November 13, 200718 yr Hmm, those do sound interesting. Hopefully, I'll get to try them at some point, though I doubt I'd ever seriously consider them considering I'm trying to save up for a 2-ch setup.
November 13, 200718 yr I only hoped that the manufacturer would have the sense to replace the cable with something with lower capacitance and drop the 5 pin Neutric connector in favor of the Stax one.
November 13, 200718 yr nate looks so delicious i wish i could go to a meet and view him and maybe go get a cup of coffee with him afterwards and stuffs. is he married?

November 13, 200718 yr I can't wait to read Nate's response to this I think I just threw up a little. And yes, I'm married.
November 13, 200718 yr I had the same thoughts when I met Nate too. He's so DIY!* *Dreamy Internet Yutz DAMN!
November 13, 200718 yr I had the same thoughts when I met Nate too. He's so DIY!* *Dreamy Internet Yutz DAMN! haha! I only hoped that the manufacturer would have the sense to replace the cable with something with lower capacitance and drop the 5 pin Neutric connector in favor of the Stax one. You mean the Stax 5 pin?
November 13, 200718 yr You mean the Stax 5 pin? Yup. The other one is easy to find but some idiot might try to run his balanced headphones from the 5 pin jack
November 13, 200718 yr Yup. The other one is easy to find but some idiot might try to run his balanced headphones from the 5 pin jack That seems highly unlikely, doesn't it? No current production dynamic uses a 5 pin jack and the only out-of-production that comes to mind is the K340.
November 13, 200718 yr Yup. The other one is easy to find but some idiot might try to run his balanced headphones from the 5 pin jack damn son, i runned my rs1 balance d from the jack in my SRD-7 with my 840a powerin that shit like loud, damn. i turn up the volpot to the loudest, blew my fool head up on that new shit, it was like OUT RAGEOUS
November 13, 200718 yr That seems highly unlikely, doesn't it? No current production dynamic uses a 5 pin jack and the only out-of-production that comes to mind is the K340. I think that the various semi-vintage phones in the Euro market that used a 4 or 5 pin connector used DIN donnectors rather than XLR ones anyway.
November 13, 200718 yr I know it is unlikely but stupidity knows no bounds. I'd like to try a set of these but I doubt I'd buy one because I know how hard it is to make a good, reliable ESL.
November 13, 200718 yr Was there a SR-404 or other phones from the Lambda series at the meet? And how did they pair up with the Woo GES?
November 13, 200718 yr kinda shocked no one is really talking about those chinese orpheus clones. They looked really decent, and sounded really good. Should be affordable for most people (with an amp too). They sounded pretty good. They had a solid bass that falls in between the HE-90 and HE-60, leaning more towards the 60. I found them to be too bright during some crescendos on some of my reference CD's, spoke to Fang about it and he said the SS amp only had a couple of hours on it. So I took them over to Jack's GES and as BB King would say, "The shrill was gone" I own an upgraded version of Woo's GES and am thinking seriously about buying a pair of the clones (should be available in 2 months). I need to demo them at home in a quiet room before pulling the trigger. Even though Fang is pure vendor at meets, I've had many interactions with him, and he's one of the good guys. Usually gives away a lot of stuff at meets. Got a pair of PK-1's at one meet last year and his cheaper $39 pair of VSONIC VS-R02 (now my daughter's) at a second meet. He's a "Type B" kinda saleman.
November 20, 200718 yr Used car and insurance salesman. Update- I have a borrowed pair of the Chinese clones, and they are definitely worth the money. The build quality is not up to HE-90 standards (although the Orpheus swivel cups seem like an afterthought) but for the money, anyone who enjoys an electrostat should have one of these in their stable. I really can't say anything bad about the HEAUDIO 1.2 's except for some exposed wiring inside that could cause a hair raising experience. So far so good.
November 20, 200718 yr http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=22 This is the link: it's called the Heaudio EH-1.2. Other than that, no information.
November 20, 200718 yr Fang told me that he was going to start a product page on the stats today, so it's in it's infant stage.
November 20, 200718 yr Need more pictures please At that price, I might just get them, since they won't be as hard to drive as the O2s.
November 20, 200718 yr We need pics! These have to be stellar headphones when you can get the SR-007A for 1650$ shipped in January.
November 20, 200718 yr They certainly look nice from Absorbine_Sr's pictures. I'd just be worried about what would happen if they broke, I don't know of many Chinese companies that have great built quality and customer service I understand Fang is a great guy but the Yuin stuff is much cheaper than a $1000+ product.
November 20, 200718 yr So the preorder price is 999.00? I didnt think I would get anymore headphones. But the stand next to my bed is suddenly looking very empty.
November 20, 200718 yr Man...I wish I don't have to spend $825.00 on a car repair right now. :'( Just what you need is another headphone......probably not quite as good as 3-4 of the phones you have now? Its a sickness..
November 20, 200718 yr They are worth it, especially when comparing them to the O2's and used HE-60's for $1800. The repair concern might be a valid one, though. I'll ask Fang from Head-Direct what action would have to be taken.
