The Asgard and the Woo are two different animals. The Asgard is ok for its purpose. It's connected to my Mac Mini via a first gen Modi DAC. I have 20,000 MP3's that I can access. It's more for convenience when I'm not critically listening. The Woo is connected to my CD player. The Woo's...

My 9 year old WA6 is still going strong. Still very satisfied with it.

I've never tried 6SN7's in my WA6. Are they that much better than 6DE7's, 6EW7's, and 6FD7's I have in stock?   Driver/Output: (8) NOS RCA 6DE7 w/shield (4) NOS Westinghouse 6DE7 w/shield (2) NOS GE 6DE7, (2) NOS Sylvania 6DE7 (4) NOS Sylvania 6EW7 Fat Bottle Clear Tops (2) NOS GE 6EW7 Fat...

  I'd say I'm a lifetime member of this schiithouse. Great company! 

I agree with you logic on that front. I only buy matched sets for my PrimaLuna Prologue 2 integrated amp even though they claim you can use unmatched. Whether or not I can hear a difference is another story..

  I'm with you. I have several sets of 6DE7, 6EW7, and 6FD7's by different makes for my WA6. I only match the brand and vintage. I personally have't heard any mismatch between right and left balance or sound quality. But then again, my ears aren't as sensitive as a young person's. I guess it's...

Thanks :) I think I'll stick with my original Asgard then.    

Jay, what do you like better about the Asgard 1?  I have one and was thinking about upgrading to version 2. 

Oh Schitt! Looks like I'll be spending more money! Thanks Jason!! Modi 2 Uber here I come!

Sure is. I still own the Teac 2300S :)

Thanks! BTW, the Woo is one of the early models. Probably the first one with the enlarged driver/output tube cutouts. I had the pseudo dual power supply mod done at a later date. That being said, it's been dead reliable for the four and a half year I've owned it. :)

I've never had any problems with my D2000's. BTW, I've owned mine for 5 years now. That being said, I'm very careful with my gear. 

I don't do twitter, instagram or facebook so I guess I'm out.. Why can't we enter here, or on Woo's website?

 This piece of Schiit is on my radar!  Can't wait to hear more impressions once released :)

Quote: I'd like to disable the Windows volume control since I'm using my Modi with a preamp/power amp setup. On my Mac, it automatically gets disabled which I prefer. Anyone know how to do that? 

Quote: I use one of my modi's in the same configuration. If I touch the modi after I've been walking around the room, it will cut out for a second. I wonder if grounding it would help?

Just ordered another Modi for my home office setup. Very impressive little DAC, especially for the price :)

Quote: I have 4 pieces of audio equipment that use the same pot (Alps Blue Velvet) including the Asgard 1. I guess I'm lucky. I haven't noticed an imbalance with any of them 

My Kenwood KA7002 Integrated Amp, and KT7001 Tuner from the early 70's. The Tuner still works like a champ. Sad to say the Integrated Amp is there just for show. Basically, it sounds like crap.

Quote: And it is. I just thought it wasn't the time or the place to bring that up. 

Quote: The price of high end audio in general is out of control IMO, but that has nothing to do with what happened. This low life needs to get what he deserves, some serious time in prison....
