Phew...
I've set my rig up over this weekend and I am listening to my dear headphones after nearly a month.
Dont let that lead you to understand that these comments are "sudden" observations that have been made without due diligence. I have been using the Omega-II and HE-60 for several months now and they have both grown on me in their own way.
I will not part with either of them if I can help it (and I can
). I just want to make it clear that those of you with the Omega-IIs can sit back and relax a little because I have come to the conclusion that it is the more desirable of the two electrostats. While the HE-60 has it's own separate CD stack...music that just sounds unbelievable with this headphone...the Omega-II's stack overlaps with the Sa5000 and HE60.
In other words...if I had to reach for one headphone out of these three...it will be the Omega-II simply because it is the best of both worlds...I simply believe it has a superior transducer and response. The HE60 is easier to use and less finicky of amplification.
So you O2 users who are lusting for the HE60 or even the HE90 - relax and dont worry if you cant find that dream headphone just yet. Juice up the O2 with a KGSS and let it weave it's magic on you...
The flaws of the SA5000 are becoming more obvious over time...
