    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    Probably the best, I know they check through a lot of tubes to find the "perfect" ones. Here is the mail from Frank:       So buy them with Woo if you want to be sure :)

    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

        Pay premium from Woo Audio if you want to be sure about the quality you are getting. They cost a lot though, 50 bucks for a pair I think, but again they do a thorough check, you'll be almost 100% if you buy from Woo.. If not buy like 3 pairs from a normal tube vendor for the same price...

    Nice! Yeah I'm running with a NAD D 1050 DAC at the moment which satisfies me enough for now, might go for a Mytek down the road but that's going to take some time to save up for, lol. I currently run the WA6-SE with the EML 274B and the 5U4G, they are pretty awesome. I might get the GZ34 aswell...

    Yes, that's nothing to worry about I have the same with the left one of my 6FD7 fat bottle, it's tilted a bit more towards the amplifier. I'm taking some pictures tomorrow of my gear so you can see it then.   And the stock rectifier is ****, just so you know :D (Shuguang 274B)

      Yeah ask them for us, nice picture by the way :)  When I talked to them they said that they go through many tubes to find the right ones before sending, they didn't specifically say "perfect condition". Let's see, I'll find the email:   Quote from Frank at Woo Audio:   "We purchase our...

    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    I think they go through tons of tubes to find "perfect condition" ones. One of the reasons why it costs so much, not sure if it's worth it or not but I've ordered a few 6FD7s from those popular tube stores (2 pairs) one of those pairs had one faulty tube. But just buy like 3 - 4 pairs and it...

    Does it happen if you use a different rectifier?

    If I am not totally wrong here, but it seems like I am one of the few people to use the LCD-2 with the WA6-SE?   I bought EML 274B and EML 5U4G with DB girl, and got to say after getting those it made a huge difference, I hardly use the 5U4G, mostly 274B with 6FD7 fat bottle and it sounds...

    ATH-W1000X Thread!

    I didn't like the TH-600, it was very harsh on my ears. It sounded, kind of bright, it was basically piercing to my eardrums.    I've heard from a friend who has the TH-900 and the stock D7000 that he likes the D7000 more, the bass is better and it's darker. If the mod ruins that, then it's...

    ATH-W1000X Thread!

        How would you lads compare the bass to the D5K and D7K?   Because currently I know a guy who's selling me some fully Lawton modded D7000s for around 1100$ and they look pretty flawless. Not sure about the price, but isn't that alright? I've always wanted to try the D7000s, not sure if...

    How are these headphones compared to the sound signature of the D7000 and D5000?

    Headphones and DAC+AMP combo for my workplace.

    Hello, I am looking for some headphone recommendations for where I work.    The headphones I have from before is LCD-2.2 and HE-500 + some BeyerDynamic DT 990s, but the 990s is a bit ****ed up at the moment so I can't use them, and I'd rather not drag along the HE-500 or LCD-2.2, they are my...

    LCD-2.2 Faulty construction

    Yeah, sucks that It's going to cost like 60 - 70 $ to send them from Norway to the states..

    LCD-2.2 Faulty construction

    Hello, I wondered if anyone else has had similiar issues that I have with the new LCD 2s I bought on the black friday sale. It kind of annoys me, the there are some pretty bad flaws I had with the ones I got, some is just nitpicking but there are some that really bothers me too.  They also...

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

      It was piercing to my ears.. Used them for tops 10 hours before I sent them back. I thought trying to settle them in might have helped, but it didn't. They just didn't work for me :)

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    1.) Audeze LCD 2.2 (The best headphones I've listened to so far, a lot more comfortable to wear than the HE-500s in my opinion) 2.) HiFiMAN HE-500 (They are right up there with the LCD 2.2s, I haven't really managed to make a fair comparison yet because of imbalance (they are in for service...

    I currently pair my LCD-2 with a WA6-SE, EML 274B and EML 5U4G mesh with 6FD7 fat bottle, people whine about that LCD-2 is not a good match for the WA6-SE, but in my opinion it's awesome! I have it with a NAD D 1050 DAC, which is pretty warm compared to other "neutral" DACs. I find it fits...

    Congratulations! :) It's a great amp! I got it in November and I am now getting a couple of new rectifiers, EML 274B Mesh and EML 5U4G Mesh. I currently have a pretty decent collection of tubes that came with it from the guy I bought it with (they were pretty great starting tubes). Oh and I...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Just got the Hegel HD20 DAC that I am borrowing from a store where I live. I use it with a WA6-SE and the HE-500, and damn.. Sounds pretty sick now, this setup is great, although I don't think I'll be buying the Hegel H20 though, can't afford it atm :P

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    It is indeed, I didn't really like the TH-600 compared to the HE-500 so far, but I will make a review soon. And post some pics :) I need a few more hours before I can tell if it's bad or good :P One thing I can say for sure is that the TH-600 got a mean punch, but the HE-500 is a lot more...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    There's probably tons out there who have, I am currently running the WA6-SE and I will run it for a while, it's amazing :P. Eventually though I will change and I will probably combine the Lyr with the BiFrost, just to test it out, always wanted to see how that combo is... It probably won't be...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

      I have no experience with the Lyr, but if I had 500$ I'd probably consider the Lyr, I've heard great things about the Pan Am, but I don't know if it's strong enough the drive the HE-500. The HE-500 requires a bit of power to "unleash the beast". If I were you I'd probably go for the Lyr and...
