Exellent advice, thanks project86

I just ordered the RS1i about four months ago,and they are buttonless. Don't know about the RS2i

Thanks for your response giraffe.... I'll start looking for a quality CD player, as that's what I mainly listen to. I love head-fi, we have a wealth of knowledge at our finger tips and friendly members willing to share their experiences.

Glad I found this thread, I hope it's o.k. to post here. I have a 10-12 yr old Yamaha 6-disk cd changer to a Woo Audio WA6-SE. I'm wondering if I'm missing out on untapped potential of my headphones by not buying a dac. Also would it be better to buy a new quality CD player or a dac, or both. I...

Thanks Dubstep Girl,           Your short evaluation of the 5 headphones is the most acurate and honest of all the reviews I've read. I have 4 of the 5 you reviewed (sans akg) People make the dt990's out to be bass monsters, when really they're not. They are on par with the hd650, but when...

Evidently Woo Audio will be there also. I got a personal invitation from them on 04/04/12. Letting me know that they would be there from 04/13 - 04/15 Friday to Sunday :The Waldorf Astoria, Room # 15A. (originally Rm #1532, upgraded to Rm # 15A-supposedly much larger.) Address is: 301 Park...

Over simplifying is good.. "The ability of a car to accelerate while at speed "I understood. Thanks for the replies

Thanks Tomb,    If I understand correctly; while listening at a particular volume, if the music calls for more bass or quick transitions, a more powerful amp will be able to handle it without any degradation in sound quality.

I've been doing alot of research regarding best amp for my budget. After about a  month I finally took the plunge and ordered the wa6se. But I still have a basic question that I can't find an answer to... what does more power get you? The wa6 gets fabulous reviews, and if the wa6-se has the same...

Thank you Wapiti,  I will go to Audio Adviser and look around.

Hi all, I am about to purchase the wa6se,(after alot of reading and an email or two to Jack). He recommended tube upgrades which I will take his advise on, but I noticed that no power cord comes with the amp, just a jumper between power source and amp. I asked Jack about a power cord that he...

Anyone?

SilentOne, I'm within probably a few hours of buying a WA6 SE, and I'm wondering what your opinion of the amp is. I currently have a solid state amp and I know the wa6se isn't really tubey sounding compared to the wa2, but wondering if you have experience with other amps and how the wa6se sounds...

No, I like more of a dynamic amp with a touch of warmth, (I currently have a Kicas Caliente) and it appears the Woo wa6se might be just what I'm looking for... Thanks for your replies

thanks, that was a big concern of mine. How would you personally rate the wa6se with some of the other amps you may have heard, if any?

I find myself looking seriously at both the Woo WA2 and the WA6SE. I've read alot of threads regarding both and they seem to be exellent amps. $1000.00+ is alot of money to me, but I don't want to go the cheap route this time. I have both high and low impedence headphones ( grados sr325is...

I would say give the Denon ah-d2000 some consideration. They have great bass,( both quality and quantity), excellent for R&B, hip- hop, jazz. The treble is crystal clear without being piercing or harsh, they have a huge soundstage for opera, classical, big band. They're easy to drive but of...

I've owned my Kicas Caliente for approx. 2 years now, and am totally in love with it... It brings out the best of all my headphones. My Senn HD650, Denon AH-D2000, and Grado SR325is all sound fantastic when plugged into the Caliente. Then about six months ago I purchased the Audio Technica...

Thanks for the reply, I think we're always wondering if we're missing something. I'm glad I don't have to spend more money anytime soon.

Hi All,    I've been doing alot of reading about different set-ups, and I understand most things like ss amps vs tube amps, recabled headphones, and the purposes for these things. Can someone please explain the purpose of a "pre" amp and what difference does it make in a system,(to boost power...

Hi Beagle, I guess the journey is most of the fun...   Quote:

    Wow, They look impressive, nothing like stock sr80i's. It appears they might have the soundstage of the RS1's, but w/killer bass.

Thanks Mochan,    I'm glad you're enjoying your sr80i's, I've never heard modded ones..... sounds interesting.
