And while we're talking 6sn7, you can use these too with adapters.

You forgot the ECC40

Then I pick up a quad of 6sn7, the GE specially for @bcowen , the rest are Japanese 6sn7, Triad, Rad-Tel, etc, very colourful names.

How be those Japanese 6SN7? I stumble across the odd Hitachi/Toshiba/Matsushita every so often. No body ever mentions those brands so I have no idea if they're worth a looksee.

Seriously, how cool. Can't wait to hear your impressions. I've never had any Hifimans...yet. Couldn't resist Drop's last, um, drop on the HE-4XX's though, and they just shipped yesterday. Yeah, yeah...totally opposite end of the Hifiman spectrum. And not even closed like I want need. But $120? How could I not?

That's the spirit! Stimulate the economy!
BUT - maybe you shoulda bought this instead: https://www.adorama.com/hmhe560v4.html?emailprice=t. Most folks say the 560 is better. Or, just gone all out on these: https://audio46.com/products/focal-utopia-tournaire-gold-diamond-audiophile-headphones-special-order

Never think of Australia as down under again. We're right on top. You are looking at the map upside down.

I've just always wondered if Australia is east of the US, or west. I started swimming there once, but halfway there I got too tired so turned around and came back.

I wasn't actually considering sound quality. Just the $120. I needed to show my wife how much money I'd saved because they were on sale.

Now *that* is hilarious. But just to be my usual helpful self, I did enter my email address so they can let me know when they go on sale. With a 99% discount, I'm all in!

ECC40 is

From memory those Jap 6sn7 sounded leaner and a touch brighter. Good airy, clear tone though.

I have a HE560 v1 here and I don't think it's anyway near compared to the he1000se. Hekse is even better than the Arya but I'll do a a/b of that tomorrow when I get my son's Arya over. The Utopia is a bit rich with those diamonds. More for the Sultans of swing.

Try this instead. You'll get here faster.

It's meaningless to me too. Post count and likes / post ratio is of least concern to me. I'm just enjoying my hekse so much now.

Mine is in the shop. Can I borrow yours?

You can rent mine but you need to be able to fly a drone. It's similar techniques.

Why? It's not like *I'm* going to fly it. That's a task for underlings. I'm gonna sit in first class and drink. Yours does have the fully reclining Italian leather seats, right? I have a bad habit of making assumptions.

If you want the lambskins leather seats with full recliner and massage plus cocktails and a personal flight stewardess, it will be just for an extra small fee. For pilot, you'll get a WW2 veteran fighter pilot, very experience but because of age, can't see very well but the feel is there.

Oh backup parachutes provided.

On 2nd thoughts I do care about the posts. I need to beat bcowen month score before the year is out. It's a huge bet that I cannot afford to lose !!! After EOY, I don't care hehe because a million bucks is coming into my coffer.

Are you modding it?

Hell no. Didn't cross my mind that he will mod it. Sends shivers down my spine. That's a super sonic jet.

In 5 years of Head-Fi, I took thousands of photos of everything including the NAD dac and Denon TT my wife bought for me. If I release them, my posts will exceed wuwhere but I won't. Just saying.

Dammit I'm listening to ABBA Greatest Hits thanks to bcowen.

Besides a palindrome band name I can't think of much else worth remembering about ABBA. However, I think their music may sound best on NOS GE tubes.
