Perun electrostatic headphone impressions

Nice. I got the email that they sent mine two weeks ago today.
I purchased a Woo Wee which is a converter. My amp has 7 watts only but is a big heavy 300B tube amp I got cheap from China of Amazon. It handles my towers just as good as high wattage amps I’ve used. So if it works like I want I should get the 300b tube sound on my Rock for cheap. I’ll post a setup pic tomorrow.
Did anyone else get the same container. I just realized DHL did the damage as there was no box and no labels on the container. This means box gone and DHL put it into their own bag.
I now it happened in shipping. There’s no history of DHL showing customs. The post that Arthur(think Arthur) used didn’t tell a story either. Perun made it easy by removing tape around my plastic container. Container is very useful for storing stuff. Lol

Breaking them on the Woo Wee and Boyuurange A50 mk3. Sound is perfect but the amp has that noise due to tubes. I’d actually like to hear linear tube sound but 300b is one of my favorites. For the total price well worth it.
For right side is louder so using windows to even out the Rock.
Set of drivers in the amp I removed they caused hum and put in my 7n7.

So just like my first Rock with the quad drivers this one needs a break in period to get the drivers moving. Possibly they are very tight and sound off. It took a number of hours with a rest in the middle. First day listened and was like okay not what I remembered(2 hours). The 2nd day I let them sit and charge for 45 minutes no music. I followed up with music and just let them play while I watched Cobra Kai. After some hours I put them on and the awesomeness was back. I skipped the 3rd day and today after 15 minutes of warm up they are perfect.
I adjusted the fit of the metal bands to get a comfortable tightness around my face. If the fit is too loose, bass and lower midrange warmth will suffer.
Now using the Woo Audio WEE while not perfect allows me to listen to different types of speaker amps from tubes to solid states.

Has the aforementioned channel imbalance been solved following your 'break in' period?
No not yet. Also need to see that it's not the wee

You need 'classic' electrostatic amp, converters are highly 'not recommended' at all. I used Stax T1W with my pair and all was perfect with balance and volume knob was at 13:00 o'clock max. As I can figure - Perun headphones are very sencentive to bias voltage regarding to their large membranes size. 580v (600v max) and not any more. If bias is higher (like at most D.I.Y. amps etc.) than you will recieve artefacts (distortions, pops, imbalances etc.). And most of all: 580v-600v bias and lower will not touch Perun sensitivity and feedback - they are very easy to drive. For now I'm using KGST D.I.Y. amp and my volume knob at 11:00 o'clock max.
Yeah I wish for BHSE which I use to own one. I need to see how much I can put into this estat as it’s my only one and the only one I like. Every other estat was just boring in the low end. Stax amp had same channel imbalance and I’ve grown use to this to the imbalance. It could be a million factors but important enough to find when I just lower the volume on my right driver and all sounds normal.

Congrats! I owned KGBH too. Now at KGST and with x9000 and Perun it is enough (yet?) for me ).
Famous last words
The Rock is like listening to planar bass with estat mids and highs. The 009 was fun for 10 minutes and 007 was good for a week. Perun figured out the bass issue then might be time other over experienced companies get onboard. With the Wee no pops or sounds I only need attenuator off the amp. I get 8 on volume and that's safe hearing volume.
Have you heard the X9k? how would you compare them? (regardless of price, just tonality etc)
