    Your collection :)

    At one point I had 4 pairs. Audeze LCD either 2 or 3 pretty sure it was 3. Senns HD 800, HiFi Man HE 6. Then I got the Utopias. After that the others were just never used as the Utopias bettered them all in every respect. The Audeze I just couldn't live with the high end was just dull. The Senns...

    Your collection :)

    How do the Grado GS 1000e compare with Utopia. I have the latter but fancy a second pair of Headphones and I have often fancied the Grado but maybe I would get the GS2000e. I want something a bit different than Utopias which I love ....too much of the same would be a waste. I listen all kinds of...

    Woo Audio WA5/WA5 LE owners

    Just curious. I have had my WA5 LE2 Now for over a year. It is standard build but now I wonder if I should have had the upgrade caps. Any info on how much better it would be and if it is possible to obtain the parts and get it done with an Audio Engineer that knows valves. I do know a very good...

    Woo Audio WA5/WA5 LE owners

    This is what I did but be very careful. Get some gold model paint and thin it down a lot so its more like coloured water. With a very small model paint brush load it and dab into each letter. It will run quick. Best to remove all the valves....yes I am Englander...tubes then, and turn the amp so...

    Cables for Focal Utopia Headphones

    I have just aquired a pair of Utopia. Sound absolutely stunning with the stock cable to me, loads more detail and things I have never heard before, vocals crystal clear ...amazing cans. Is the Silver Widow much of an improvement and which did you get 18 or 22 AWG ?. As I need a new cable for my...

    Second Headphones Advise Please!!

    I find the Senn HD 800 very spacious sounding and detailed. In some areas and on some older recordings, as I have a vast collection of analog records, the top end can be a bit harsh, not uncontrolled, but it overtakes the rest of the music, sits too much up front if you like, where as on a lot...

    Second Headphones Advise Please!!

    From the advice here I am going to forget the T1 as I think maybe that would be a bit of an underdog to the HD 800 rather than just different. I think it will be the HE-6 or Audeze LCD 2 maybe for the difference with the LCD 3 which is £2000 here in the UK is a bit too much outlay, where as the...

    Second Headphones Advise Please!!

    I wont be going electro stat as I have just bought this amp. It is capable of 10 watts, so plenty of headroom, so maybe the HE 6 would be a good choice.I was looking at this forum this morning about them. Are they readily available in the UK.???

    Second Headphones Advise Please!!

    As I am in the process of selling up my High End Hi Fi amps and speakers due to a move to a smaller dwelling where I cant house the system I used to have, I am going full out Head Phone system. Firstly I have my Amp, which is built for me by John Wood here in the UK , it is valve, has all the...

    WOO WA5 LE vs Mapletree MAD Super HD

    I have owned the MAD Super HD for the last 18 months, I run a high end analog system through it, using Senn HD 800 and have been very happy with it. I am however thinking of upgrading to the WA5 LE with parts upgrade etc. I can now afford to do this as I have sold off my Cary 805 Anniversary...
