cancels his order...

Deep breaths, and counting to 1 million help

....patience guys, patience, they are on the home stretch...only another few months.

  JUSTIN…WHERE'S MY BHSE…I'VE BEEN WAITING 2-WEEKS NOW! 

 

[joseph69]

You see, I went into this already knowing when my BHSE will arrive…when it gets here!
I just put my SR-009 (which I received this afternoon) in the closet so I don't have to hear them complaining.

 

[arnaud]

It's the same radio silence when it comes to servicing so hopefully your bhse arrives and stays healthy otherwise...

I suspect my bhse will stay dead cold for another few months, I am glad I still have the 727 around (but itching to get the mod done as it certainly is no BHSE in the SQ department...).

That's the best way to view it. I had the same attitude when I ordered my GSX-mk2 - that it would get there when it got there. It took a year but was well worth the wait and has ended my search for solid state amplification.

Headamp makes great gear, but if someone is into instant gratification or expects constant updates and hard delivery dates, it's probably not going to be the right purchase.

Thats right, there is no other way to look at it, theres nothing you can do anyway, so why complain?
Besides, the wait keeps me in suspense to hear my new combo. Otherwise I have more than enough combos to listen to.
I feel the same about my GS-1 w/DACT/Dynalo+ modules…great amp and also ended my search for a SS amp.

 I feel you pain.  Hopefully, Justin will take care of you soon.

Well here I am sticking my foot right in my mouth!
I couldn't hold out…I purchased a KGSSHV to hear my SR-009 until my BHSE arrives.
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut!

Congratulations!

But now you have to get an SR-007 too, which would rival your SR-009 on a BHSE

Thank you!
Believe me, I already thought the same thing about getting the SR-007 at some time.
