    Woo WA22

    Is anyone using this amp with Audio-Technica headphones? I'm looking for a amp that goes well with my Audio-Technicas and DT880 2003 and both wa2 and wa22 seem interesting.

    Finnish headphone meet 6.6.2009

    The meet was nice (thanks jantze), with few pleasant surprises but I think I was missing a set or two from last year. This year revealed at least the fact that, even with all the fancy modifications, I'm still not a huge Denon fan.

    yepyep_ seems to have gotten a sad looking cable. Lucky for him I'm also from Finland and I'm willing to trade my beautiful pink cable for that lame silvery white one

    audio-technica ATH-A2000X

    Got the headphones today \o/ They're beautiful, but I don't like the fit. They feel kinda loose and it is not because my head is small, it isn't. Still I don't think I liked the fit on my ath-w1000s at first so I hope it'll get better. I'm listening to them on my work computer now and they...
