DerekL Mcintosh Amps / Headphone Thanks :) dL

This has been the most enjoyable review I've ever read on Head-Fi. Excellent job!   dL

No I did not and I don't intend to do any test. I simply listen and enjoy music and I personally discovered improvements worthy of my investment. Sometimes it's a good thing to not believe in cables because that hobby can get really expensive and nobody's wallet is going to like that.  ...

The Official Nordost Cables Impression Thread www.nordost.com   (The Heimdall Hat-Trick. My recent purchases after attending a local Nordost event.)     I've always been a non-believer in cables, especially since I've purchased cables from other well known brands in the past and there...

What a world of difference after upgrading my power and USB cable to the Nordost Heimdall 2. Now listening to the Z7 is at another whole new level. I can't wait until the day when Nordost comes out with a cable for the Z7.   The Z7 is definitely a keeper for me, even after owning the HD800 for...

The HD800 sounds really really good with the Woo Audio WA7 + WA7TP. It has a lot of synergy and the overall presentation is very musical to my ears.   dL

Just want to share my recent experience with cables. I was never a big believer that cables can change much for the value, until I've demoed the Nordost first hand. I attended a Nordost event in Vancouver, BC yesterday and all I can say is there is definitely a NOTICEABLE difference up to a...

  Awesome to hear. We look forward to hearing your listening impression after burning in.    dL

  Congrats on your new purchase! Yes it's normal to spin like a knob and it's also normal that it is a bit wobbly. This has been the only disappointing part about the WA7 & WA7TP, but I guess they cut a few corners so they can avoid building more custom parts just for the power button, or else...

My oh my, this is the best discovery ever. Thanks to @HiFiGuy528    The FSP is the most neutral yet musical headphone I've ever heard. Normally there's something I can complain about the sound (i.e. too dark, too bright, too distant, too harsh, too cold, too detailed, etc.) I can't find...

The Focal headphones are amazing. I've tried both Classic and Pro and I kept the Pro at the end. The Classic is still great and I find the Focal headphones to be grossly underrated. They combine neutrality with musicality, something that is usually very hard to achieve unless it's coloured in a...

Think the WA234 might be better for you ;) dL

It is my favourite headphone at the moment. Beats out the HD700 in most areas. dL

Thank goodness. The trolling was utterly annoying and unnecessary. The baby has stopped crying. Thanks Hastur! dL

Did they raise the price? http://www.upscaleaudio.com/mullard-cv4003-12au7-vintage-new-old-stock/   I thought it was $75 before...   dL

Mine has a tiny bit of play if I purposefully wiggle it, but it's definitely not loose and jiggly, and this is coming from someone with some level of OCD-ness. (right HiFiGuy528?)   Definitely doesn't feel like it's about to fall off, but it does feel "cheaper" compared to the rest of the...

That also includes the TP unit. I find if you put it at least 2 fingers apart, then it should be good. Anything less and there will be some noticeable hum.   dL

The Z7 with Kimber cable connecting to the Woo Audio WA7 + TP is simply a dream. It is absolutely my favourite setup at the moment, but that's because I haven't heard of every headphones out there. One of the scary fact is that I don't see the reason why I should keep the HD700 anymore. In...

  Fixed link for you, Mike  think you posted the wrong one haha.   dL

I have extremely high expectations in almost everything in life and I have to say that I've received some of the best customer service ever from Mike (HiFiGuy528) and the team at Woo Audio. Contrast to the other company mentioned on this thread title that provides "legendary service" with one...

Then Mike will say even better with a Nordost cable. :p dL

Congrats on the purchase! Do give it some time to burn in and it should open up. :) dL

Any chance we can buy this in Canada? dL
