WA5 vs WA5-LE
Are they essentially the same in term of driving headphones (such as HD800)? The difference between them is that WA5 can drive K1000 and some high efficient speakers? Thank you in advance.- actuary616

I bought a pair of NOS Tung-Sol 6F8G/VT99 today. They were produced in 1940. Hopefully, they are better than Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z.- actuary616
