haha wa6se seems to be both out in the market and out of my new budget of 500, but any one have a wa3 that they can compareto a good vintage receiver?

 

ps: for those of  u who who wonder where i got this weird/false idea of receiver not as good as dedicated headphone amps http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-10166132-47.html

 Really thinking about the WA6-SE as my forthcoming amp to compliment my V200 ~ eventual goal is to snare a PS1000

 so I had to ask :-)


 

the 325 just loves tubes. super smooth while maintaining a nice dynamic sound. i never find the 325 too bright or harsh like some of the people on head-fi do.

 

the WA6-SE just loves grados, my rs1 sounds great on them as well.  im sure the ps1000 will sound great out of the WA6SE as well.

to me the WA3 sounds better with the hd 650 than a vintage receiver.

 

its got more detail with better dynamics and better control.

the 3 is a good match for hd 650 if you like tubes

both of those amps are great combos for the hd 650.

 

 

i use my WA6SE which gives the hd 650 alot of energy and dynamics.

 

the WA2 is a little too warm at times, but still a good combo.

 

i know the WA3 is otl as well, but alot more neutral, so it should be perfect for the hd 650s.
