Product Highlights

The HeadAmp Blue Hawaii SE (BHSE) features a 5Hz–20KHz frequency response and a hybrid design utilizing a solid-state gain stage paired with a vacuum tube output stage using four matched EL34 tubes. This premier electrostatic amplifier is crafted with an external power supply to ensure an ultra-low noise floor and includes a high-precision DACT 24-step attenuator. Equipped with both balanced XLR and RCA inputs along with dual Stax Pro-Bias outputs, it provides the necessary voltage and drive for flagship headphones such as the Stax SR-X9000 and Audeze CRBN. The unit is built to order with high-end components, prioritizing a pure and direct signal path for the most discerning listeners.

Celebrated with the Diamond Award from AudioKey Reviews and the Brutus Award from Positive Feedback, the BHSE is frequently described by critics as a "wire with gain." Reviewers highlight its exceptional transparency, lifelike midrange, and authoritative bass control that brings a new level of impact to the electrostatic experience. It delivers a perfect synthesis of tube musicality and solid-state precision, offering an airy, fatigue-free treble that reveals the finest details of any recording. The Blue Hawaii SE remains a definitive reference component for those seeking the absolute pinnacle of headphone amplification.
