Interesting amp, keep the reviews/impressions coming.
Anyone care to open one up and post a picture?

Hi,
What picture do you want? Maybe I can take some.
Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that.
I'll repost the picture here:

Nice.
Looks like the oil tanks at Hemel Hempstead and a genetically engineered mega giant roach (did it fight godzilla?) with too many legs for comfort...
Whooptydoo. But what does it all mean Basil?
Cheerio Rich
Actually I preferred the LED light in white colour

The volume knob is right around 6.5 to 7 on a scale from 1-10. Using sound shaping and bass switches has more effect than on any can's yet...the differences, as one might expect, are simply more there on Cans so discerning as the HE-6's. The presentation is one of, all the music. The presentation is one of a whole but wherein every element of the tapestry can be seen in all of its color.
Anyway, I just meant to be breaking them in and copping a listen. Frankly, I didn't expect to write anything until I hooked the HE-6 up to the EF-6. In any event, unless you are one who needs merciless volume, I can't imagine you'd need more juice. Are there other amps more suited to drive the HE-6, without a doubt...several of which we carry at StereoDesk, but that the iCan can do it and leave you not feeling short changed, or anything but grinning says a lot about their design and engineering. There you have it...$250 for an amp that moves air on planars. Who'd a thunk it. Even as I turn the volume knob to 9, things don't get ugly, rather just more volume.
