Ah the underused ''you're a troll'' accusation - because, of course, if you can't refute what the other person is saying, or claiming, it may be best to say that they aren't be serious at all. It's a very head pleasing thing to do I guess - similar to - ''you're just a hater maaan''.
 
Fabulous. You've solved the puzzle. Derp.
 
I wonder when this will die out. I thought only teenagers said it.
 
Moving forward, just so you know, I'm being serious and I'm glad to be part of this thread.

I'm blushing!

For ****'s sake, please--let's not go through this again, guys.
 
Back. On. Topic.
 
(We'll be posting the second of two CanJam Preview videos today, and the HE-1000 is one of the things discussed. See? Back on topic.)

Cant wait  Jude. I am looking forward to the video and seeing you at CanJam. The HE1000 is a special headphone. Cannot wait to hear the production model.

allnic audio hpa5000 amp and allnic audio d5000 dac.  if the ef-1000 amp ends up not being to my liking, I think this would be it. less versatility and simpler design. I prefer se amps. and allnic audio stuff is very nice. I have never heard neither but I d'ont need to. I know it's world class sound. allnic audio has two amps. hpa 3000 and hpa5000. this one the hpa5000 is the candidate for he1000.

ARGHHHHHHHH! Jude man! Now I must have Yggy and Rag and HE1000, its not fair, its just not fair!

​Great, looking forward to reading about this comparison specifically. I'll postpone my purchase of Abyss till Christmas time, that should give enough time for some head-to-head comparisons. Already reserved a LAu which I should get around nov. Question is, whether I pair it with Abyss as planned, or HE1K

I'm hoping to have an Abyss in my possession early next week to go with my LAu. I'll let you know if its worth it. I'm expecting good things.

So... Has anyone actually pre-order them...?

Noooooooooo! not me.  Could people be staying away in droves?

 

[mulder01]

I suppose if there's no benefit to pre ordering them, why would you?  There's no ETA and no discount or other bonuses for ordering early.  May as well at least wait for a release date...

Have pre-ordered mine from Addicted to Audio

​Great, look forward to your thoughts.

Did they give you an ETA?

 

[isquirrel]

  Did they give you an ETA?

Estimated in the next 2-3 months, jumped in because the 1st batch were all being taken up with pre-orders. I don't see it as an Abyss replacement, I see it as a LCD-*** replacement and if it does that it will compliment the Abyss nicely.

btw kinda off-topic, but seems like mr. speaker's is releasing an open planar magnetic at $1.5k. for people generally interested in planars
