oh dear....

when will be the next release?

it will take 5 days for my paypal funds to clear, I suppose they will be gone by then.

*edit* I noticed that when I add to cart it does not come up with any postage fee. Does this mean postage is free? I'm in Australia.

Is it possible that I can order one with a 4pin Xlr termination?

And is it possible to power the HE5 with a speaker amp? In short, what's the sensitivity? For instance, the K1000 has a sensitivity of 74db @ 1mw with an impedance of 120 Ohms.

We do not have XLR termination cable in stock now. HE-5 need a good solid state amp to serve powerful current. Will post sensitivity soon.

Will you be supplying two separate cables..one without a series resistor in it so we can run the headphones at 4 ohms and another with the series resistors?

The driver of final HE-5 is about 30 ohm, not 4 ohm.

aah..so no series resistor at all then...Cool

Thanks for the clarification Fang.

Or just a recommendation on amps in general?

Are you recommending that we go solid state?

I'm guessing that OTL designed tube amps may be insufficient, depending on sensitivity.
