I would heavily recommend the WireWorld Eclipse Platinum. I happen to have a 3 meter pair designed and targeted for the "LCD 3" that I would sell for a reasonable price! Let me know if you would be interested. Enjoy music Harold

I been around long enough time in this hobby and can only say after owning many different Woo products they have served me well. I presently have a Woo WA5 and this has to be if not the best sounding amp with absolutely no issues what so ever. As a matter of fact if this same Amp was...

True lushness is a matter of taste and that slow down effect can be quite intriguing depending on genre of music. I listen to traditional Jazz, blues and classical so the warmest is nice. Thank you for your tube analysis and do agree use what is sent for burn in before experimenting. The whole...

Lust is good depending on your setup, in my case no. I already have allot of tubes and do not need that extra lust. Smooth is a good thing that determine if garbage in garbage out get more easily exposed! I will probably lean towards the 5.1 because of my setup. Is the 5.1 tube depended; if so...

Thank you for the reply. I have determined that yes the unit clone of the real Audio Note has all the making of a great musical unit. I had the opportunity to chat with Brian very knowledgeable and helpful individual. As far as sound I would assume it is lust and warm? I have a AMR DP-777SE that...

Thank you so much for the detailed journey congrads on your accomplishment. I have never heard the "AKN DAC 5.1" but feel that it has full potential. How is the unit after a month absent without update. I might want to go this direction and join your journey. Please advise a little more on sound...

Well depending on your selection of headphones would determine how match the amp. The WA5 certainly does well with low and high impedance phones, plus if you choose the 009 it will drive them well with the wee exciter. 

No comparsion

Great choice very open sounding tube.

If I think and assume what your question is and if so the answer is "yes" you can still surf the web without any issues. Remember the modem/router is only a multiple high speed data output switch that allow one main data stream input from your high DSL that follows the internal electronic...

I have tried all woo products and have owned most. The WA5 is in its own league for sure. Has a big and very liquid sound that can drive all headphones.   Enjoy music!

I also absolutely agree Ethernet output from given modem U-Verse or Comcast whom ever your internet provider to the PWD. I have tried both hard wired USB connection and wireless bridge and found the wireless bridge better with my music server directly from computer.   Enjoy music

That is so true. I have also experimented with various cables of high grade copper and when I went to the Wireworld Platinum silver it made my LCD2 completely different. highs were sweeter and much more transparent.   Enjoy music!

Absolutely on the money. As a Electrical Engineer my training has allow me to appreciate the craftsmen of Woo product. Fine job.   Enjoy music! 

I know we are all entitle to our option. Quite Frankly I agree it is nice to know that Woo designs and wind there own transformers from scratch. It brings it own character to the hobby, bottom line it sounds fantastic and if the wheel is not broken why fix it!   Enjoy music!

Point made and maybe Woo will take constructed criticism and modified/correct concerns.

I agree the WA234 is quite expense and is hard to justify that price.  However the discussion is the WA5/LE.

I have used the Wireworld platinum on the LCD2 and tell you what this has to be best I have heard them for sure! Completely different sounding headphone.   Enjoy music!

Okay I understand your point, but analyzing the true value of the original WA5/LE they were given away. When compared to other so call high end manufactures they would have sold them for two maybe three times the price.   Where could or can you have been able to get the built quality at these...

Very nice improvements. Feature that turns into good value and benefits.   Enjoy music!

Well that is a very subjective question and statement. Both are very good headphones that have different flavors when it comes to the listening and sound delivery.   Source: PS Audio PWD and transport.    Amplifier: WA5   WA5 gain set for high gain.   T1 has a more balance frequency...

Thanks Jack for the info and must say I am impress with detachable cables Hifier can best match cable synergy.    Enjoy music!

.....................the statement about "no amp required for either of these" HD800 requires amping for sure! However do agree on genre of music selection.   Enjoy music!

You should be fine. WEE is just an exciter.   Enjoy music!
