I just rewired my HE-6 using the stock silver cable which I terminated with gold plated Nakamichi babana plugs.
 
This is plugged straight into my Norh LeAmp monoblocks...
 
The difference between this and the previous wiring using the copper Hifiman cable with XLR to XLR adapter and banana plugs is quite amazing!
 
Basically I have eliminated a male and female 4 pin XLR and extra cable to the banana plugs.
 
The only downside is that I cannot easily disconnect the HE-6 without reaching behind the amps.....but the sound improvements are worth it!

  Spec wise, it's not all that different from my current FPB 300cx.

Just got my tracking too. I have no idea how I'm carrying it up the stairs though.

In a pinch, give me a call. I have moved a lot moar for an elegant bowl of delicate green tea.

Got something good? That's when you set & forget!

This is the one I bought: https://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-krell-evolution-302e-stereo-power-amplifier-in-factory-box-2015-06-27-amplifiers-80020-broomfield-co?show_listing=true
 
Just paid for it and waiting on seller to ship it.

 
 
This is just sick =) What does the 302e deliver at 50 Ohm ?=)
 
More than 30 watts or ? =)
 
The HE-6 are going to melt =)

How does it sound with the HE-6's , it most the be the best dynamics, and micro detail ever?

Yes, easily. I'm really impressed with the tightness of the sound and how it works with the superb imaging, staging, and layering which gives the music amazing realism and immersion. There extra clarity in the mids I did not expect from a solid state. I'm done with amps for a long long time.
 
And who needs warmth from the sun when I got that in an aluminum box! This thing makes my room damn hot! First world problems...

That will be just the ticket for keeping your toes nice and toasty during the winter

Looks like you changed your dac, it was Audio GD earlier.....new amp is for HE-6 or H1K?

Nice setup ohhgourami good to hear that your happy with the new amp! -  I know it would sound amazing.

Yup, upgraded on DAC a few months ago. I'm waiting on a new preamp to come in also. I have a rule of only keeping 1 of each item so I'll have a whole setup to sell.

Using mostly with HE-6.

@preproman sold his HE-6, probably he may never need it again.... seems like end of an era
 
I got it from him to have a second pair and avoid conflicts with my better half.

I saw his post. By sure why he did though.

I'm still hesitating in whether to keep my HE1K or not. I wish it were as easy as deciding on this Krell but it isn't.

I read people selling their HD800 then buys another later on. Just the nature...

@ ohhgourami
 
I'd at least give the '1k' max head time for a month into month two and then revisit which one makes the cut!
