HE6 + Mutec MC3+ (For Sale: Long story edition)

Hifiman HE-6 - PENDING

Right up front, this HE6 has been around, but sounds / operates perfectly. I know of at least 3 other owners, but just assume you will be the 33rd to own this can. Im not sure exactly where it falls on the Audiogon Scale, but I would say 6.5. Headphone looks great, no major scratches, cups are in great shape, leather shows some signs of use. The left adjustment knob that stops the headphone from sliding bigger or smaller is not working and slides freely. This does not impact sound, and once its on your head it stays in place. I was told when I bought this that a replacement part can be purchased for $40 or so.

Comes with blue tack mod installed by a previous owner (but this tack material is white). Also this is a 4 screw model.

Comes with:
Pleather, velour, and vegan (Which I bought new and are currently installed) pads
Stock xlr cable with 1/4" pig tail.
Hifiman xlr to speaker tap conversion box
Quite beat up box

Long story short, this headphone sounds fantastic but has seen some things man.

With these I would prefer it go to a Friend or Contributor - but if there arent any bites I can consider anyone else.

Selling everything for $775 shipped in the US, add paypal fees if buyer protection is wanted


Mutec MC3+ $400 - SOLD

This is not the USB input version.

So I was browsing on a remote part of audiogon when I find the steal of the century, a Mutec MC3+ for $550, and i decided to make the guy an offer and we settled on $500 plus shipping. I was thinking that 50% off from MSRP is a good deal, and I could compare it with my mutec MC1.2 and see what all this clocking fuss is about. Well it was when it arrived on my doorstep a couple of days later that I learned that Mutec makes a MC3+ AND a MC3+ USB. The model I purchased does not have a USB input, and makes it useless for me. I initially listed it on HF first as I was embarrassed about my lack of research. Hoping someone here has interest. Trying to take a $100 hit from what I paid, but am accepting offers on this one.

This model retails for $760 + shipping. I am trying to sell for $400 shipped with in US (nic paypal fees)

Is Jotunheim powerful enough to drive HE-6?

 

For better or worse it's what I use to drive my HE-6. I think it sounds pretty damn fantastic for how much it costs. It bested the Liquid Carbon and wasn't that far behind my Pioneer Spec 2 250W power amp.
