Bought the Mani 6 months ago, and could not be more pleased. Records sound so lifelike...all aspects of the sound the Mani produces are great, soundstage, depth and width, detail and clarity are fantastic, as is the bass response. Works with both mm and mc. After doing a Google search for...

Hi Jack, I just received the Sophia Electric 274 b/n Mesh Plate tubes from you....right out of the box, amazing! Much better in every aspect of the WA5....coherency, clarity, bass, mid- range, treble. Clarity, and coherency are standouts right out of the box...look forward to hearing the...

I was surprised as well when the Cardas adapters did not sound that good. It could be because they do not fit the Gungnir well. The Kirlin's fit perfectly. Yes, I am going from the Gungnir balanced using the xlr to rca's Kirlin adapters, to the rca's of the Sony Xa7es. One thing I have not...

Update on using the balanced outs of the Gungnir. Well, to my surprise, the $150 Cardas XLR to RCA adapters did not sound near as good as the 7$ Kirlin ones gong from the the Balanced Gungnir Multibit to my Sony Xa7es rebook player using a pair of Jena Labs ic's. Granted, the Cardas did not fit...

This is very interesting...after reading all the reviews on the Gungnir from The Google search, there was this only one review that mentioned he got better sound from his Gungnir delta by connecting a pair of xlr to rca's to his pre-amp as opposed to rca's to rca's...

Now the happy owner of the Mani and the mb Gungnir! I was running my Music Hall mmf 7 turntable through the Stax SRA 12-s phono, into the Woo WA5 ( very first (2008) WA5 on the market, now using fist run Elrog 300b's this last year w/no failures). The Stax broke, so no lp's for over 2 years...

Looking for info on the "Golden" Series STA-12S.....what is the difference between that model and a normal 12S?  Thanks

Hi magiccabbage,   I was at a local hi fi store the other day, and heard the Kef LS-50's ...did not even come close, literally and figuratively!  I have a pair of VMPS 40's that are good, but not like these.  Have not heard any mega bucks speakers recently, but I can say this...these are...

I don't know if anyone has tried these in their Woo Amps, I just got a pair of 5u4g's from www.thetubestore.com for my WA5.  I asked to have them matched, which they did for $5 a tube.  I have read that  there is no need to match rectifier tubes. Is it necessary?  In any case, here is what's...

Hi Wyan,   I have the first WA5 on the market, bought it back in June, 2007....fantastic headphone amp, AND speaker amp. Using it with the AKG K1000.  Have a new pair of 2 way speakers that sound incredible with the WA5. Grand Teton SE, with 94db sensitivity and 40-27,000 frq response.  ...

I agree...with my WA5+Elrog's...the whole sound picture changed when I changed the 6sn7's...did not hear such a change with my K1000, as I did with these new Grand Teton SE speakers...it was very evident in the tone, depth of soundstage etc. 

Hi Jack,   You're welcome!  I have had zero issues with it...still working perfectly!   I am having the same reaction to these speakers as I did with your WA5 back in 2007.   To have this level of clarity, effortless sound, depth, width and behind the head soundstage, which seems to be all...

I don't usually wax rhapsodic this much for stereo equipment, but when I hear something that  sounds this good for not a LOT of money, I feel it's warranted, and I hope more people will get to know these great speakers.    For anyone who is looking to buy a pair of speakers to pair with the...

I'm in the process of receiving a new pair of newly designed high-end 2 way speakers. The plan is to pair them with my WA5, then try a couple of SS state amps....an Aragon A/B 4004 mkII and an upgraded Threshold A/B S200. With the Threshold, the plan is to use the Lightspeed Passive Attenuator...
