Thanks, not Nola's. They are Totem Rainmakers.

Rearranged the listening area. Added some minor new Schiit to allow switching between headphones and speakers.  

  Quote: Thanks, and as mentioned the term is Bokeh. And for those interested it was taken using a 135/1.8 lens at f2.8 1/13sec ISO800.

Current setup. Not shown, comfy chair left, great view of the woods behind the house out of 4 windows.   Laptop (lossless) -> Foobar 2000 (wasapi) -> Stello DA100 -> WA6SE -> HD-800     Steve

Something shiny new to join the blackness of the WOO....   Now I have to start re-listening to all my reference tracks again and do alot of 650 vs 800 comparisons. Initial impressions compared to 650's from WA6SE w/stock tubes.   More open (like removing cotton from my ears after...

Quote: Have that in my DVD collection and watch/listen to it every couple of months, as you have so accurately stated Brilliantly conceived and performed  

It's dark, looking at my reflection in the window, soft glow of tubes from the Woo, Pink Floyd playing, waiting for my wife to get home. Life is good.   Tomorrow will see the Pink Floyd box set arrive, and comparative listening begins...

Quote: Where have I been hiding, the entire Pink Floyd library remastered?!?!?  They are a staple of listening on the WA6SE. So now that I have mentioned Woo, I see there are Experience, Immersion and Discovery Box set (all studio recordings remastered). I think the Discovery Box Set is a...

Quote: +1 for Laurie Anderson  

Adding in Cheryl Bentyne, first heard her as a member of The Manhantan Transfer. Listening to her album Talk of the Town now, light jazz/vocals.    

I love this site.... Great thread and lots of great recommendations. Since i got my new head-fi setup I have been going back through my collection and hitting alot of jazz that i have not listened to in a long time.   Bill Frisell Bob James Mingus Jeff Lorber Gary Burton on and...

  Quote:  - We are of the same oppinion. I had an argument with a friend that drives prii, going on about the great mileage and how can I drive a car with a big V8 that gets terrible milage, bla bla bla. My response, I use less gas than you as I work from home and drive a couple times a...

I am officially a Woo owner now.   After a walk in the park with my wife this morning, we were discussing if we should go out for lunch or wait for FedEX to arrive. Before I could answer a van pulled up in front of the house and the driver was carrying a box labeled WOO AUDIO. What perfect...

We interrupt this thread for a very important announcement.   The WA6SE has been shipped   Now I must wait until next week for it to arrive. Things to do... setup listening area... clean off comfy chair... decide what to listen to first...   The excitement is building. My wife...

Quote: Thanks, really looking forward to listening to this amp in a couple weeks.   As for motorsports. I am the track photographer for Atlanta Dragway, do some shooting at Road Atlanta for a friends race team. There is no such thing as too much horsepower in a car as long as it can...

Quote:   Thanks, how thoughtless to not include details Color: Black Tubes: 100% stock to start with, tube rolling is too much to deal with initially. Although I think a Sophia Princess may be in order down the road.  

Adding to the Thank You Head-Fi WA owners. After reading much of this thread and the many reviews and comparisons of Woo amps, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a WA 6SE to go with my Stello DA100 and HD-650's all being fed lossless audio via fubar.   Thanks to everyone here that...

I am using a case that came with my color calibration hardware/software. It is the perfect size to put the original Senn foam in and have room for cables and misc stuff. I made a cutout for ipod/nano, have the LOD, portable amp, charger, earbuds in there. It does not have a lock on it, other...

No case yet either. I also am liking the plain black case.

Yes, with my basic DIY skill set and a few blocks of wood, some felt, and silicone pads from Michaels craft store. Total cost about $14.   Quote:

I'll throw in my 2 cents. After listening to Paradigm Studio 20, PSB Image B, Totem Rainmaker and Rega R1 bookshelf speakers, I ended up with a pair of Totem Rainmakers for my desktop speaker rig. I am using them nearfield and they sound wonderful. I also tried them out in a larger room which...

Quote: Originally Posted by dfkt I use the HD 650 with a Woo 6 at home, and while that beefy tube amp of course gives them a different 'flavor' of sound, it doesn't drive the HD 650 'better' than the Arrow, considering aspects like dynamics, channel separation (soundstage), bass...

First brief listening. Like Hellenback I am using this amp to drive HD650's. So I have iPhone (lossless music) > whiplash audio LOD > Arrow > Blue Dragon Cable > HD650. This little sliver of an amp can really grab hold of the 650's and push them. Started with some familiar albums that I...
