Anybody tried SMSL A300, a cheap but highly regarded power AMP with HE6SE?

I'll be pulling the trigger any day now. In regards to earpads, I already have a pair of ZMF Eikon hybrids and a pair of Dan Clark Alphas. Does anyone have any experience with either of these pads on this headphone? Thoughts?

Solid leather pads can introduce membrane crinkling when putting headphones on/off or moving around due to pressure change, which might lead to struck to the magnet membrane. Fenestrated leather of hybrids should not be a problem.
I think that's what happened to mine. I was using ZMF leather pads.

Never on my v1 - what a drag and HFM really has to fix it.

Hmm. Well, neither my Eikon pads nor my Alpha pads are perforated. I guess I'll add some Dekoni Elite Hybrid pads to the list, too. The fully fenestrated Dekonis look like they attenuate some of the sub-bass, which, no, gimme all dat bass. The hybrids look to almost imperceptibly alter the sound and are at least fenestrated on the inside, so I guess those are the ones to get.

The stock pads are pretty good too. I am very happy with them.

Anybody tried upgrade cable like Norne, DHC?

I used Norne Draug V3 with HE6Vse2. The improvement was quite well specifically in the bass region. Meatier while tighter and more slam.

I use the Drausk Lite and love it! Listening to Robben Ford's new album with it right now.
