Right, so if you're rolling the same tubes or equivalents for example what does the SE do better as a base than the 6. If tubes were the only reason for overall sound we wouldn't need more expensive amps 😄

Yea I always wanted the Meze cuz I know they're super comfy but after some stretching I can wear the S2 for hours without worrying about discomfort. Since I'm going the tube route I'll keep the Meze out of my collection for now. Might set my sights on an HD 800s in a couple of months

How does your Meze 109 pro compare to the S2? I sold my Arya V2 cuz of so sibilance. The S2 does every genre just like the Arya did so it works for me

It's a rabbit hole for sure. I've been researching and reading up on things for weeks. If you want something cheaper a hybrid is the way to go. I have Lyr+ right now and am looking to upgrade to a Woo Audio Wa6 myself

But how do they compare sound wise? I'm aware you have more tube rolling opportunities with the Wa6 but I'm assuming with more power you're going to get a potentially more detailed and harder hitting amp with the se compared to a softer lower power Wa6.

I'm having a hard time coming up with an answer to this. Wa6 vs Wa6 SE? I've found some discussion saying they liked the SE much better, but not much more direct comparison otherwise I'm still teetering on waiting for a cheap Wa6 gen 1 to pop up or snagging a Wa6 SE gen 1 which comes with a...

Finally downloaded a FLAC of Nobuo Uematsu's "The black mages", something I've been enjoying on my 660s2 through a low quality YouTube stream. Just showcases how incredibly immersive this headphone is. I keep praising the staging and imaging and it needs to be repeated. You can follow any one...

Maybe, maybe not. I bought mine used and am not sure how used they were but I hear the same thing. Surprising they'd be shouty on tubes Listing did say "barely used". I wonder what people think in regards to dynamic driver break in. I've experienced it with my Bifrost 2/64 and perhaps some...

I've noticed the shout too but only with one specific song in my library featuring a female vocalist. I think they're perfect with the amount of treble energy however. I used to have an Echo and was debating grabbing another but if a cheap Wa6 pops up again I'll grab that instead to save some...

I ordered mine from Viva tubes I never got to hear the stock tung sol. I bought a Psvane UK6SN7 and upgraded to the CV-181 which is certainly worth the price over the UK. Bit of warmth, detailed but not too bright. Spacious, holographic

From what I've gathered hybrid tube amps won't sound very tubey. That said I put the Psvane CV181-T mk.ii and really enjoy it

What is a capsule? You mean a driver swap into another headband/earcups?

I'm looking to snatch a Gen 1 off classifieds since they're pretty damn cheap it seems though rare (just missed the two that were posted recently) I've read reports about the Wa6 being quite dark up top and while I would like to tame the treble from my 660s2 just a tad Im mostly wanting those...

Describing something as neutral just means you're not going to get any coloration from the piece of equipment. It depends on what you're after For example when I had the Bifrost 2 it was a nice warm DAC with my Jot 2. When I added it to my tube amp at the time it was just way too warm for me...

I'm leaning towards the Wa6 right now. It's pretty cheap on classifieds and should serve as a nice tube amp to get into. If I really spot a difference next to my Lyr+ I'll consider a better upgrade down the line but I'm not looking to spend a ton right now

Any significant difference between the different generations of the Wa6?

I have been looking at tube amps but am not really willing to spend more than around $600 for one right now. I see a couple woo audio wa3 or wa6 in classifieds but am unsure if I'll like the darkened treble I keep hearing about. I have had a Feliks Audio Echo before and kinda wanna snag one...

Well guys I'm going to say it and I'm going to mean it. The 660s2 are simply one of the best cans I've ever heard. I think they're just about perfect in their tonal presentation, the dynamics are fantastic, the frequency response is excellent and these have some of the best imaging I've ever...

I did buy them off classifieds but the seller said they were barely used. But yea, first listens are usually what get me because I'm experiencing the the sound for the first time and if I like what I hear it taps into the songs I love to listen to. I have a couple vocal pieces that tend to hit...

Do you have a link or anything for this mod? Just got mine and am gonna spend some more time with them tonight

Wish I could. I've had emotional moments with my music in several ways, some headphones just do it better than others

Loving them! Thanks again

HD 660s2 has arrived, in the middle of my first listen and oh yes they are good. I'll do some comparisons with 660s later Edit 1: They've brought tears to my eyes already and several boughts of chills. I love this feeling

So, I'm hearing the S2 plays nice with tubes? I couldn't justify grabbing a Feliks Audio Echo for the 660s but since the S2 has higher impedance I might consider it. I do enjoy the Lyr but want to see if I'd prefer the OTL and sell the one I don't prefer. 660s2 should be arriving tomorrow!

I use these two. The pad is nice and wide but still fits into the headband cover. Geekria Headband: Geekria 2 PCS Knit Fabric... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D6UIBWY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Geekria Headband pad: Geekria Velour Headband Pad...
