    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Hi All,   I wanted to leave some public feedback here regarding the quality of the customer service that I received from Trevor at Norne Audio.  About three years ago I purchased a cable from Norne Audio for my then LCD-2s which I have since upgraded to LCD-XCs.  I love the cable and have used...

    Tidal Lossless Streaming

    From what I understand, TIDAL offers some of the best compensation for artists in the business, which may account for some of the pricing strategy.  I don't really know about how well Netflix compensates artists/studios, but considering the fact that their CEO is complete ******* tool, I would...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    In a word:  Soundstage.  The hd800 might give you a bit more detail than the th900, but I think that depends quite a bit on what amp/dac you have.

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    I believe it means they are changing the transformers.  Amorphous core presumably means they are using an amorphous (non-crystalline) core material for the transformer.  I don't know what that does in terms of the sound produced.  Based on my experience with Craig, though, it will sound fantastic!

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    I don't think you can go wrong either way!  I was listening to my 2a3 last night with TH900s and even after listening to the amp almost every day for 10 months it still completely blows me away with how good it sounds.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Wow.  A balanced TH900?  I wonder if it could possibly sound better than my SE version.  The ears boggle.

    Audeze LCD-X

    Although it's just a bit above your budget, I think the Woo Audio WA7 is a good choice with these cans.  I had the combo for a while and it was awesome.  Woo amps are on sale for this week, putting the WA7 at $900 and free shipping.

    I was just checking the Woo site and I don't see their CD transport anywhere.  Does anyone know if they discontinued it?

    Is this amp out of production already?  It's listed on his site.

    Epic Woo WA5 / Eddie Current 4-45 Shootout

    lojay, great review.  Your experience with the 445 and HE6 is similar to what I've found with my 2A3 MkIV and the HE6.  My amp just does not do justice to those cans.  That said, I quite enjoy the amp with the HD800 (unmodded), LCD-X and TH900.  All three cans are excellent with the 2A3 amp, as...

    Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

    I had a pair of the CV181 TIIs for my WA22 and one of the tubes died inside of 6 months.  PSvane has a reputation for having sporadic problems, and I guess I ended up with a bad one.  Before they died I think the NOS upgrades that I bought from Jack were better than the PSvane tubes.  It's been...

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    I listened to someone's HE6s at the Head-Fi meet in the Bay Area in February when I picked up my MKIV and they sounded pretty darn good to me.  It is possible that the amp may be a tiny bit underpowered for those cans, but not much.  I compared to his solid state amp that was putting out tons of...

    I think my head would explode if I put the volume at 12 o'clock with my LCD-Xs.

    P.S. I'm not trying to badmouth Glenn in any way.  I never asked him to correct the problem or reported the issue to him in any way.  I imagine he would have tried to make it right.  Instead I just bought another pair from Woo, which worked straight away.

            I will take an alternative view.  I bought a pair of 6F8G adapters from Glenn that never worked, so it was money flushed down the toilet for me.  My Woo adapters work just fine...

    Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

    I think upgraded tubes are important for a WA22 (I can't comment on the WA6SE), but I would personally steer away from the Sophia rectifier and go with something else.  I have found that both the EML 5U4G and several NOS versions (in particular Mullard GZ34 and WE422a) are better options than...

    The Leben CS300XS Thread

    I had a somewhat different experience.  I found them easy to deal with.  I live in the SF Bay Area and Tone Imports put me in contact with a dealer in LA.  Through the LA dealer I had the amp shipped to me directly from Japan.  It only took about 5 weeks from first contact to unboxing the amp...

    I've tried a number of tube combinations with my 22, and the group that I've settled on are WE 421A power tubes, TS 6F8G drivers, and a WE 422 rectifier.  I also like the EML mesh 5U4G almost as well as the WE 422.  You can read DGs thoughts on the subject; I think she and I agree on the...

    My WA22 is pretty quiet with 6F8Gs.  The transformers are not quiet, but the tubes definitely are.

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    No balanced inputs, but it does have balanced out on the front, in addition to a SE output.  Craig told me that if you use the balanced output, you get a true balanced signal out, but that if you use the SE, you are getting SE out.  He also said that if you are running both outputs at the same...

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    At the NorCal meet last month when I picked up the amp, Craig told me that the guy that makes ElectraPrints is not longer in business, or perhaps it was that he is no longer making OPTs.  Either way, I agree with Stapsy:  they are not longer available, to the best of my understanding.

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    I had Craig upgrade, or at least change, the stock output transformers on my amp.  I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, but there it is.  My amp has ElectraPrint OT with silver secondary coils.  The stock OTs are Hammonds, I think.
