Antelope Zodiac Comparison Chart
but then going backwards and selling an amp like WA22 to stay with Zodiac only?... If God helps me to fight this audio addiction and shrink this fleet of equipment to minimum, that's what I'll do :)- hotubei

Antelope Zodiac Comparison Chart
Well, WA22 is still a powerful balanced tube amp with 3 different output connector options and endless variety of sound coloration through tube rolling...which sounds great, to boot :) What I'd recommend though to those looking to get into headphones, is to first buy the Antelope as 3-1...- hotubei

Antelope Zodiac Comparison Chart
Quote: I prefer the Zodiac (I've the basic one) with WA22 as a terrific headphone setup. Zodiac DAC -> Lavardin amp -> Harbeth speakers is also a great setup btw, but less egoistic :) I went with the basic DAC version as my needs in inputs/outputs are far less complex as those...- hotubei

Just wanted to comment on the headphone output from this dac being really amazing. It wasn't even on my list of goodies when I was ordering the Zodiac. So for this dac's extra feature, it was a genuine surprise! Have Woo WA22 as my main amp, just to give you my point of reference.- hotubei

Quote: Yes, well, that's the puzzle I'm facing now These are actually second LCD2s I have. The first one come exactly one year ago, loved it and, being totally out of my mind, I sold that pair still in 2010... Now I've got another one and was somewhat hesitant, having read all the...- hotubei

Audeze LCD-2 Orthos
well, then, kind of into the same category: how to tell rev1 from rev2 (actually listening, looking at graphs, s/n or asking Sankar is considered cheating)- hotubei

Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite
Hi, woo-mates! Not sure as this has been chewed on, but anyone else tried WA22 with HE-6 yet? My trial run wasn't that much success, even though mine is 2W it sounded quite thin and I had to take it up to past 4pm for some meat. It was too loud then and didn't give me any joy :( so to say...- hotubei
