Are any of the seminars from this CANJAM available on YouTube? I cannot find them.

Looking to improve from Spotify premium, I signed up for a trial of Amazon HD. Then I discovered that my streamer, Bluesound Node, will only allow Amazon HD thru the BluOS system which is very clunky. I really want to avoid that route. Canceled the Amazon. Actually, only Spotify and Tidal can...

I have been streaming Spotify Premium thru a Bluesound Node into my RME (and then into my headphones.) I would like to increase my fidelity. I read that Tidal won't give me any improvement over Spotify Premium because the RME doesn't handle MQA. Is there an alternative (Qobuz or Deezer) that is...

By "user experience" you mean feel and construction quality?

Is anyone using an Audiophile Ninja SE cable instead of the stock rubber one? How do they compare sound wise? Thanks.

Caught myself listening simultaneously both to my speakers and my cans, and enjoying it. Adds additional width to the soundstage. My set up is a bit unique in that I listen to desktop electrostatic speakers (Monsoon MM-2000). My headphones are Hifiman Ananda originals.

Got it. Thanks.

BTW which filter are you using? Lately I have been using NOS with my Amanda.

Thanks so much. I will try it out!

Firesign: I am also using an RME ADI-2 DAC with my Ananda. As an alternative to no EQ, I am curious as to what EQ profile you have found works with the Ananda.

Regarding driving an Arya: I just purchased a Hifiman Ananda after the NY CANJAM. Upgraded from a HE5xx. Still early. However, my WA-6 is driving them fine. Admittedly, I don't listen very loud. Tube set: Mullard CV593 & GE cleartop 6FD7's.

Congratulations. I purchased my used WA6 1st gen. 4 years ago. No problems at all. If I were you, I would just plug it in and play. If you have issues, then contact Woo Audio.

My favorite: Mullard CV593 GZ-32 on WA6

Interesting. I don't know the significance of this small sample size, but if you take a quick look on eBay, currently the white letter pairs of Sylvania VT-231 for sale far outnumber the green lettered pairs.
