Any short comments from the above 2 members about the EF6 amp for the HE6? Thanks in advance.
Also, since the new HE1000 was announced as sort of a surprise, I wonder if Hifiman would be kind enough to consider a trade-up to the HE1000 of a HE560 (to an owner who bought them new from Hifiman or an authorized dealer).
(Or perhaps for an HE6 purchaser within the last year too.)
These customers may have waited for the HE1000 if they knew it was in development.
HE6 doesn't run off headphone amps. It needs speaker amps or else it simply sounds off with woolly bass and sibilance.
I have many friends with strong necks and the HE6 and they all are using speaker amps to drive them. I have never heard the EF6 but I have read comments that it works though not up to the quality of a good speaker amp. I think you are dreaming about an upgrade program. That would be financially difficult for Hifiman as they would probably be hit with hundreds of requests. Then there is the issue of what to do with the trades. Yes, they could possibly sell them off but that is not really their business model.

Dunno why they matched HE1000 up against a 'stat only, of course everyone is going to say that the planar magnetic bass is more weighty than an electrostatic bass, because that has always been that.
don't get this thinking. why not compare it to a totl electrostatic or dynamic can? they're all fair game imo.
+1
I understand both points of view, but at this level I think there must be a comparison with various TOTL technologies. It looks like a show-down is brewing between them, and it looks like an interesting year ahead.
Indeed. The HD800 is showing as `discontinued` on amazon . . .
