[QUOTE="stevanbuxt, post: 1132908, member: 13728"] A few weeks in... and having heard some glorious DACS, Cans etc... not moving sideways yet... but the He400se are running in way better than anticipated off the SABAJ headamp that was brought over by a mate from the UK. I know that the SABAJ does lldrive these cans AOK. The Cayin I recently heard, to my taste, is way more special than the Violectric I owned... aiming to go there. But with loadshedding kicking in, most importantly off a small Ecoflow sinewave inverter, I run these budget planars which are damn hard to run very efficiently with lots of room for both more volume and gain. So, I'm am thinking its like a SET/ vintage ESL setup in that sometimes lower bass is not low enough or even present; but the upper bass into mids etc are working fine and dandy and eq helps me. Let's see how the power and grid in SA fare now but so far , I have music, stage and air. Next step Cans... Planars, no fatigue, yes Hifiman upper end most likely . For what they are THE He400se are fantastic if you know how to drive them and if you find comfort in them which luckily I do. [/QUOTE]
