There's just something about adding glass vacuum tubes to sound equipment that makes it seem so cool. CY Report shows us the Orpheus system from Sennheiser. The HE 90 headphone is Sennheiser's ultra high-end electrostatic headphone. The Sennheiser Orpheus system pairs the headphones with HEV 90 vacuum tube amplifier. There are only 300 of these made and Wicked Digital claims to have the last brand-new unit left in the whole world for just under $20,000. Best headphones in the world? Maybe. And yes, we know they've been out for a while but still, simply amazing.

As customers who don't live near a Swedish distributor will have to place an order without being able to listen first, it is good to know that Harmony Design is willing to offer a 14 day trial to customers who request this. Naturally, units returned after a trial should be in the same condition they were sent--each one counts for a small manufacturer. Remember that the manufacturer can customise some aspects of this amp, such as the amplification level you need, and you can experiment with it yourself later.
