I got the Holo May KTE and an Innuos ZENith last week and they've transformed this amp for me. Ordered some WE300Bs today. Very excite!

🧘🏻‍♂️ Pure zen! What he said 👆🏻

Will do! Have only tried XLR with Susvara so far, and that sounded really nice!

You talking to me? haha I'm going to do a review of the Aegis and I'll compare it with the Envy and WA23, but in the meantime, some short term impressions would be... Two words have come to mind a lot while listening to the Aegis thus far: intoxicating and liquid. The imaging sounds especially...

I know. They need the midrange.

Aegis has landed. I've been listening to it a lot the last couple of days. The sound is super nice - different from my other tube amps, which I appreciate. I gotta say - I love the looks and whole vibe of it, too. The copper & green colors on the transformers are very nautical looking to me and...

Got these coming in! :) Thrilled!

Ah man, you're tempting me... I'm actually considering whether or not to get the WE300Bs. I've been considering for awhile because, for me, Envy is missing that emotional midrange. If WEs would bring that, I'd be thrilled.

Hey there - I've got the WA23 and the Envy. In short, the Envy has a weightier sound - sounds amazing for things like drums and upright bass. It also has a very airy, wide soundstage. The WA23 in contrast has a gorgeous midrange. Less wide soundstage than Envy, but more deep sounding to my...

Got DHL tracking Tuesday and it's already in my state! Delivery was estimated for Monday, but it looks like it may be coming early. Yay!

Good to know, thank you!

While we're on the subject, is anyone using an iFi Power Station? Thinking of getting one since it's more reasonably priced. My Envy sounds like its got some RFI sounds happening and hum that's worse at certain times of the day than others. None of my other amps have this issue, which is...

Ok, this is great - I'm not actually hearing any noise. And, exactly, there's so many variables. Hard to make a choice sometimes because of them. I'm think I can hear when it is the recording though - easier to tell when the song or albums ends and it goes away completely. I guess I'm curious...

I find this post fascinating as I'm in need of a new power strip. Was going to get another Audioquest, but was recommended an iFi Power Station instead for the same reason you wrote - cutting out noise. Curious if you've had experience with it, or if you're using something else to help the noise...

Another vote for Caldera Suedes. I put them on my Caldera and loved them so much that it made me want to try them again on the AC. Listening to an album this evening on the Weiss DAC502/Woo WA-23 setup with the AC and it's awesome. Bass is still incredible - but takes the bloom back tastefully...

Hey thanks man! We'll be May/WA-23 buddies...

Finally ordered a May KTE from Kitsune after about a year and a half of deciding which DAC to get! Very excited to listen but realize it'll take some time to settle in.

Agreed! The way instruments sound on Caldera is my favorite and great for this kind of album.

Duuuude I was just listening to this on the Caldera the other day! Great musicianship that sounds great on the Caldera, agreed.

Pavel was great buyer - nice guy, had great communication and paid fast!

Aegis + Caldera (or any other headphone I tried with it) was one of my favorite CanJam pairings.

Wish I had! Too many great options, haha... I'm inclined to pre-order this DAC though regardless. A tube R2R DAC sounds right up my preference alley.

Wise words.

I know - wish I had jumped on it!

Because I like the look of balloons!
