    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Quote: The Fisher is also very good with the HD800.  And I agree - not so good with the Audeze house sound.

    Still in business?  Been trying to get in touch with someone for a week about a B22.  No response at all.  I noticed the website hasn't been updated in a couple of months.  Anyone know?

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Quote: I had my Fisher X-100B restored by Paul at Tube Audio Design.  He also re-wired the headphone out direct to the 16 ohm taps.  My total investment after re-furb around $500.  I had a WA22 at the time to compare it to.  Honestly, there was / is very little difference.  Sold the Woo.

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Quote: Hmm...  For the labor and re-capping that's pretty good.  I have had several amps re-capped and that's not bad at all.  Of course, I didn't do it to re-sell and make money.

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Quote: I will agree with that.  I have one that I had totally re-capped, re-furbed, glue removed, speaker posts installed, IEC plug installed, etc. for a second system and it sounds fantastic.  Awesome head-amp also.  Have about $500 in it now.  Probably have to spend better than 2K or...

    New Audeze LCD3

    Quote: Yep.  I have tried them now on 4 different amps (some are vintage) with 2 dacs.  All are different.  They are very transparent.  Definite keepers.... very nice.

    The "Vintage vs. New Shoot-Out" in Birmingham, Oct. 20, 2011

    Hey guys, Thanks for the report. Next time you do one of these, give me a shout. I am pretty close by in MS. I am very much an off and on head-fier though. Been away from head-fi for a few months upgrading my speaker rig but I have been hanging out here again the last few days - have an LCD-3 on...

    Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

    Well, I hope no one gets offended for posting this here, but I assume that there may be some WA6 owners or other active posters / readers of this thread who might be interested.  I am selling my WA22 and it's posted in the for sale forum.  I recently had a vintage fisher amp completely...

      Quote: Thanks silentone.  Seems to me that was obvious.  I am aware of the rules, but as I said, many members here do this since woo owners are fond of these tubes.  Thought I would give the guys here first chance.  The tube is now sold btw.

      Quote: Great!  I think what some of us are trying to say though, is that since a lot of folks rightfully put a lot of weight into your opinions (myself included), that the WA22 can be tubed to enjoy with other headphones besides the HD800 or other bright cans.  Yes, it will always be...

        Quote: To me, the 5998 is a VERY euphonic tube in the WA22.  I think your perceptions will change some once you try the 7236.  It becomes much more neutral.  Also, possibly one of the sylvanias for 6sn7.

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Quote: The 717 sounds really nice with all of them, but not as refined sounding as the WA22 (which is as I expected.) Especially with the HD800.  Just more detail, lush tone. and transparency with the WA22 but the 717 has really good bass which warms up the HD800 nicely.   With the LCD-2...
