Hifiman HE1000-SE
I know nothing else about this, but it sure is interesting :) Looks like it uses the same headband, darker wood, and "Stealth Magnet" system as the Susvara. Perhaps all it lacks is the gold coating on the diaphragm?- ufospls2

Wells Audio Milo - Impressions And Discussion Thread
Hey All, Wells Audio started production on their "Milo" amp today ($1699 USD.) It is a fantastic looking amp in my opinion.

Resonessence Labs Concero HD Acting Up?
Hi All, I am having a bit of trouble with my Concero HD. It only does this about half of the time. When I play a bass heavy track (Caribou - All I ever need, for example) the bass distorts. The lower the sound, the more distortion there is. If I jiggle the back of the Concero, most of the...- ufospls2
