Tari Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Christ. Now I don't know whether to get grey, black, or silver. Silver would match your NAD: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Sweet pic. But I think gray would, too, in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave R Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'd rather hear about the virtues of $10,000 Esoteric CD players. The Esoteric K-01 which is the source I have, has the three things I look for in audio equipment, Sound quality, Build quality and Looks, but in the UK it's £15,000. Is it worth that amount of money ?, IMO No. Yes it does sound pretty amazing but if I was able to buy it directly from Teac, I bet it would be around £8000 to maybe £9000, but to my knowledge it can't. This is one of the reasons why I've got and I'm getting my headphone amps from Headamp because they're got directly from Justin. If the BHSE was only available the same way the K-01 is, then I'm guessing it would be $10,000 to $11,000 maybe more. P.S. I paid £10,000 for my K-01, but I used my previous headphone system as part exchange, to which the headphones were SR-007mk1's. It didn't bother me letting those headphones go because the amp I had to drive them was the SRM-007t and I wasn't impressed with that combo. I've since heard someone else's SR-007mk1 with my BHSE and I'm regretting letting the SR-007mk1's go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyll Hertsens Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Merry Christmas, Dinny. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/listening-great-headphone-amplifiers-and-stax-sr-900 I think you're getting the right amp. Thanks Stretch! Your amp is fucking sick. If I had one of these amps and an 009 I wouldn't get any work done listening to other stuff.

Tari Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Great read Tyll. I agree wholeheartedly with regards to the BHSE. It would be interesting to throw the Electra in the mix as well whenever it actually comes out. Edited December 26, 2012 by Tari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyll Hertsens Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I was kind of easy on the amps. But I think I got the main ideas across. And Justin (and Kevin), that BHSE is bad ass. The control over the drivers was a pretty damned obvious after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb233 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey Tyll, I am not sure, but I wanted to call to your attention something that I noticed in your video. You made reference to the T2 and stated that it was designed by KG. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that the T2 was reverse-engineered from the Stax SRM-T2 (You probably know better than I). If so, I wanted to point this out in case it warranted a correction. Should it be referred to as the T2 DIY? Maybe it doesn't even matter?? Anyway, now that I've done my part to be "helpful," Thanks very much for the review. I really appreciate your perspective window into the sound of these stat amps. Thanks again.

livewire Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) It is known as the DIY T2. And it is reverse-engineered from the SRM-T2 by KG. There are many improvements to make it better than the original. @Tyll - two thumbzup on yer review!

spritzer Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 The T2DIY is indeed 100% a Stax design on the amp side. Our version is miles better in terms of noise, stability and is actually run at full power (not 50% as Stax did) but the design is 100% theirs. What's in the PSU box is all Kevin's work.

Hopstretch Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks Stretch! Your amp is fucking sick.Woooooot! Thanks for the pictures. I'd never seen it before.

Tyll Hertsens Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 You're most welcome. I love the way it's aluminum luster glows. Getting tucked away in its cozy box. Lemme know when and where to send it when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
