I hereby pledge to drink nothing that does not come from a bottle... With % alcohol by volume label :wink:.
A Gradoholic is one thing, alcoholism is a disease which can be treated.

Joseph69, are you saying that you've auditioned the Hugo?

 
 
   
Ditto...would like to hear some impression and reasons for the hype, without being bashed...

No, I never mention the Hugo…must have been someone else.
I did receive the WA6-S/E this morning, and I'm burning it in right now with the stock tubes though.
I'm also waiting for the Fosgate Signature Headphone Amp to come today too.

The Chord Hugo is a hallmark technical achievement. I'm just not sure that my LP old CD, cassette tape(OMG), and some vintage 4-track quad recordings from the sixties requires that sort of upgrade.

technical achievement is great.
Experience and books have thought me that the human body is the most complex but also the most unreliable measuring tool in existence. So graphs and numbers look great, but are fairly meaningless in our hobby. imo.
 
- But because we all are aware of this, we love our headphones which are produced in a shabby workshop in Brooklyn and look as if they were conceived shortly after the World War 2...

- I'll probably check out the HUGO thread at some stage, when i am mentally ready to be bashed -

Just a quick shot of the WA6-S/E's temporary home while burning-in.

I just made some unearthly noises looking at that, completely failing at making any sense, it was clear to those around me though, that i was looking at a very pretty something. Why are the things i most desire created in america, and not around the corner?

Have fun with them. Remember there's someone in europe who'd love to have that amplifier. :)

Dreamthinker, everyone says the Hugo is the greatest invention since the electric toaster. That might be all well and good but I'd rather upgrade my rig, the one that I'm happy with right now, then spend a bunch on a dac/amp that you have to get super expensive custom cables for. Just me though.
