I'm currently waiting for my new but Used HD650s from a member. I'm wondering what would be a nice amp for this bad boy around $500 or so. If its cheaper but still pounds then that would be good also. I'll be listenining to pretty much all sorts of music also. And would tube be better for...

Hi there,   It's been a while (admittedly) since I've listened to my records. The problem was that my old stylus broke while I was moving rooms in the house, and I hadn't gotten around to replacing it until now (Some 2-3 months later)   Anyway, I'm going from the N97xE for my M97xE to...

Where can buy HD650,Darkvoice 336SE or Woo Audio or DA&T in Canada Toronto?I live near Eaton Centre~

Hello. As my screen name implies I am new to the world of tubes. I am a new member of this forum as well. I have no headphones yet, but from what I see on this forum, Sennheiser HD800 or Beyerdynamic T1 should be on my short list.    Now, about the WA22 question; I have already exchanged a...

Hey everyone! Looking for a new amp to drive some Senn HD650 and Grado RS1 (which I will be buying at a later date). The two amps I am leaning towards most are the Mad Ear+ HD and the Woo Audio 6. Both run in at around $500 used, so a similar price. From my research I have gathered that the...

Is it a bad idea to use a Tube Amp with low impedance headphones? I currently have a Glow Audio Amp one, and I'm looking at purchasing the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 phones, that I believe only have 38 ohm impedance or so.

This journey started by looking for a new SS amp to replace my old HeadRoom Home.  After ages of ignoring Woo posts I saw Musicman59's Black WA5-LE and that was it.  I was lucky enough to have Skylab invite me over to A/B the Meir SS and his Woo 6.  a few minutes listen and I knew the Woo was...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has compared the WA6 with the Little Dot Mk VI. I was thinking of tube amps, and these are in a similar price range of $600-700, and the LD is balanced, whereas the WA6 is not, but was wondering what are the differences, and which is better. Any input...

i was thinkin about upgrading to a WooAudio 6..   i have the SennHD650's with a custom ClouCable and Bluejeans Cable.     will i notice a huge difference between the 3 and the 6.     i have upgraded tubes for the 3..

Heya, I'm new.  Horribly new, and looking for advice.  I have a pair of AKG K702's and Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium's (250 Ohm, but maybe switching to 600 Ohm).  I'm looking to get a good amp for home use.  I've bought a Maverick TubeMagic D1 for work, mostly for the DT990's.  While I'm waiting...

Below are my impressions of the Woo WA22 from while I owned it (October 2009 - February 2010). However, while I owned the amp for that long, I should add a disclaimer that I put in only 2 weeks of actual listening on the amp. This is only my opinion of the amp and even I might disagree with my...

i consider the woo amps to be the one of the best, but i wonder what their main competition is, do they only offer head amps?

Suffering a very bad case of upgraditis right now, and I'm mulling my last purchase for a while. I'm powering my K701s with a LD MK IV SE right now and I'm very happy, although I'm worrying that they might still be underpowered. Sooo... from an extensive search through the forums, I'm...

Hi! my wa6se tends to buzz/sizzle slightly on the left channel sometimes. Stranger, a light knock on it solves the problem for a while... any advice?

I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Is what I assume to be an incremental improvement really worth the additional $1500 using K702 and HD650? (And I realize "worth" is subjective). Ignore features - I only care about sound quality. Thanks.

I have a vintage 1978 Setton RS 220. It's quite puzzling but it sounds more musical than my Woo Audio 6. I would say the Woo Audio is more clean but the headphone out of my Setton is more musical for both my hd800 and especially for my akg k240M(600oms). It drives them more effortlessly. I...

So I've been delaying this, but I think it might be time to succumb to the world of tubes I've become resigned to the fact that one amp/headphone isn't going to be perfect for all situations and I recently returned my Beyerdynamic T1 and got a pair of Denon D7000 and Grado RS1i instead. So I...

Hello. I just made an adapter for my HE60 headphones and am using them on the WooAudio GES that I purchased. This is my first time trying the GES since I received it. I'm getting a slight feeling that there is a slight channel imbalance to the left side. I'm not sure if this is the...

Hello Folks... Just wanted some advice please re suitable Head~Amp My system will be Dell Studio 32 bit+Musicstreamer II+& Audioengine A5s + Grado 60 i H/Phones+ Custom Made Cables. Thing is I spent more on this set up than I planned..and I would very much Like to integrate my Grados into...

While I don't expect this thread to get a great deal of response due to the smaller number of 6's out there in relation to other amps, this amp is well worth working with. The only change I have made so far is to swap out the cathode caps to Black Gate nonpolar 16 volt 470uf (red). The...

  Full review of the Woo Audio 3 WA3 here. There are loads of pictures, glowing exposures, and RMAA measurements.    I've been using full size headphone amps since 2003; my first love was Meier, and to be honest, I'd go back that way in a heartbeat if I had the room. On my desk this month...

Hi all,   So I'm in the market for a headphone amp, with a budget of around $1000-1500 to power my Grado rs1i's and also my AKG k702's.   I have done quite a bit of reading and without being able to audition the amps myself have come to the conclusion that either the ALO Amphora or the...

Hey guys,   Currently, this is my setup : Laptop --> Musiland Monitor 001 --> MisterX y2(Gamma-2) DAC --> Woo Audio 6 --> DT880 600Ω .   Now, I'm a college student, and this setup BARELY fits on my table. I absolutely love the WA6 with my DT880, but I do a lot of traveling as well, and...

Hi all   first time poster so please be kind ;-).   I have recently entered into the world of cans with a purchase of a pair of 650s. this is due to the new arrival needing sleep or something... anyway I have a Marantz Nr1501 which seems to have a reasonable phone socket (or at least the...

Why don't we start two Woo permanent threads?  One dedicated to the amps and banter.   The other dedicated to tube rolling and tubes.   Keith
