Hi Folks, This thread is getting on in years but just thought I would resurrect it as I've recently acquired an SH after much deliberation between a LOT of different amps such as the Auris Euterpe and the HA-2SF, the Feliks Elise MK2, a few different Cayins (1A MK2 and HA6) and a few others. I...

Sorry for the late response - its been pretty crazy for a while... I would have loved to have been able to keep the HD6XXs as I love their sound out of the amp I've got. It's actually not all that far off the FA-011s but definitely a flatter and more reference tuning. I've never really...

I went ahead and sold my HD6XXs and got the last available pair of FA-011s...ahhh sweet bass, lush mids and the soundstage...very happy camper :)

A bit of a shame really as they were about twice as expensive, let alone the 10th anniversary editions...I just had a look at Noisy Motel here in Australia and they still have them in stock. Am actually tempted again...

I never got to listen to the LE's. How did they compare to the originals?

I haven't been on head-fi for a while and this thread has been dead for a while but just had to say I really miss my FA-011's...am having a really nice session with my HD6XXs but am sorry I sold the Fischers...they just get under your skin despite other headphones being 'better'...

Thank you so much for your detailed and insightful comments. Probably the tipping point I've needed to get a pair. I've wanted to try a pair since they came out as the majority of reviews and comments align with my sound preferences as do most ZMF headphones. Looking at your list of gear, you...

Very late reply but haven't been here in quite a while...did you end up trying the Fidelio X2s with the SA-31. I'm thinking about getting some second hand ones... although possibly not necessary as I have some HD6XXs on their way...

Noisy Motel here in Australia still have the latest/last edition in stock. This is the version I have and is apparently the closest on sound to your original. Lighter wood though...and yours aren't likely to explode just yet :joy:

So we are in the same boat it would seem... I've been thinking about upgrading mine to an x2 but it sounds like a bad idea. I'm going to wait for the new 10th anniversary edition to come out and I might get that. Have also been very tempted by the Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 purple heart. As far as...

Thanks folks, all of the above has just reinforced how happy am with this amp. It should pair up quite well and drive almost anything I am likely to own in the next several years, perhaps even the HE-6 with borrego's mod. Amazing purchase for AUD250. I have read that it has a real synergy with...

Oops, fine,not hope...:disappointed:

Hear hear... I'm thinking about upgrading my headphones (of course) and an going to hang on to the SA-31 as I think it should drive just about anything well... I've started doing a bit of research on the HE-6 and just read your review on it from a few years ago. How do you think the SA-31 would...

I don't have either of those two amps but I am a big believer in consolidating the number of boxes I have.

Another curveball- I'm thinking of trying to obtain HE-6s as I have an amp I believe will do them justice... Had anyone tried pairing their with an Audio-gd SA-31? It has low and high gain and puts out 10w into 50 ohms. It also has jumper settings for neutral and more warmth, I'm thinking it...
