Just got one of these in white for my home desktop setup and moved my Focal XS 2.1 for my office setup. Very pleasant and articulated from mids on up. There's a slight warmth in the mids and highs are detailed without being bright. Obviously there is nothing much at the bottom end. If you're...

Nevermind. I just saw that the brochure has completely different dimensions. Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

Pretty much the same. Those lengths in mm equates to 6.7"x3.9"x8.9". Off by a few mm's. I would assume the mm lengths are more accurate and the inches were just rounded up since it's a German company. Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

Enough juice to drive the HE-500's dynamically with classical?  Some of the reviews seem to suggest otherwise, like the one on InnerFidelity.     Quote:    

That's good to know.  The TH900 is something I'm very interested in as an alternative to my HE-500.

Curious here too.  Wondering if I should wait it out for the V220 or just go ahead and get a V200.

Either a lint roller or some packing tape should pull dust and hair right off. Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

This seems to be the consensus. Many express that this combo is a match made in heaven. Thanks for confirming. Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

I understand where you're coming from. When people describe "tube like" I always understand it as warm but I agree that it's not really an appropriate term especially with modern tube amps. Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

Interesting. Some of the reviews I've read make them sound to be more similar than different with both offering a "tube like analog" sound signature. My assumption has always been that the V200 was the darker of the two but didn't think the differencea would be as much as you describe. Sent...

Oh boy... dilemma. Wait for the new V220 or get a V200? Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

Anyone compare the V200 to the Graham Slee Ultra Linear? Having a tough time deciding between the two to drive HE-500's using a Mytek 192 DSD DAC and Mac Mini as the source. Sent from my SHV-E300S using Tapatalk

Anyone compare the GS Ultra Linear to the Violectric V200? Both are similarly priced and review descriptions are more or less similar betweeen these two amps than different. I'm looking to buy one or the other to drive HE-500's using a Mytek 192 DSD DAC and MacMini as the source. Sent from my...

My HE-500's arrived today along with a Mytek 192 DSD DAC and some Oyaide firewire and USB cables.  The Mytek is one of a handful of DACs that can accept a firewire connection.  Source is a 2010 Mac Mini with Audirvana Plus.   Even with both the HE-500's and Mytek, cold out of the box, the...

Speaking of the Violectric, anyone try the HE-500 with both the Violectric V200 versus the Graham Slee Ultra Linear Diamond?  Which did you prefer and why?   I'm looking at these two particular head amps because both are reportedly on the lush and romantic side of neutral.
