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

    Yeah, the low impedence switch is really only for headphones with 100 ohms or less.

    Or do what I did and go for a copper/spc hybrid braided cable purely for aesthetics. I don't think I noticed a difference sonically, but it sure looks gorgeous.

      Better upgrade to the HD800 then. No clamping pressure there!

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    I don't know why people dislike their looks so much though. I actually don't mind them at all. Looks very steampunk and industrial to me (and as a result, gives off an indestructible vibe). I'm more concerned about the weight and comfort for long periods of use to be perfectly honest.

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Hahaha, at least until the credit card statement arrives right?  Also, congrats on the baby! Have you had a look at some of the closed back cans like the Fostex TH900 yet? The Abyss leaks quite a bit of sound from past experiences.

    Your wife is actually willing to listen to you talk about $5000 headphones?  I can see why you married her!

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Probably a bit of both. I think what you said is a very viable justification why SOME users prefer the Abyss to the SR-009. Similarly, I am sure there are SOME users who prefer the SR-009 to the Abyss for almost identical reasons.  At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal...

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

      Yeah, I hadn't heard of it either before when I first listened to it. But I won't forget it anytime soon that's for sure. And I don't think it's necessarily a solution. It just seems like the HD 800 sounds better with more tube amps. I am sure there are plenty of SS amps that sound great...

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Hahahaha, you're definitely dreaming very big! Do let me know if you do hear a difference! Anyway in terms of best sounding amps for the HD 800.... I've yet to hear the WA234 (although I think it's quite ridiculous if used purely for headphones) so I won't even go there. I've found all my...

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Haha, and I do like yours also! Although I have to admit the actual character I borrowed from an image someone posted on head-fi once and then I photoshopped in the background because the original was too bland.  And indeed, the HD 800's bass is actually truly amazing with the right...

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Hi Phil, To clarify, the TOTL amps that I have used with the SR-009 are the BHSE and WOO WES primarily. I did try either the SRM-727 or SRM-007tll when I was in Japan (I don't remember which) but it was not in an ideal listening environment and it wasn't for nearly enough time.  Quote...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

    If you can run balanced, you could always go the Mjolnir. Otherwise the Phonitor or Auditor are pretty good for the job also... but seriously, there are so many amps out there that could fit your liking, you could even build one or get someone to build one for you just to your likings. The...

    LOL processor? What!? FreqPhase as far as I understand is just re-positioning the drivers and altering the bore lengths for each respective driver to make sure they are phase that way. Much more lo-fi and less likely to stuff up.
