So you guys are thinking about a $3000 headphone to amplify with a $750 amp? )
 
I mean sure no problems, but yeah, it'll scale....

 

[daltonlanny]

Wonder how the HE1000 would sound with the Gustard H10?
A $350.00 amp?
I ordered another one just to find out...
Will be doing a head to head between the Gustard H10 and the Beta 22 with the HE1000. Lol.

an example of high-end snobbery right there

good for you

 

[daltonlanny]

Yeah, all joking aside, I actually believe the Gustard H10 will actually sound really good with the HE1000, despite the low price, especially considering how well the Gustard sounds with the HE-500 and HE-560.
Probably not quite as good as with the Beta 22 amp, but we will see

Well the H10 is a clone of a ~$1K amp after all....can't wait for mine to be delivered. 
 
Your replies to my PM definitely made me feel more confident in choosing to buy the H10.

Glad to help a fellow headfier out
Just make sure you give the Gustard a chance and give it a minimum of 70 hours break-in...
Yeah, I really like the Beta 22, but I need more gain than the 2x.
I am thinking about modding the gain to the default 8x.
Can't wait to actually compare it to the Gustard, especially with the HE-1000
And I am not ashamed or embarrassed in the least to team up a $350.00 amp with a $3,000.00 headphone. The Gustard punches way above its price range in sonics, imho.

 

[DreamKing]

Damn, nice! Probably will never buy the H-1000 but I'm for sure interested to see what comes out on top.
 
Looking at the specs real quick I suspect it will be the same as if paired with the HE-560 but the HE-1000 is different in sound signature anyway so I'll be on the lookout for your comparison.

Anybody tried it with the moljnir amp? I am looking at getting this amp for dedicated headphone use.

Don't get the Mjolnir if you know what's good for you!  Blah sound.  Bright sound that is lacking in detail.  Weird.

Interesting, which amp is the H10 a clone of ?

 

[daltonlanny]

Violectric HPA V200, I think?

 

[DreamKing]

^Yeah, V200
 
"This is a Chinese clone of the Violectric V200 with independent power supply per channel and volume control pod soldered directly on the circuit board." 
 
And I saw one mention of someone expressing how the H10, to his ears, is better than the V200.

[AxelCloris]

Interesting, I didn't realize that the Gustard is a clone of the V200. I love Violectric's V181 and I'll be using it to feed the HE1000.

 

[XVampireX]

If I were to get the HE1000 then I wouldn't settle for less than TOTL equipment to drive it.

Good for you!

 

[doctorjazz]

What is TOTL, a $50,000 Krell Speaker Amp? You could make a case for it...
