Beta22 by Hellium [balanced] (XLO Unlimited p/cord). My rig in the signature BTW :wink:

Yes, it's custom made by the Zhukov Sergei (LynxAudio) when he repaired and modded my WES... He very strongly recommended to not put amp case on PSU, because it's overheats (it's became better after mods, but still...), and the stock cable is very short, so he made me new custom one...

Made global changes in placement of my rig... Couch has left the room, so audio rig can become much more "free" :)

As my digital rig (includes solved "power question", "cables question" and "headphones question") IMO is "done", I decided to try to make analog rig as some alternative... So, rearranged my setup (fortunatelly my atacama racks is modular, so have a chance to do this rearrangement) to make all...

Had been in bussiness trip for about 1.5 months, so decided that I want more high class "portable" rig (used DX100 with UM Miracle and Audez'e Sine)... so here is what I have now: Notebook (Win 10, Audirvana 3.5) -> (WireWorld Starlight 8 Type С - Type С 1 m. cable) -> Centrance HiFi M8-V2...

:thumbsup: Also, forgot to mention, the power question is very important for Debussy, I used Power Plant P5 for all my audio devices for some years, but about 2 years ago had a chance to try (and buy if I like it) ISOL-8 Power Station Twin Channel, and with it Debussy got on another level...

I have dCS Debussy and don't have a slightest desire to change it, sounds really great with any MAC (I have MacMini with external custom linear PSU) computer via USB, It's probably "end game" DAC for me... I bought it used for about 7500$, but it was some years ago, I think now it can be found...

1) STAX SR-009 2) AKG K-1000 3-4) Audez'e Sine (custom silver-gold cable) 3-4) UM Miracle CIEM (Whiplash TWcu v3 cable)

Remixed my power cord configuration... spent about 5-6 hours on testing different combinations... But, it was deffinetely worth it, now system sounds much better :o2smile: So my current "power setup" looks like this: AC Outlet ► (Shunyata Research ZTron Python) ► ISOL-8 CUBE 3 ► (Shunyata...

Sorry, but never heard any Chord at all... Not heard many top DACs actually, Debussy, Linn Akurate DS/0/D, Berkeley DAC Series 1/2, Accustic Arts DAC1 MkII, that is probably all...

I love it. Probably only Berkeley DAC Series 2, but it's cheaper... I like Debussy better than Berkeley, it's more "my sound", clear, fast, neutral, very detailed and airy... BTW before Debussy I had Linn Akurate DS/0/D.

A week ago (Abyss unfortunately is not mine, taken them for a listening for a few days from a friend...): Today replaced CUBE on the floor at the back of the small rack, it's more convinient that way:

They only have russian on their site, that is probably the reason you were unable to google it... This is a page with catalog of MS Audio cables: http://msaudiolab.com/cables.html . This is a page of discription of hybrid cable for HE-series headphones: http://msaudiolab.com/cables/he_hybrid.html

  Asked russian master (he has repaired and modded my WES some time ago) about using KT77 with WES, he said it's OK to use them, but look after their brightness and heat to be on the safe side... So have about 10 hours of burn-in (two evenings) for now on my Genalex Gold Lion KT77, they working...

Can I use KT77 tubes in WooAudio WES amp? If I can, then I can make it just by changing the tubes or some tuning had to be done to the amp? I already bought quad of KT77 and now I have a doubts and KT77 isn't in the WooAudio list of compatible tubes for...

If it's about digital source, then I don't plan on change MacMini on anything, I bought Debussy partly because of some reviews from respected russian audiophiles that wrote that Debussy has amazing sinergy with MAC OS through USB, one of this reviewers have notebook with deep software and...

Oh, another MAC + Debussy + WES + 009 owner   BTW, are you not afraid of overheat of WES in this positioning? It's just WES gets really hot after 3-4 hours of working even when it's on the upper shelf... I think that overheat may be the reason why one of filter chokes in my WES had broken (the...

  I can completely agree that Woo amps definitely looks much simpler inside, than outside... Some pages ago posted some photos of my WES before and after fixing and modding by russian master (Sergei Zhukov, LynxAudio). Here are a link to the post with this photos, if someone interested (BTW...

Got myself another Shunyata Research Anaconda ZTron power cord, now I have two of them  Also have two Python ZTron power cord, Anaconda ZTron interconnects and Python ZTron coaxial cable... as cables always behind the rack (so they almost can't be seen on photos of my rig), but IMO is important...

Already posted some photos in "Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state." thread, but dicided that they will be more appropriate in this thread with some text comments (almost no technical details, sorry, I'm noob in this mater, so only photos...)   Had some issues with my WooAudio...

Moved MacMini line PSU on power conditioner (Power Plant P5 on bottom shelf)... Not so pretty, but I don't like placing PSU on DAC... will see how P5 react to line PSU standing on him... I'm a little bit afraid of overheat of P5...

After a few issues with my WooAudio WES (at first flame stabilazer broke, then one of filter chokes broke) master that were fixing my WES proposed to make some modifications to the amp, I agreed... With modification master had to make new power cable between PSU and amp blocks of WES, so he made...

Another addition to my cable "serpentarium", today got myself Shunyata Research Python ZTron Digital coaxial cable (to connect my TEAC VRDS-10SE (which I bought recently) as digital source to my dCS Debussy DAC). So, a couple of photos:

Today got myself TEAC VRDS-10SE cd-player as an alternative digital source (main is MacMini (with line PSU) via USB) for my dCS Debussy DAC... IMO it looks quite nice in my rig and it's sound better than I expected, it will be interesting how it will sounds when I (not exactly I, I'm going to...

They slightly changing sound of USB cable (according to Synergistic Research: black bullet gives more dark sound, silver gives more bright sound, and gray is neutral... my impressions not compleatly goes well with this discriptions though, but overall they somewhat similiar...), as for changes...
