HI   I am about to upgrade my amp from the Fioo E17, and want to invest in a good amp once, I am 98% sure I am going with the WooAudio W2, but wanted to make sure it would pair well with the Senn HD700, and maybe the LCD 2 if I ever get them. Thanks!

Hello: I would like to ask if you know any other amplifier currently on the market -I know Malvalve Amp Three can do it - which can work with electrostatic and dynamic headphones?   If possible maybe I would raise the idea of selling my Woo Audio 2 OTL and have only an amplifier  ...

I've been using my T1 together with my nuforce icon hdp for a while now, but I think its time for an update.   I've been thinking about purchasing the Musical Fidelity M1 HPA headphone amp which I've read does pretty well on its own included DAC and I might buy an external DAC for it later...

Hello, I gonna buy the beyerdynamic T1, but I don't realy know what headamp should i buy. My budget is something like 800 $ (500--600 euros).   I have now a CD player marantz which works very nice, and a stereo amplifier NAD.   I know nothing in headamps, that's why I request your...

Hello, i make this thread because i need some help. I gonna buy the Beyer T1, and i'm now hesistating between two possibilities : 1st one : buy a second-hand Wa2 + beyer T1 2nd one: buy an unused T1 and an used beyer A1. both possibilities are aprox. the same price, but i don't realy...

Hi, I'm new here, from Sweden. I've been looking both here and allover the web, searching a tube amp for me. I would prefer a tube only amp, but I've been glancing on some hybrids too. I'm prepared to spend about $1000 on a good amp. (And a big plus would be multiple inputs and the...

Hi all, I joined Head fi only recently and have never posted anything yet. I will be soon be getting a pair of T1s (upgrading from the HD 650s). I'm sure I will love them based on the reviews and what I've read on Head fi in the T1 appreciation thread. I have the Woo W2 and it was heavily...

Hi guys,   Sorry. Just being paranoid here. lol....   Just to explain my recent paranoia. Recently I bought a cheap, USB external soundcard for my laptop. I plugged in my m50's and instantly when trying to play a song I heard some crackling sounds and both drivers died on me right away...

New guy here so I should probably apologize for the newb post.  I have a ton of reading to do around here.   I am looking into headphone audio and the HD800s caught my attention.  I've been a regular on AVS for a while under the same handle so I am not a complete newb to audio.  I also tend...

Hello head-fiers   came here for some advise before I go ahead and spend $500 of hard earned money on a headphone amp.    I currently own an HD-800 and use a Grant Fidelity TubeDac-11 as an Amp/Dac.  Clearly, not the Ideal amplification for my headphones.  Now, after a whole lot of...

Hi, I have heard the HD800s with my Grace Design m903 and i thought they sounded great (no reference to compare to). I overwhelmingly see Headfi participants recommend tube amps for the Sennheisers. If I wanted to just use it as a DAC and buy a tube amp for the HD800s what amps would recommend...

I'm looking for a good amp for D7000...budget is below 1500$. Thanks for help!

I'm thinking of getting the tubes I'm using with my Woo WA6-SE cryoed (currently using a NOS RCA 6DR7).   I'm interested to hear stories of changes from cryoing tubes, for the Woo or other amps.

Hi guys.   Finally after thinking a complementary models for my HD800 & WA2 I,ve decided to start with electrostactic headphones -the DAC I own allows to connect 2 differents integrated amps for its RCA analoge outputs- and a couple days ago I,ve acquired a Stax SR-009. Now Im looking for an...

So, I currently have the DT990 600 Ohm and the Denon D7000.  I'm running them through a Titanium HD to a JDS Labs O2 amp.  I also plan on getting the HD650's if I can get lucky on a good price.   Do you think the above sound card and amp are good enough for now, or would you recommend...

As I live in Germany the Woo Audio WA2 (which I really would like to buy) will cost me around $1454 instead of $1090 because of taxtes, etc.   Now I need an amp alternative for them which do not require shipping from outside EU.   I would like to pair them with a Beyer T1. (the only...

Hello, I need your advice:   I want to buy a new amp for my Beyer T1's. I listen to music both through the T1's and my speakers. Is it better to buy the WA5 over the WA2 so I can directly put in my speakers into the WA5?   Both the WA5 and the WA2 have audio outputs on the back, but...

Hey guys, I decided to go with the Woo Audio WA 2 for my Beyerdynamic T1. Now I need a ( good ) DAC to connect the WA2 to my computer, which would look like the following: Computer -> DAC -> WA2 -> T1 I mainly listen to Electronic (Minimal), Classic and sometimes Hip-Hop/Rap. I really...

Hey guys!   I just bought my new Beyerdynamic T1 headphones. They are simply amazing.   Now I need a very good new amplifier for them, currently I'm using the Audinst HUD-MX1 but I think they tend to highlight treble, which they do too much.   This is my setup:   Beyerdynamic T1...

I am debating upgrades to my STAX SRM-1/Mk-2 Pro amp /STAX Lambda Pro HP setup. The 2 basic scenarios I am considering are:   1. Fisher X-202B integrated amp > Wee Woo enegizer > Lambda Pros       I have had my Fisher refurbished (I'm the original owner) and retubed (original power tubes...

Hi all,   Just planning for the future as I don't know how long the stock tubes will last for - given my usage patterns - which are typically 8-10 hours in  3-5 hour sessions. I don't know much about tube physics/electronics/science in general to be perfectly honest. I'm probably going to...
