    Woo WES or New BH as ES-1 Replacement?

    I'd like to replace my faulty ES-1 amp with another with equivalent SQ (and fewer problems). Before pulling the trigger, I thought I'd ask for opinions from the Head-FI community. Both the Woo WES and the new BH get positive nods from those in the know. I will not get a chance to listen to...

    Singlepower amp registry

    Hi, I have an ES-1 which I purchased late in 2006 (ordered with two Stax headphone jacks instead of one Stax and one HE-90 jack). The unit arrived a few months late but without the additional Stax jack. Mikhail sent a corrected audio section in 2007 (again months later than promised). I also...

    Using Stax Omega II with Stax 006t Amplifier
