    The Woo Audio 2

    Does anyone have experience using the WA2 as a pre-amp? Is it as good of a pre-amp as it is a headphone amp....will it compete with higher end pre-amps like Cary, Mcintosh etc. or more like mid-fi stuff like Jolida and ASL?

    WOO AUDIO 2 as pre-amp / Cary SLi-80

    What performance level could I expect from the WA2 as a pre-amp, is it on par with mid-fi equipment like Jolida and the like or can it compete with higher end equipment like Cary, McIntosh. I sold some equipment and have a budget of +/- $3000 and I am looking for equal performance headphone...

    BEYERDYNAMIC DT770....80 or 250 Ohm

    Looking for a closed heaphone with good bass to use for late night movies and gamming. From what I have read it seems as though the BEYERDYNAMIC DT770's are what I am looing for ( bass heavy ). Now... I assume the 80 ohm version will be easier to drive over the 250 ohm version. I will be...

    Best DAC+Amp For K701s under $200

    The human ear on the average person can only hear from 20hz - 20khz so dont worry about 5hz or 30khz beause you would not be able to hear it anyway. You can feel 5hz but you can not hear it.

    Speakers for 5 watt Glow Audio One

    I have the Glow amp that puts out 5 watts of EL84 warmth. I have been tossing the idea around of building an enclosure for fostex fe208 @ 96db but I would prefer a bookshelf sized speaker. Are there any decent bookshelf speakes that will produce as close to a full range sound as possible. It...

    Classical Recomendations?

    If you are enjoying Beethoven the soundtrack to "Immortal Beloved" is basically a best of Beethoven disc. The quality is good too.

    Woo Audio 2 as pre amp

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. From what I have read in the threads about the WA2 is that the sound is warm with a large and deep soundstage with lots of air. Do these same characteristics hold true when used as a pre amp? Also, any suggestions on a good 2 ch tube amp match? I...

    Mapletree or Woo Audio for tube headphone amp

    I like what I have been reading about mapletree's 2 headphone amps and Woo Audio's 3+ and the 6. Looking to stay around that $500 +/-. To be used with Senn 650's. I listen to mostly classical so a dead quiet backround is important to me. Some jazz and rock but nothing too crazy. I tend to listen...
