^Lolz...
I have a question for those that own the HE-500. I'm strongly considering purchasing the HE-500 within the next few days. I want to know how well they pair up with my Magni/Modi stack. I read in a few places that they work pretty well together. Is this correct?

well, so far it is my dream combination based on the review and thread browse in this forum, at the moment I can only affords the Chinese made audiophile items which I use everyday and enjoy it (HE-500 and E12).
okay. but you know that stax sr-009 needs a diferent amplifier and is not possible to put an aftermarket cable?
You definitely been reading a lot of wrong reviews.. Please don't be like me, reading reviews on the trade forum sections
Holy moly :-o ... well I guess you are right man...
it is not within my reach yet to have the Electrostatic can yet :-/
which mean I cannot use STAX can on the go / mobile while on the train (-_0)"
why not? whit a suitcase and a current generator

Hi,
Just wondering whether someone who’s owned one of these amps could give me their opinion... I have the HE-500 and the M-stage and I’m looking at ordering either an Audio-GD SA-31SE or a Lyr to replace the Matrix. I had pretty much made my mind up to go for the SA-31 but then the better warranty offered by Schiit and the number of people who seem to be really happy with their Lyr makes me wonder. The main things that I am looking for are a significant improvement in bass, no compromise to the level of detail and a set-up that’s good for most genres (but definitely very good for electronic music). I don’t have any intention of spending a lot on tube-rolling. $600 (incl. shipping) is my budget limit. Basically the SA-31 sounds pretty much ideal for what I want, a little bit on the warm side shouldn't be a problem to me. The only thing I'm a bit nervous about is longevity ... Spending this much on a headphone amp. is not something I can justify doing very often. Schiit appears to have a good reputation for making products of solid quality. I don't have a problem with buying from a Chinese company (both my HE-500 & IE80 were made in China, and I'm very happy with them). I'm just hoping the unit I buy will last a good long time and sound amazing with the HE-500. I currently just use an iPod classic as my source but I will be getting an ODAC sometime soon after getting the amplifier. I did look into the emotiva option but shipping cost was going to be an issue. Also if the amp also pairs well with Audeze LCD-2 that would be a bonus as maybe one day I'll get my hands on them. Any advice as to which one I should go with would be much appreciated. I just want to get this headphone rig set up as good as I can afford and get back to the important stuff: enjoying the music (instead of perpetually researching gear).

Hey, what was the shipping quote you got from Emotiva. Where are you located.
BTW the Emotiva works finely for me with HE-500, LCD-2 and LCD-3. Really good with LCD-2. HE-500 you get more volume play.
