    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Looking for some opinions. I have only learned about Toxic Cables from reading this thread. I'm thinking about giving them a try. I have a Hifiman 400i used with a WOO Audio6 amp. My preference is for warmth with detail and soundstage. I really like my current setup. I listen to lots of vinyl...

    From Sennheiser HD 650 to HiFiMAN HE-400i... there's no way back!

    I am also a HD650 owner for several years. I've always been interested in planar headphones. I just ordered a demo pair of 400i for $250. I'm looking forward to seeing what they are all about. I'm looking forward to mating them with my WA6. Great review. Very informative and honest. It's one...

    The Cayin C5 portable power house.

    I use an iPod classic when air traveling (weekly) right now with Paradigm earbuds. Would a headphone amp be beneficial in this application? I am currently using a FIIO 7 and to be honest lately I don't know if I can tell the difference between using the amp and straight from the iPod. The FIIO...

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

    Last month I received a WA6 from the family for my birthday. I had been reading this thread for a while and already had a Brimar 5z4g on hand. The amp sounded nice and I was enjoying it. Decided to get the adapters for 6SN7 and got a pair of EH's. It sounded better than stock tubes but I wasn't...

    Is there any general thoughts on which 6sn7s work well in the WA6?

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

    I contacted Woo yesterday and asked if I could bye the 6sn7 adapters without the tubes. They said I could. They also told me that the adapters when ordered with the tubes ship with either GE or RCA tubes. Was hoping someone could chime in on those tubes and how they perform in the WA6? Thanks...

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

    Thanks for the comments. I know I will get the adapters at some point. I kind of gleaned from this thread that the 6sn7s were a nice option to have. I know it's a bit putting the horse before the cart but I already picked up 2 Brimar rectifier tubes from Langrex. They have gotten such rave...

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

    I am close to getting a WA6. I have been trying to decide whether to get the 6sn7 adapter. I have other tube gear and realize that tube sonics are dependent on the gear, among other things. For those of you using the 6sn7s in the WA6 what is the difference compared to the stock 6DE7? Is it a...

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

    I've been reading through this thread and there is some great info. I currently have a Schiit Valhalla. I like it and use it with HD650s. I was wondering if anyone has had direct comparison with the WA6 or WA 6SE? The Valhalla is nice but I'm looking for a bit more wow factor. The Woo's have...

    Best Tube Amps?

    I am using the Schiit Valhalla with SH650s. They sound great together. I have put some golden lion 6922's in the Valhalla and they have taken the amp to a new level. The tubes cost almost a third of the amp price which could seem silly but they really sound that good, I feel it's worth it. The...

    Schiit Owners Unite

    I have had a Valhalla for a few months now and really enjoy it with Sennheiser 650s. Since it is a tube rolling model I decided to see what some tube rolling would do. I decided to go all out and got a pair of Golden Lion 6922s. The difference over the stock tubes is really to my liking. Much...

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

    First post on the forum. I am very interested in the WA6-SE. I currently am using the Schiit Valhalla with Sennheiser 650's. It's very nice but I find the sight of those big tubes to be addictive, and beautiful. As silly as that might sound. I wonder if they sound as good as they look. Has...
