Bump. When are these available? Anybody try them? I'm currently comparing these against the Sennheiser HD1 Wireless Headphones for purchase. Thanks.

+1 on the Performance.  I own one and I love it.

Hi all, Very helpful thread. Anyone have any experience with pairing the Isabellina HPA with the D7000? I currently am using an Apogee Duet + WooAudio WA6 coming out of a Mac Pro, and I'm considering a switch the Isabellina. Have any of you guys done a similar transition? Will I notice a huge...

+1 for WA6 -- Good match in my opinion (albeit I haven't had the pleasure to A&B with the others suggested). Good luck choosing!

Will someone please explain to me why the AH-D7000 aren't part of the poll? Nor have they been discussed once in this thread. Last I checked these cans are $1,000; I'd say that makes them "high end," eh? Also why include the AH-D5000 and not the 7000?

any updates?

Hi all! I just got a Pro-ject Tube Box II SE phono preamp, and I would be SOOOO GRATEFUL if someone could help me with the appropriate settings I should be using for my Zu DL-103 cartridge. My options on the Tube Box My specifications on the Zu-DL-103 Thank you very much...

No thoughts? I thought this was an easy question.

Hi all! What should the impedance settings be set to on the WA6 for: AH-D7000s: 25 ohms GS1000: 32 ohms My choices on the WA6: 100-600 ohms 8-99 ohms n00b question: Will more ohms make the sound louder/better always? Thanks very much!

I would steer clear of the firewire solo. I just got rid mine. Frankly, the drivers plain suck. Go with an apogee duet for the extra bucks...

I just received my WA6 w/ the Pseudo Dual Power Supply, and the Sophia Princess upgrade everything else in the amp is stock. I didn't read this thread before placing my order, should I (or can I) send back my unit for upgrades? Will there be a huge improvement in sound? Also, does burn in really...

Are you sure that the bass on the GS1000 doesn't go below 100hz, that doesn't sound right. (pun intended). Can you expand on why you think they are "crap." Quote: Originally Posted by djayjp Yes, exactly. Headphones need to actually emphasize the bass in order to portray a...

Another vote for the GS-1000 -- Tight and deep on the right amp.

x3 for the Apogee Duet

"Wait... is the Duet a DAC, or a DAC/amp combo? If its the latter, can you just use the DAC, bypass the amp, and send it to an external amp?" Quote: Originally Posted by Hopstretch Yes. Very successfully! How can you be sure you are bypassing the integrated amp? THX

Hi Jody, Unfortunately I didn't get very much of a response from people regarding the GS1K and the Duet. So I chanced it and ended up getting the GS1K to use with the duet. Here is my story: I already owned the duet at the time I was considering the GS1K, and I also had a pair of grado sr220s...

Thank you very much everyone for your replies. :-)

I am interested to know how your selection turned out David. I'm in the same boat you were in. Cheers

panda, those seem a bit expensive

I should also mention that I want a musical and warm sound -- will the woo 6 provide that? If I decided to go up another hundred dollars to the HeadRoom Desktop Amp, which isn't a tube amp, what are the benefits/negatives about that maneuver?

I'd probably stick with the stock tubes at first b/c I want to stay within $600.

Hi, I am upgrading my SR-225s to the RS-1s and I want to purchase a tube amp to go along with them. Thus far I've had my mind set on the woo audio 6, but before I pull the trigger I want to know if you guys think it's a good pairing. Is there a better tube amp in the $600 price range? Thanks

Has someone tried the GS 1000 with the Apogee Duet? Cheers
