Just some quick thoughts off the top of my head..
I had a singlepower Balanced Extreme, WA22,,,,,Balancing Act,,here (my house) all at the same time... all observations were with a Meridian 808.2i. as a source. and HD 800 with Blue Dragon balanced cable..Black Dragon interconnects.. Lots of Jazz, Pink Floyd, some classical,, but in my opinion the larger classical orchestral CDs played through headphones just doesn't do the music the same justice as speakers or the real deal...
The singlepower amp was a bit slow ,euphoric,non fatiguing. lacked detail compared to the other two..it did have good tight bass punch,,and plucks..
The Woo Audio WA22..shares the same sound signature with more detail, most noticeable were the cymbals, triangles, but later the WA22 just did everything just a bit better,,a little less euphoric.
The Balancing Act has the most detail,, with out being analytical,,The hi end is nice without being fatiguing (nice cymbals,,triangles piano)..
The mids are just right, the instruments and the human voice are all well spaced and if you want you can pick out the piano,,up-right bass, human voice, for me this is where the real magic of the balancing act begins..
The upright bass for example,,I can hear more detail with this amp than the other two.. The pluck of the bass string,,,,, "ah" The finger meeting the string, the finger leaving the string,, then the sound of the strings resonating in and out of the body of the instrument, and the decay of that sound reacting with the other instruments,, and the room! There are so many textures and layers,,some nights when I can't sleep I listen to 2 or 3 CDs critically,, many times,, just to turn off the mind from the days events.. But in those magical evenings the BA,, never will, let you down..
The bass is the best,, I have ever heard from headphones.. (since I sold the WA 22 and the Extreme, I purchased a set of LCD 2 then the bass stepped up a notch or two). The kick drums and toms are so realistic with this combination... Just my thoughts..
Singlepower amp.
gave way too
Woo Audio WA22
and that gave way too
Balancing act.. that was the question right?
