    WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!

    I just started getting crackle noise and severe distortion 2.5 - 3hours into my listening sessions with my now 1 year old WA7 running EH tubes. The bad part is that the crackling returns even with the Sovteks so it's not the tubes in my case. Neither pair has any oxidation or other physical...

    Woo Audio: NEW! WA7tp (tube PSU) Early-bird offer

    I would also like to know why a new PSU would make such a difference i would spend another $350.00 on my WA7.  Don't get me wrong, I love this product, but one of the reasons I bought it was for its minimal foot print. If I need to give up more space to a PSU for a marginal change in sound...

    Woo Audio WA7 fireflies Video review

    Excellent job on the video. I bought my WA7 a month or so ago and i have been listening to HD600's, Amperiors, and Triple Fi10's on it. I was not a fan of the way the HD600 sounds with it but the Amperiors sound awesome. The TF10, well jury is still out on that but for the price, the fact it...

    REVIEW - HiFiMAN RE-400 Waterline IEMs

    +1 - I love the the less analytical, rich sound of my Sansa so much i pair it with a JDS cMoy and the work really well together. I actually thought the lack of resolution from the Sansa "tamed" my Shure SE410's. However if i pug my UE TripleFi10 into them and play a track, and then play that...

    Reply to review by 'dlnwntchld' on item 'Sennheiser HD 600'

    Looking strictly at freq. charts, you could say that the HD600 is still one of the most neutral out there. The bass mid and treble regions are much closer to 0 than most which gives them brighter sound and also ensures that all frequencies are represented with nothing being downed out. This is...

    HD600 cable upgrade - worth it?

      That 200.00 + dollars spent on a cable in 1/3 of what the HD600 is worth.    I really think that Draca's post just about sums it up; there's very little imperial evidence that any of the cables make any real-world, testable, repeatable difference in sound. The only asterisk I would add is...

    HD600 cable upgrade - worth it?

    So far i don't think HD600 benefits from a cable change really; i tried swapping the Plussound Apollonian i use on my Senn Amperior instead of the stock Senn HD600 cable and i though the music lacked impact. This was as close an A/B you could get. i did them back to back and gave a few seconds...

    EXTREME/HARSH burn-in of Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohm = dt770 80ohm>>>>>Sennheiser HD650. SHAME ON YOU HEAD-FI!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now see, i think the DT770/80Ohm are far less sibilant then my Grado SR125's or any of my IEMs, Does the bass sound a little forward right out of the box...i would have to say yes; definitely not the most balanced i have heard out of the box. I drive all my headphones from a  FIIO ALPEN on...

    Main unamped 'phone for a variety: Beyer DT 880, Grado 225, Grado 325, HiFiMan HE-400, or other?

    Quote:       yup..i tried that walking around NYC with Grado SR125's; all but useless every noise gets in. I use my SR125's at home unamped with my iMac, but i did take teh plunge and buy Audirvana+, made a hge difference even w/o an amp. If that helps at all.

    Hello new headphone nut here...

    Hey folks, i wanted to pop in and say hello and hopefully get some good feedback on a choice for portable amp/dac @ $500.00 or so mark to power my Grado SR125's; eventually i will jump in and get SR325s, UE SuperFi5Pro, Grado IGI's (best cheap IEM ever!...imo) and Shure SE410s.   I have done...
