    For the old timers...

    Does any one remember a user who used to post here many years ago, whose name was something like Patrik and had Stax and was convinced that some sticky papers on the cables would make a difference to the sound because it was changing something in the EMF? If so, can you please send me his...

    Office setup advice

    Hi all, We are getting a new office and I'd like to build a small office setup for those noisy days. I'm pretty much set on the amp: WA7 w/ Wa7tp. I have the WA7 at home (with the brick power supply) and like it so far. I use the Audeze LCD-X at home and like them with the WA7 and the Mjolnir...

    Which Woo amp for Audeze LCD-X?

    Hi all,   I've been a member here for a long time, but I had stopped visited the forums for years (so I don't go broke). Since, it's been a few years, I thought I'd take a look at what's new and see if I can do a major upgrade of my equipment.   I mostly listen to classical, jazz and more...

    WA5 without XLR but not LE :)

    Hi all,   I'm back from the dead :) I haven't been on here for a few years cause I was quickly running out of money (sound familiar?). Well, I saved enough to where I can afford a nice upgrade. I have been using a WA6 for the last few years. I sent it to Jack for the PDPS mod in 2010 (I...

    WooAudio6 Tube Amplifier Full Review - Part I

    Introduction This is the first part of a full Woo6 review. Part I is a summary of my impressions upon receipt of this unit (2 hours ago), without burn in. Part II will be after burn in. In addition I will add comparisons to the SP Extreme when I get it as described in this thread...

    Will a "better" amp help clipping?

    I am listening to a Bethoven sonata (Barenboim, Deutche Gramophon recording). I transfered it lossless to my iPod and I'm using HD595 and HD650 on a PA2V2. If I go past 60% on the pot, I have terrible clipping in the lows and then the highs as well. It's solo piano, so it's nice to listen to it...

    Presonus Central Station vs. Marantz SA8001 DAC w/ video

    As some of you know, I have been enjoying a PCS and an SA8001 for a couple of weeks. I hooked up the SA8001 through analog and digital (Toslink) on the PCS and did some A/B to see how the two DAC's sound. I think I like the SA8001 better. If anything the PCS adds some db and clips all the time...

    Woo 6 vs SP Extreme worth the extra $?

    I'm looking into experiencing a tube amp (only have the Presonus Central Station right now). I have the HD650 and will get the K701 as well. I don't care to start tube rolling, I just want something that sounds really good with me headphones (better than the Presonus). Is the extra money worth...

    Cetron/Tungsol 7236

    Ok, where is everyone getting these? I searched all over the hundreds of links posted on this forum for tube sites. I can't find these tubes anywhere and you guys are getting them left and right and everyone says "can be very easily located on-line". I even searched ebay for 7236 and I get...

    Presonus Central Station to balanced HD650

    Is this going to work, if I use the TSR main out of the presonus. I've been reading the DA10 and balanced HD650 thread. Is the output of the Presonus strong enough to drive the HD650? If not, what kind of balanced amp do I need to try this out?

    Marantz SA8001 or Sony SCD-CE595 + Presonus CS? + Triplite Online UPS?

    Second combo would be a bit more expensive, but more versatile. From what I've read here, looks like there will be no significant difference in SACD. But what about redbook? I listen to Classical and Jazz mostly (lossless), but also some pop and rock (which is not lossless). Headphones will...

    HD650 + MPX3 overkill for SCD-CE595?

    Hi all. I've been following this forum and reading reviews on equipment for about a year. I do not own a good system yet. I listen to iPod and computer, but I have about 20 sets of headphones and a small protable amp. I would like to go a little further into the audiophile world and explore...

    PX100 compared to HD497

    I own the HD497, ER-6i and Grado 60. I'm planning on getting the PX100 for portability (the ER-6i is a totally different story, although it's portable). My question is: What can I expect in comparison to the HD497? Less bass? Different soundstage? More noise (both in and out)? Anything else...
