I assume you've seen the reviews on HF? They seem pretty good if you trust any of the reviewers.
I am hoping to get a pair soon, but Brannan says they're selling so well that they are sold out most of the time.
I'll let you know when/if I get them and have a chance to listen.

The Savant reviews on HF that I've read sounded more like new toy syndrome or fanboyism than a review so I remain suspicious.

It was really good. Say.... more balanced/refined version of old UE TripleFi Pro.

This is high praise...what's your usual reference point?

First post here.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed listening to the EC table at last weekends SF meet. The Zana and Studio are both fabulous. I put my full meet impressions over on HF.

Oddly enough, the EC table sold me... on the Yggy. Hearing what it can do with the EC amps made a believer out of me. It should make for a nice compliment to my Oppo BDP-105.

I may also have to snag one of those EC tube amps in the future if the price is right. They worked magic with the HD600s I was testing with.

My pleasure.

Someone had to put up a post who was familiar with higher-end gear.

As much fun as it is to read everyone's impressions I only really take them to heart when they come from people who know what good gear sounds like. Some of them are here, some of them are at HC, some are at HF.

It is always amusing listening to people dump on electrostatic rigs who do most of their listening out of the headphone out on their PC.

Music Alchemist...

It's more amusing to see people rave/bash the products they've never listen to

Oh, we do that here too. Mainly to mess with n3rdling. I think he's figured that out by now.

Thou shalt not disparage SR-009 jesus for he is the chosen one.

Or he is at least among the chosen ones :).

It was listening to his 'stat menagerie back at the SF meet back in 2010 or 2011 that got me hooked on stats in the first place.

Given the amount and variety of the headphones he owns he is more like "Noah."
