I'm trying to find an amp to drive either or both the HE60 (stax plug) and Omega II. I'd like to stay under $1500 new or used but I'd also just like to know what's out there regardless of price.

The only amps I know of so far are:

Woo Audio GES

Singlepower ES-1

Arteaus

Blue Hawaii


What have I overlooked?

 

[xxlMusikfreak]

- KGSS
- the complete Stax lineup of amps
- HEV90/70

KGSS
Mc Allister EA-1
Stax 717 or 007tII

"Some" electrostatic amplifiers.

Which I believe can all drive Stax Pro bias and Sennheiser electrostatic headphones.

1. SRM-007tII
2. SRM-727II
3. SRM-006tII
4. SRM-323II
5. SRM-252II
6. SRM-310
7. SRM-007t
8. SRM-717
9. SRM-006t
10. SRM-313

13. SRM-T1S
14. SRM-T1
15. SRM-T1W
16. SRM-1/MK2
17. SRM-1 Pro
18. SRA-14S

Other vendors:

1. Singlepower ES-1
2. HeadAmp Blue Hawaii Special Edition (coming soon-ish)
3. HeadAmp Aristaeus
4. HeadAmp Blue Hawaii
5. HeadAmp KGSS
6. Rudistor Egmont Signature HE90

There are also dozens of DIY amps out there that you can build or have built for you. They range from pretty crappy to very good but most of the information on them is in Japanese though the schematics are universal.

What amps do you mean and where can you have amps built? Is there a place where you can have an Auridux built for example?

"If"? Are you saying there's a possibility?

There a lot of designs out there but I never bookmark them, just rip the pages to my hard drive, so I can't give you any links. A Google search will give you a few designs.

There is always some one experienced that can build an amp for you but I don't know of anybody off hand. The Auridux is an ok design with good tubes but you can certainly do much better. It could be a fun project some day...
