Hi   just joined head-fi a few days ago, first post here, but i have been reading the posts here for some time now.  thanks and forgive my naivety.   right now i am doing most of my listening w/ my ath-w1000x out of my WA6.  the WA6 for me has really smoothed out those headphones unlike...

I recently purchased an Emotiva ERC-2 CDP that I primarily use as the source in my headphone rig (ERC-2>Woo Audio WA6 SE>Grado RS1i or Sennheiser HD 650).   So here’s where I need help: I have almost 2 TB of music files that are housed on External Hard Drives and are primarily in FLAC (with...

Anybody know how to edit the for sale price in the amps for sale forum? I listed my woo audio 6se for sale before paying attention to what I paid for it 2 years ago and what they cost new. I know, pretty stupid. Anyways, the price I listed is way out of line and I want to lower it, anybody...

I am considering upgrading my system. I currently listen to mainly HD650s through a Headroom Cosmic amp from around 2002. Lately, the source is a Sonos (ALAC) without a separate DAC. I listen to indie, rock and jazz I am debating between the 160d and WA6SE. The 160d would upgrade my amp and...

I've had a Woo Audio 6 for about 8-9 months and have spent a lot (I mean a lot!) on tubes to find a flavour that suited most of my full sized cans. I'm happy with it in that respect but the newest arrivals (HE-4 and HE-500) don't quite get enough grunt from it. I still have a set of 6FD7's to...

Hi,   this is my first post and first thread here on head-fi. However, I've been reading this forum for the last 4 months.   First of all, I have to admit that I am new to these audiophile stuffs, but really interested in taking my music listening to the whole new level! Started with...

I'm looking to buy some LCD2s and I'm having trouble deciding on which route I should go.  I'm leaning towards the HA160D because it is an all in one solution and slightly cheaper.  I'm coming from ATH-900 through a Zonar DX

Hi, sorry if this question has been asked thousand times but I really need advice as I am noob.   I owned a marantz cd6004 cd player + wa6se + hd-800. I am pretty happy of it and thinking if a dedicated dac will even improve my rig further. My budget of dac is 2k (but doesn't mean I want to...

Hi, I have a Woo Audio WA 6 tube amp feeding a pair of AKG 701 headphones. I was wondering if an Apple Universal Dock would sound ok with this amp. I want to be able to control the iPod From a distance withe a remote without spending a fortune. I realize this is not an ideal setup, but I would...

I have been lurking here for over a year and have learned a great deal, more than I could have imagined.  Thanks to all who share their knowledge.  I would like to humbly make my first post.   For the past year or so I have been debating how well my Woo WA6 and my AKG K702 headphones play...

The title says it all what amp would be better for hd800, the wa2 and a dac thats ~$300 mac $499, the wa6 with a amp that cost $500 or less or a asus xonar essence one? (I posted a thread in the amps section but I only got 1 reply on it.)                                                   ...

Hi guys/gals!  Long time lurker here coming out of the woodwork to get a few opinions.  I have been listening to headphones for a 10+ years, but recently have gotten the upgrade bug.  I had a pair of Sennheiser HD-590's for a long time and added a Firestone Fubar IV+ DAC/Amp about 3 years ago...

Have the opportunity to buy a WA6 SE for a very good price but don't know if it can replace my Audio GD Phoenix(which I would have to sell then) I run balanced with Sennheiser HD650. I do miss the tube sound but also got used to "balanced",so I am wondering if it is worth going SE with the Woo...

I'm planning to purchase WA6-SE amp and Bifrost Dac for my phones.   Are they good matched for LCD-2?   If you have different opinions, plz let me know.  Any kinds of  recommendations are welcomed.

Any thoughts on what would be a good dac for my combination? I owned a little dot dac 1 but it just did not seem to bring out the best in my headphones. I would not say the sky is the limit for price but I want to get something that will do justice to my woo audio amp. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am looking for a small headphone amp stand for WA6SE that has enough space beneath it to place my small Calyx DAC 24/192 (its height is 3")   Any advice?   Thanks!

I am looking for a DAC that is well worthy to combo with the Woo Audio WA6. My source will come from my PC and my Ipod Classic. I hope headfiers can give me indepth advices/recommendations in for kind of setup.   Thank you

I love how the wa6 sounds although with the hd650's that I am using it with I would like to hear a bit more attack and/or brightness .  Will the Sophia Princess rectifier really improve the wa6 in that respect or are we talking about a subtle improvement? I am looking for a rectifier tube that...

    Woo Audio has literally became legendary in the world of headphone amps. If the 1000+ page thread on Head-Fi wasn’t enough, people almost always consider Woo’s amps before anything else, and not just because of sound, but because of the tube selection, build quality, and the overall...

I have a nuforce icon hdp, headphones are Grado Rs1i and Akg k701. Can some one gave some suggest wich one should I buy? Amp wa6se or headphone T1? Thank you.

Forgive me if this subject has already been covered but..........Purchased Audeze LCD-2 'phones.  I nee a headphone amp to drive these properly.  My top two choices are Red Wine (speaking of the headphone section of any unit), and Woo (probably the WA 6SE).  Also will consider Eddie Currrent...

Photo-reviewist Ken Rocwell has reviewed some audio gear, and also the Woo WA6SE.    http://kenrockwell.com/audio/woo/wa6-se.htm   edit - he has actually done a lot of audio reviews:   http://kenrockwell.com/audio/index.htm                 He has done a lot of...

I've got plans to put together a setup of the LCD-2/Tesla T1 and Woo Audio WA6 currently.  I have in my list the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1.  I want to know, what DACs are there that aren't too huge of a sonic downgrade from it, but do cost a lot less?  Preferably, with USB input, and it'd have to have...

Anyone know of any brighter sounding tubes that I can use for the woo wa6 amp? Is there even such thing as tubes that sound brighter?

Okay, I'm a newbie. I just ordered the wa6, I have the Fiio 9/17 combo and am wondering the best linkage of these or even if this is a good idea. Jack says the fiio combo will work with the RCA out but didn't go any further. Any advice would be awesome.
