No apologies for being technical and equipment hungry, the HE6 is not to be taken lightly and needs a certain level of masochism to get right.

Well this is by and far the most technical, high tech, and equipment hungry thread of all the flagship threads on hifi. Interesting.
In other news, I just got pwned so hard on my purchase of T1s for retail http://www.head-fi.org/t/508836/the-official-beyerdynamic-t1-owners-club-appreciation-discussion-thread/6900#post_10317060
I'm so down. i went from eagerly anticipating my T1s to hating them. I should have gotten an HE6 + an amp.
This is really an awful hobby though. All you do is spend your time searching for better and better sound. i know eventually once I have my headphones I'll be buying amps and stuff too. it's like the siren's song in the odyssey, sort of literally, except it's not beautiful women singing its all this cool equipment. i've blown off so much work over the past few weeks too.

Craig the new wires e looks cool. . I did a comparison today with the krell and the wa5. For an hour . There is no doubt that the F3 did sound like the stax. With the woo it was a little brighter and less bass and with the krell it was closer to the aragon but not completely. It had more bass than the woo and less soundstage and details. Between the two irs preference . And the aragon I did not try today. . So I guess it can be played with some more tomorrow. . But the F3 does have the most detail hands down. And second is the woo.

hihow was Bass with F3, it should very detailed if sounds like stax...I think that would also mellow down the bass.
Yes it did mellow it but also brighter
Not sure if that was the correct tone
It is deeper with the woo and has the detail as well
But it seems the more powerfull SS amps
Give it even more bass but then the details suffer
With the krell it a almost perfect
But the woo is perfect for me. At least for now
I want to try comes classical with the big drums to see
If the f3 keeps up.
Al
Ooh, maybe PCBs will be openly available soon then. Another First Watt to add to my growing collection
Classical drums are challenging for an amp. Japanese drums are even more challenging! If you like percussion, check out Heartbeat: Kodo 25th Anniversary CD.
How do you go about it? Did you purchase the biggest chassis, built in the power supply etc so you just have to swap out the boards?
Curious to hear your findings after meeting with Craig, Al.
