November 14, 200718 yr The HE90 is one of the best, if not the best, headphone I've heard. I'm currently using a Stax plug adapter to connect it to a HeadAmp KGSS.
November 14, 200718 yr I have to admit. they are as close to perfection in a headphone as I have heard. they are magic with the matching HEV90 amp and I think slightly better with the ES-1. IMO better than anything out there....stat or dynamic.
November 14, 200718 yr what's with all these random threads lately? in any case... hella yea. the only headphone that can make me cry and get into the music as if it were live.
November 14, 200718 yr i never cried because of music. yet, if an he90 made me cry, i'd wanna go on prozac (no offense).

November 14, 200718 yr i know he probably didn't cry over the music... i was just being funny I guess (but the idea is a bit disturbing). Maybe if something special happened, like the yankees disbanded, and infinite 0 calorie snickers.
November 14, 200718 yr The HE90 is one of the best, if not the best, headphone I've heard. I'm currently using a Stax plug adapter to connect it to a HeadAmp KGSS. I feel the same way. What's SN on your HE90? Mine is SN #129. What do you think of the HE-90 vs. O2 vs. R10? When will your Supra XLR arrives? I have to admit. they are as close to perfection in a headphone as I have heard. they are magic with the matching HEV90 amp and I think slightly better with the ES-1. IMO better than anything out there....stat or dynamic. Yes, Tom. They are indeed come very close to perfection. Although the R10 might have better midrange and bigger soundstage, but on everything else the HE90 wins.
November 14, 200718 yr His is from the Jan Meier buys. Does anybody know how many phones there really were in the Jan Meier sale? I think there were at least 20.
November 14, 200718 yr I forgot what the price was during the Jan Meier group buy. Anyone know? I believe it was 5 or 6K.
November 14, 200718 yr Haha whoa, big disparity there. Sorry I am not sure either. I thought that I read some where that it was around 6K.
November 14, 200718 yr Ooh, I think I found the answer. No.. they are $6.5k-$8k, the last nice pair sold for $7.9k NOS (which is what I have) a few months ago. You'd be hard pressed (well, I was anyways) to find one for $5k nowadays, even if from the Jan Meier batch where all 18 were accounted for in one day last summer for $5500 to Americans (~$6500 to Europeans) shipped. The $7.9k NOS one was one of these 18, just that it was never opened for a year. So there were 18.
November 14, 200718 yr It was around 5.5k$ but the wait was priceless. I didn't get mine till January 2006...
November 14, 200718 yr US pricing for the Meier group buy was $5K. Given current pricing, I should have bought a spare or two...
November 14, 200718 yr Yeah the meier group buy price was $5k, the current going rate is about $7k+ though.
November 14, 200718 yr US pricing for the Meier group buy was $5K. Given current pricing, I should have bought a spare or two... I believe Akwok sold his for more than 8.5K. Recently, there was the Orpheus System on audiogon sold for 25k. That is crazy. Given the going rate of the R10 are b/w 4.5k to 6k, that isn't a bad price for the HE90.

Given the going rate of the R10 are b/w 4.5k to 6k, that isn't a bad price for the HE90. Somebody paid 25k$ for that!!! I've been offered way more then 8k$ for mine but I passed.
November 14, 200718 yr http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?accstwek&1197669094 Yes....it has been sold. I contacted the seller just to see how much he actually want, but he told me that I need to offer more than 25K for the combo b/c he had a deal pending for the Orpheus system then.
November 14, 200718 yr I sold mine for 8k (bought them used for 6.7) and there were around 3 buyers willing to pay that much. Diminishing returns and all that, but I do think they're worth it. Obviously not perfect, but just really really good.
