I only played it a couple of days ago .

... which is just as well because it looks like you've been raiding my collection again while I wasn't looking .

But do you have the Piano Man ? I've only played this LP once.

The Good, the Bad, or the Ugly .

Yes.

We live in our mom's basement, get free food from her fridge, and drive around in her 30 year old Chevy...

You too? I thought that was just me.

I'm a professional golfer and I pay my caddy (Bcowen) $1.25 an hour. That helps me stay in this hobby which is so very exciting. Sense of hearing and hearing good stuff is the best aphrodisiac.

Please don't refer to me and use the word aphrodisiac in the same post. It looks weird.

Finally I get to test Odyssey with He6se V2. Yup I bought this headphone off someone who took care of it by wrapping a plastic on the headband. He threw in a silver cable and the headphone is as good as new. One year old.

So what the verdict? Three questions needs answering.
1) Can Odyssey drive this power hungry headphone? You bet. Belt it like a kid. He6se needs a powerful tube amp to give it the body tone and make it analogue sounding. Odyssey has a lot more headroom driving He6se. I'm only at half max power and it hits the crescendo. Anymore and the planar drivers will fly out.
2) How does He6se sound? Ummm my kind of tone. Treble clear, dynamic, agile and tight punchy kind of bass. Odyssey is the right amp to drive it. I like it !
3) Can Oblivion drive it? You bet ! Volume at 2pm and it's loud. Any louder and you have to see a ear specialist. He6se sound great out of Oblivion. @TheMiddleSky is correct. Oblivion will drive Susvara.

That's all for now folks. Got to go for dinner !

We seem to have similar likes in headphones and soon amps. I really like the level of detail.

Open it up, and use some perforated leather pad. You will lose a tad detail but get better staging according to my ear.

Glad to hear Odyssey can drive it well!

Hello is that Odyssey a Single Ended Triode ?

Yes. A SET transformer coupled amp.

NO.. I wondered what happened to it .

 

[NickT23]

I prefer my amp to be transparent, fast and detailed while keeping the holographic soundstage. Not slow and goey "tube sound".

Hi yes same here. A much more reference sound while giving that tube ephony, that warm engaging sound, add that realism energy there as well.

It's madness. I was thinking of Odyssey driving He6se all through dinner last night. This morning when I woke up the first thing I wanted to do is to relive that experience again. I had heard the He6se before with other amps but never with such energy and realism. There are no sharp rugged edginess here. It's a smooth polished performance with fast transients, details and concert hall realism.

As dawn breaks, I listen to a live version of Private Investigations. Another day in the life of UntilThen begins. He6se is certainly the best value for money headphone at $850 aussie dollars with free silver cable, burned in and plastic headband wrap thrown in.

Get this. It's one of the best recorded LP's in my collection, and better even than many "audiophile" pressings I have.

You save twice this much every week on what my salary should be, so no whining about the cost.

That album is 2/3 the price of this He6se V2. !!!

Showing off the new toy. Eva Cassidy 'Somewhere over the rainbow' sound really good !
