Quote: Very interested in this also.

Quote: I've contacted Jack. Tax is included in the price (or that was what I gleaned from his email) and pick up is not available. But if tax isn't an issue I don't mind shipping. I've basically decided there are two routes: the Little Dot mk III and the wa6. If I get a woo I might as well...

High impedence generally refers to 250/300/600 ohm phones. 40 ohms would be considered low impedence.

Which version of the 880s do you have? I've been doing the same research and most advice has been to amp them well first, and then add a DAC later. Also, don't buy 'compromise' equipment you'll just want to upgrade later. I would say the mark III and then add a DAC if you are still unsatisfied...

Hi, Sonq, the wa6 has an output transformer, which means it can drive both high and low impedence headphones well. My impression is that the wa6 will drive high impedence headphones just as well, and possibly better, than the wa3. The Sophia tube in the wa6 is supposed to be incredible. Color me...

Quote:   Yeah it is hard to find info from someone who owns or has heard both a lot. I almost am forgetting about the DV just to make things easier. I wonder where exactly WA ships from and if it'd be possible to pick it up in person. I heard they are in NYC and it'd save on shipping (and...

Thanks for the reply. I thought that the wa3+ might have been replaced by the wa3 and also see that the PDPS is now standard on the w6. But I haven't been able to find much of a comparison between the w3 and w6. I thought I had looked through the forum, but if you remember a few thread titles to...

Yep-- it was too good to pass up. Now I just need to find an amp. Little Dots and Woos are all making a strong argument for themselves. And when has a budget ever been firm on here?    I posted a thread trying to get some more information on Woos in the full-size amp section, so hopefully I...

I have searched the net and through the forums (although I confess I haven't read the entire woo owners thread) and I haven't really been able to find many detailed comparisons of the three amps. In fact, the 3+ isn't even on woo audio's website.   Additionally, there seem to be a lot of...

The one and only bump, to bring this back from the third page and hopefully get a few more decisions before I empty my wallet :) I just saw the thread for 600ohm 880s for $250 at B&H and jumped on it-- $40 less than amazon and I don't know when the price will go back up. So now I'm just looking...

Bombarde, it is good to hear such positive things about the 880s. I've definitely read people calling them flat and fatiguing on the forums(or 'life sucking' :) in this thread), which would be a tremendous disappointment!   n3rdling, I looked into electrostats after I saw your reply. I am...

I am reading the 880/600 thread with interest. I am now thinking these could be a very good set of headphones for me and am considering the rest of the setup. So if I got the 880/600 which I've found for $300-$350 (depending on how sketchy the source is), I have $250-$300 for an amp or amp and...

Thanks for the tip on the uDAC. I could get a uDAC, little dot and the 880s for only a little over my budget. Also the 250ohm 880s are much less than the 600ohm most places I saw. Is the 600ohm that much better?   I do have an iPod but I honestly haven't used it in maybe a year. I almost...

Hi and thanks for the reply. The more I read about the m50s, the more I think they are the right choice. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.    As for the headphones for myself, I think you are right. I just wasn't sure whether just headphones + amp straight from my...

Edit: I know how boring a wall of text can be in a thread, so I cut some things out and bolded the important parts just to make it a little easier. Also I changed the title to hopefully make it a little more interesting. Thanks!    Hi, all,     First of all, this is a really informative...
