    Hello to all Wooowners fellas! As I said the other day, as of now my WA22 is my second headphone ampli because I recently bought an incredible (also for the price because it costs more than ten times the WA22!) pre ampli (the German-made Klimo Parsifal;maybe in the U.S.A. it is not known) in two...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    Hello, I have a very high-end system (as source Naim 555 + 2 555 PS power supply, WA22 as second headphone ampli and Senn HD 800 as haedphone), Recently a very old friend of mine (he taught me my first steps on learning to play guitar way back in the '80s!) came to my home to listen to my audio...

    Hello everybody from Italy! After a long hiatus (due to the sad loss of my father) I am come back to read and, sometimes, write in this beatiful thread! I have a lot of news in my high-end gear and, to tell the truth, my WA22 is currently my second best headphone amplifier and it shines on my...

    Has this ever happened to you? Sounds GREAT and then.... not so much.

    Well for me it happens every time I make some upgrade in my gear. Last year I have bought a French CD player YBA, a very good only CD player (before it I listened to my music through a Marantz universal player): when I first listened to my YBA I thought: "Wow, what a sound!", Than, the day after...

    Quote: Sigh, sometimes your posts make my head turn because I don't really know what advice to follow: on page 871 SilentOne says that for him EML 5U4G is better than Sophia Princess, now bobeau says that for him 5U4G has a sound very similar to the Sophia and than the old EML 274 Solid is...

    Hello dear friends, I have decided to relax (well, at least for some months) to let breathe again my poor wallet and to enjoy all my precious CD's until, I think, next Springtime (more or less)! Then I will certainly feel the urge to buy an headphone ampli to equal (if possible) my Naim 555...

      Quote: Hello SilentOne, maybe I didn't explain very well in English my theory. My friend (if you want take a look at his shop here is the link: www.gianfaldoni.com) doesn't make by himself tube rings because every shop that sells electric things (such as bulbs, electric socket, etc)...

      Quote: Thanks to you all for your "wise" words. About tube rings, as I have already said in my last post, these Duende are perfectly equals to my tube rings (oops, to tell the truth, my tubes are black and are priced only 0,90 euros a pair). Really guys, you have been very kind to...

    Quote: Well, for this kind of things my high end retailer (and friend) is very honest and competent. I have asked him for some tube rings to put on my TS BG RP and instead of selling me his "branded" tube rings (at the price of about 35 euros for a couple) he took me at an electrician's...

      Quote: Well guys, I am just having a nervous breakdown! It is very nice to read this forum and to partecipate to some discussions, but sometimes it drives me really mad (sorry if it is not the right English word). Here I am: in this last period I have spent a large amount of money...

    Quote: Hello, I didn't ever see on Jack's site EML tubes on sale! Here in Europe there is an excellen German seller that offers a guarantee of 12 months (or 2,000 hours) so I think I will buy my EML 5U4G mesh plate from him to replace my Sophia Princess on my WA22. In your opinion EML is...

    Quote: I have ordered my WA22, last November, and, at the same time I sent to Jack half the sum requested, then, after a month (as stated by Jack in his first answer to my ordering email), I have received my WA22 here in Italy (and keep in mind that it was Christmas's time!) In my first...

    To all WA22 owners: Hi guys, do you have in mind Jack's "Woo Audio amplifier comparisons" table? In the category "Euphonic" our ampli beats also the WA5 and the WA5-LE! What do you think about it? Do you agree with him? Also it would be interesting to know if Jack has compiled his...

    Quote: Hello guys and please excuse me if sometimes I write too much and I become boring! My WA22 is not plugged directly into the wall but it is plugged into a mains conditioner (the Italian's Nightingale) that give to it more body, presence, bass frequency and silence (and thus air)...

    Got the HD 800 ? What kinda music do you listen to most with it ?

      Quote: Yeah, I know that Naim cd 555 is way too expensive but in these last months I have decided to build my ultimate High-End System and since I am single, and my late dear mummy let me a good amount of money I have decided to invest part of it in my audio System: keep in mind that I...
