Yeah I have heard silver in certain settings sound great, Just not with the HE-6 which I find a little sharp along with all the good things.

As always listen for yourself.

I have the 4 screw and with them, the Whiplash cable works great. Sadly, they haven't been made for quite some time now (either the phones or the cable).

Anyone have a pair of early 4-screw HE-6s properly amped and tried the Susvaras through the same setup? I am not that interested in upgrading but curious hearing from anyone who has experience with both. To this day, the HE-6s, paired with the discontinued Liquid Gold, remain my favorite all-around headphones.

I will counter you and ask how your LCD-3s sound off the LAu? Are yours the non-fazor/Classic version? I've been wanting a pair of those for years, and you've even for the same amp as me and a pair of 4-screw HE-6s~

As for your question, I haven't found anything better yet, but the ones I've got my eye on are the Abyss TCs and I hope to land a pair in the next few months.

They are the non-fazor version. The amp works well with them, but the LAu was designed for the HE-6. It's not even clear whether to use the LCD-3s in low or high gain. It seems to depend somewhat. Probably low gain for most music.

I’ve heard them both on Ragnarok 2 and McIntosh MHA 150 (speaker taps)

They sound really similar, the Susvara sound a hint more organic/natural with bigger stage. Bass is better on the HE6 in every way.

For the last month month I've been using the new Elekit TU-8900 tube amp to drive my HE6. Definitely the best I've heard them sound in the last 6-7 years.

The TU-8900 can use either 300b or 2A3 tubes both options provide a superb listening experience with the HE6.

Wow. Definitely need to get an HE6 4/6screw Unfortunately, not many are willing to sell these

I have this setup. It's very nice.

Anyone tried to do stealth magnet mod on the HE6 yet?

Yeah, some call it the Susvara.

More seriously, be my guest and try to dismantle the HE-6 diaphragm from its magnet array and attempt to place it in the Sus magnet array. I doubt that the HE400se uses the same magnets in its array as the Sus.

If I can do that, I can as well start my own audio hp company.

Thanks. I really appreciate that it does have good bass, but it doesn't sound muffled. It's perfectly controlled/tight to my ears. When I want real beefiness, I switch to the LCD-3s.

It's hard to find a way or reason to upgrade, and that's a good thing. Maybe I'll look for a new source, but listening life is good.

This is still available, looks brand new still have CE stickers, and the box look flawless, so should have been stored in great condition

Could probably re-sell it for profit even, would have bought it, but my wallet is scraped
