Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Thanks for the input. I've been looking at the HD 650 and LCD-2 as open-ear upgrades to my HD 595s.

Need help finding closed ear headphone for Woo WA6 $500-$1200
I've am running a non SE WA6, currently with stock tubes and HD598. I'm looking to upgrade tubes and cans. I've read in the forums that HD650, T1, LCD-2 can match well with this amp, but I am looking for a closed headphone. Fostex TH900 would be great, but too much $. I listen to indie rock...- radiomir
