All is fair in love and war (and marketing). As long as the figures are true, it's the buyers' responsibility to 'read between the lines' and do the necessary research/due diligence. Caveat Emptor as they say (they also say 'there's one born every minute' and 'a fool and his money are soon...

How does it compare to your WA6? Considering one or the other for my HE1000SE

I bought an 8-core 7N copper from AliE for about £18. Really only to have something lighter and more flexible for mobile use. POSSIBLY slightly less bright but very little difference to my old ears

I have specifically asked HiFiMan and they have refused to elaborate on their cable construction.

Just watched a review on the XD-05 Pro and I am going to make a prediction... The lettering on the amp that reads AKM is exactly the same as the lettering I can see on the image shown on the attached link for the TA-32 that reads ESS I predict that the TA-32 will have swappable DAC cards. How...

Does anyone use the Woo Audio WA6 (single box) with their HEKSE?

The indicator light will show you if it's good enough.

Made me laugh. That's exactly what I thought about the Elite, despite the hype. But yes, very comfortable. I'm currently using the Mojo 2 with my HE1000SE and with just a couple of dB taken off the upper mids (using the Mojo 2's lossless EQ) and with the slightly warmer nature of the Mojo 2...

@fdg Can anyone confirm if the V222 is a Class-A amplifier please?

I'm going to leave everyone to fight over this amongst themselves. I simply said that personally I'm put off by the fact that many people need to have special platforms, cables and fans to run their S17s. I don't defend any other amps because I haven't chosen one yet. My understanding is that...

That's good to hear, but I think the Arya Stealth and HE1000SE sound quite different to each other on different amps so it might not be a good indication. (going by various reviews if memory serves my right) Burson Soloist 3XP is less than double the price of the Aune though and has no fan...

Addressing your three comments in order: 1. That's not what you originally said...you said "I find that the Mojo 2 works better between 2 and 3 V. Above 3V it starts clipping" Now you are happily quoting that it clips above 4.3V? I'm pleased to see you've realised you were incorrect. 2...
