    Dubstep Girl's Massive 5AR4/5R4/5U4G Rectifier Review/Comparison! (Rectifer Tube Rolling thread)

    Thanks Joe for your "tube thoughts". I will be anxious to hear your comparisons between the we422a and the we274. Did you mean to say we274B or are you looking at the we 274 A? I am just about to pull the trigger on an upgrade rectifier tube for my WA 6SE using a pair of Fostex th900 headphones...

    Quote: Thanks hodgiy, I too am not convinced that this makes any difference. I am certainly aware of the psychological construct of cognitive dissidence with respect to purchasing high dollar toys (i.e., the more one pays for an item, the more likely that person will perceive the worth of...

    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    Ok folks, at the risk of getting flamed here, I gotta ask. I am considering the idea of a power cord upgrade on my WA6SE. I have read the many generic comments on other threads in this forum on this topic with respect to other audio gear. It seems to be quit a controversial topic at best. Also...

    Quote: I know that this is getting way off topic (sorry). On some eq sources (plug ins and cheap outboard eqs), when you increase (or decrease) a frequency band, you may also unintentionally be affecting the next bands of frequency aligned to either side of  the frequency you are trying to...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    The TH900’s arrived today. I usually don’t write reviews for my new toys.

    Quote: Sometimes the recorded material we listen to has not been recorded well, or was not compressed correctly when it was mastered (or the material might not have been mastered at all). Even worse, the problem can occur if listening to music via a mp3 source that is 16 bit and...

    Ultrasone Pro 2900 Thread

    Hello, I thought I would share my short experience with the 2900's. Upon arrival, I immediately toss them on my cd changer to get some hours of burn in. I didn't even put them on my head to give a quick listen. After I had about 35 hours of burn in time, I started to listen to some of my fav...

    Hello Group, I am new to the forum but have been following this thread for some time. I own a pair of Ultrasone 2900. I have been shopping for a headphone amp to pair with these headphones. I am leaning toward the WA6SE as I am trying to roll off the high frequency of these headphones just a...
