I think that's the key - no need to void the warranty, just stick something over it. Since it's recessed you could probably get something to fit the hole with some careful cutting.

good old blu-tac is the key to covering many an over-bright LED in my setup =)

Was this idea scrapped?

Yes.... it was scrapped... there was a reason, but can't remember... I think it was a matter of not enought room to do it.

Don't worry. When a 6.3mm headphone plug is inserted into the jack on the left, the volume knob won't look like it sticks out at all.

It was replaced with a shorter volume knob. Pretty much the same final effect.

Send him an email. I emailed Jan after waiting two weeks to let him know my amp still hasn't arrived, only to be told he forgot to post it.....

Thank you Dr. Meier. I received the HeadFive today and it is great.

I am using it to monitor tracking sessions from the DAC out of my RME Fireface converter and it is sooooo much clearer than the headphone-out of the Fireface. I can now clearly hear what's going on as I track sessions.

Thanks for a great product and a great price.

Peace

Just returned to Head-Fi after a two year hiatus. And, as before, I'm sorry for my wallet.....

Saw the HeadFive offer last Friday.....ordered and paid up with Jan.

Serial #211 received today. 5 total days from order to delivery in DFW, Texas.

Lovin it already.

Thank you Jan for the awesome offer!

that was my intention, unfortunately after 3 weeks+ i still havent gotten it..
rang up my the post office and no sign of it there, customs was no help either.
i think this is my only gripe about getting stuff sent without online tracking. i sincerely hope it was sent insured..

Sounds good to me (did not like it initially). However I feel that my Creek is still a better match for the MS-2: less emphasis on the bass and in a way sounds more euphonic. It's not that big a difference though and fact remains the H5 will work well with the MS-2.

Cheers!

havent received the amp.. sigh what an agonizing wait

the good news is Dr Jan is sending me a replacement unit!

have asked him to send it with online tracking if possible, if not, at least insured. if i do receive the first unit i ordered initially, i'll send it back to him for sure.
