Well I do have a multimeter so I best get using it. I really hope it is just a faulty wire. That would be great.   Thanks for the advice all.

Hi all,   My Beyerdynamic DT880 has died on the left channel. I am not sure what it is yet but I am thinking the driver might have died.   Would you guys consider it worth it to find replacement parts or just buy a new headphone?   Thanks

Well Guys, I finally bought a Juli@ a few months ago but was holding of installing it waiting for Vista and Juli@ drivers for Vista. After a few issues with the beta drivers I got it working. I must say I was fantastically suppried. The sound is absolutly amazing. The long long wait was...

Ok. I'm aware that the best match for the woo3 are the Sens HD650. Numerous people have said that. Maybe I'll pick them up later along the line. Next step will be tube rolling and buying a new interconnection. Regarding sound cards for the pc. Is there anyone you would recommend...

Does this mean that this could be the WA6?

Hi all, First post here. I’ve been in contact with Mr Woo for purchase of a Woo3. Asked him about future models and he said a WA6 would be available shortly and an upgraded STAX amp. Hope Mr Woo won't be angry with me for sharing this info.
