To be fair learning about power for the he6 has been a journey for the community. but by the time the ef6 came out we did know you needed speaker amps.
Schiit rag handles the he6 quite well. I would say its pretty expensive but tbh comparing it to the ef6, I'd pretty easily recommend the extra cost.
Sarcasm, my friend. That redditor is deaf or dumb.
Best setup I've heard it's mine especially with my new preamp. 2nd best is with an EAR 834 integrated.
Basically there are a lot of "best" possible setups but they require a lot of money. Also must remember that preamps play a large role in how good a system is too. That's something that it's usually completely overlooked.
Meant the uhhhh wut for the ef6. It didn't like it even with the he500s.
Someone also said the Burson soloist is a great match for the he6. Tbh theres a lot of claims of headphone amps driving the he6 to their "full potential " that leave me scratching my head.

Shirtless selfie man needs to obtain a pair of monoblocks that each weigh what he can curl. As your listening strength and glistening muscular strength improve, so too must your amps. It will be a neverending journey. Train well my friend.
I finally recieved the HE6s. I open the box to find that no cable, adapter, bag, or clips for the second set of earpads. The guy's wife screwed up sending these hardcore.... $1000 and i cant even use them. I'm pissed!
I am pretty sure you will need the resistors if using a tube amp but dont with solid state. I think its something to do with the impedence and load the tubes see. I know the Hifiman adapter uses them. You might try googling some images and seeing if you can match the colour codes on the resistors to get the same values Hifiman use in their adapter..

I also don't know what value resistors you need, but yes, you absolutely need them for a tube amp. It's the output transformers that can get cooked if you don't. If the tube amp is output transformerless (OTL) i was just reading that it works, but that it still might not be OK for the amp.
Solid state amps though, yeah, direct to taps, it's all good.
None of them. Have you even read any of this thread? Go back 5 or 10 pages and you'll see several options mentioned. Please never ask "what is best" because there will never be an answer and frankly it's a bit insulting that you didn't even take the time to do your research. You appear to be young and hip to the ways of the internet; you should know this by now.
Here's my gift to you: Bryston 2B. Get one cheap off ebay and call it a day.
You may have thought I was joking with my previous reply, but really I wasn't.
Amongst those listed, the liquid carbon is the best for the HE-6. It drives the HE-6 well as a headphone amp. However, any decent speaker amp trumps it, so you're better off getting a speaker amp. The HE-6 still sounds better than most headphones even out of the Liquid Carbon but with speaker amps it's a different ball game. As suggested to you above, please go through the thread in detail and you'll find tons of recommendations for amps.
Holy schiit, you got one of those original Bent Audio TAPX pre-amps?? The Transformer Volume Control ones~~ I've been wanting one of them for years :'-(
So what you're telling me is they ARE as good as every single thing I've ever read about them has said? Oh nos... my audio induced grave is looking deeper day by day...
Production history:
Bent Audio - TAPX
Music First Audio - TAP
Intact Audio - Slagleformer (AVC - Autoformer Volume Control)
So this Tribute AVC, is it a take on the Intact Audio Slagleformer? But you're saying they don't compare at all to the original TAPX? And have you ever heard one of the MFA TAPs? They're supposed to be a refined version of Bent Audio's original TAPX design, when MFA starting licensing Bent's idea and Bent used MFA's specially made S&B transformers for the autoformers.
