Hi all, first time poster here so be gentle! ;)
First of all, thank you all for contributing to Head-Fi. I've been silently researching this site while trying to decide which combination of headphones and amp to purchase. Needless to say, HF has been a tremendous resource.
I ended up going with the Woo Audio WA6 for my amp, which I will take delivery of tomorrow! As for headphones, I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD-600 that I've had for years. To power them, I was using an ORB 11 SE which I hear is not very good.
What I will be mostly using my new setup for is CMSS gaming on my PC, and for music in those times that I can't use my main setup. (Less time to listen to it now that we have a 1yo and a 4yo running around.)
Since I am so indecisive, I ordered both the AKG-702s and the Beyerdynamics DT-990s from amazon. This weekend I will have all 3 headphone face off, winner stays, losers goes!
My questions are:
- The WA6 is my first tube amp, is there anything that I need to know before setting it up?
- Out of the headphones I ordered, are any of them just not a good match for the WA6? I read on one of the threads that the W3 might be better for the DT-990s and HD-600s, if so, in what way?
Any other tips or advice is welcome.
Thanks!
-Sam
