Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
I didn't hear it myself, but I would seriously consider the Holo Audio Spring. https://www.kitsunehifi.com/product/spring-3-dac/ There are some videos on Youtube reviewing it in detail, including technical capabilities.- nerone

New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
You are already using them unshielded, so I wouldn't bother with that. I'd either just put some sleeve over them or maybe even cut close to the end of the current sleeve.- nerone

Is the one on the left a WA6? Which one do you prefer? I have a WA6-SE and was thinking about getting the tuba.- nerone

If we weren't so distant I'd trade mine with yours. I'm waiting for them to have extra silver covers to see if they'd sell me one.- nerone

I'd love to get a Verité with burl wood, but right now they are out of reach for me as my currency is very undervalued compared to USD, but I'll keep the in sight. Thanks!- nerone

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Not even with the adapters. At least not with the ones sold by Woo. There is some information that they work with special adapters, but this will void the warranty and may damage the amp. You cant lower the output impedance of the amplifier because it's a transformer coupled amplifier, so the...- nerone

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
I can't say anything about their sound, but Feliks audio headphone amps are all OTL, so they only work well with reasonably high impedance headphones. Doesn't mean they won't work with low impedance ones, but the sound will suffer a bit, specially in the low end. They recommend about 80-100ohms...- nerone

Speaker amps for headphones
Hi, I just received the switch box. I didn't have time to install it yet, but I had time to test it's connection with a multimeter, and I'm happy I did. I guess as to prevent any damage to transformer coupled tube amplifiers, they decided to put some resistors inside. They are 100ohm/10w...- nerone

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
I second that in a way. Although my LCD-X is great on the WA6-SE, it like it even more using speaker amps with some resistors to lower the power a bit and the noise floor.- nerone

I didn’t test both in the same setup, but in my experience the difference is negligible. I also read the same impressions in other places.- nerone

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
About the colour I like the red and black more than the previous grey/black and silver because it is different in audio equipment. What I'd really like is a Schiit colour (whatever it is, even ugly brown), something no one else does, like Manley does with it's blue-ish equipments. Schiit is...- nerone

Audeze LCD-X
I agree that they sound reasonably good from almost anything but they do get better as the amp gets better. The first amp I used it with was a Musical Fidelity M1HPAP. It was a big improvement over a Meridian Explorer. Being a UK brand, I guess you can easily find one used. The second step up...- nerone

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
I'm suggesting that maybe we can hear things that can't be measured. Or maybe we are not measuring all things that matter to our hearing system, which includes our brain. Or are you suggesting that we are already able to measure everything that is to be measured? But my actual point is that I...- nerone

Me and some friends were comparing the Bifrost 2 sourced from a CEC TL1 CD player and from a NUC running Roon Rock. The USB sounded better than SPDIF, less harsh sounding. Not that the SPDIF was harsh per se, but the USB was slightly better.- nerone

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
Computers and amplifiers are made of the same components, but achieve completely different results. The same can be said about other things, like cables, their construction may interfere with the power signal. Keep in mind that the 60hz on your outlet isn't pure, there is some ripple that may...- nerone

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
Dogs are able to listen to audio frequencies you don't, does it mean the dog hearing is not true? Just because you don't believe something or you are not capable of experiencing it does't mean it's not true. Engines need break in period to output it's full power. But they are another thing...- nerone
