Ok so tax time is here and I've decided to purchase one of the 2 mentioned and also purchase some sennheiser hd650 to go with them, my music tastes are mostly acoustic, indie rock ( on the lighter side) some jazz sprinkled in with some classic rock and even some country like steve earle, Allison...

I could sure use some help with my current setup. I have a Mac Mini to Emotiva XDA2 to WA6SE to LCD2 setup over USB that is giving me a fit. I am using Bitperfect to bypass the Mini's internal DAC. The symptoms I have are no audio which requires a reboot of the Mac Mini and the XDA2 to restore...

Hi,   Currently I use Woo WA6SE and Audeze LCD2rev2 as my main equipment. Both are superb pair in terms of balance and bass attack. However, when I use WA6SE with AKG K702, somewhat they sound too bright, thin and even unpleasant. If I compare it to a Schiit Lyr+AKG K702, Lyr sounds more...

I was wondering if the Audiolab M-DAC will work well in combination with the WA6-SE?   At the moment I only have a Asus Xonar Essence ST as a source.   Any suggestions for a DAC that would be a good combo for the Woo Audio WA6-SE in the $1000 range?   Ben

I am looking for review between these two amps cost and build no object.  I searched pretty well i think and am not finding the reviews i am looking for.   cheers John   Mackbook pro-.>Yulong d100 mkii->(?) ->HD650

i had the WA6SE for about a week now, so i thought it'd be time to give some impressions. i originally wanted to wait a bit til i received the MAD ear+ purist to do a comparison, however it did not arrive yet, so i will save that for later. to be honest, i was not initially "blown away" by...

I have a dilemma here. I'm in the market for some new gear, as I find my DacMagic Plus a little lacking. I'm not even sure wether I want a new DAC or just a separate amplifier, it simply depends on what would sound the best. I've narrowed it down to a stack of the Schiit Asgard 2 and...

Hi guys,   I would like to ask for info anyone with WA6 if you got any experience using HE-400/500 on this amp.    I'am trying to decide whether to get Schiit Lyr or Woo Audio WA6 for my HD650 and HE-400. (Also but not importantly Shrure SRH940,Grado SR225i)   Thanks 

Hi,   I am hoping to place an order for this amp in the next week or so. I have been reading allot about it in reviews and on the threads here. It sounds like the amp I am looking for. My large system is tube based and so I am looking for a similar setup but with a 'one box' solution for my...

Hello everyone, here is what I have so far in my system: Sources: Sony X777ES CD player. Logtech Squeezebox v 3 Ipod Classic loaded with lossless songs, fed into a Wadia, then into a Monarchy Audio DIP classic. I find myself listening to the Ipod most times as it is convenient and...

Hi all,     I am really new to tube amp and just recently purchased the Wooaudio WA6SE. I really like the amp but I notice that two stock driver tubes do not glow equally.     The tube on the left side glows significantly brighter than the right one. I turned the amp off, waited for both...

Hi everyone   I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice on putting together a headphone rig. I've put together $2500 so far between selling off some vintage gear on CL and a couple of winning trips to the local casino over the holidays. Still have a few things for sale so that number...

Was looking Woo WA2, but that doesn't look so ideal for low impedance phones like Mad Dogs, ESW9, etc.  WA6se, Ray Samuels, Eddie Current seem to, based on other posts, be more "SS sounding".   So the question is...what are some good tubey sounding amps for low impedance phones (<$2000)?  ...

Hi,   Currently i own a Grado GS-1000 with a Fiio E17 + E9 and a Denon cd player.   It does sound good, but i think that i have a lot of room for improvement.   Now i have a budget of 1250 euros and want to upgrade some stuff.   I was thinking that an amp can give me the biggest...

So I'm looking for a new desktop tube amp for around 500-650 US dollars to power my HD 650s and I was wondering which one of these two would do a better job? I've read a lot of reviews praising the synergy between the Lf 339 and hd 650s but the sketchy chinese website kinda freaks me out. On the...

Both of these amplifier/DAC combos are identical in price here in blighty, and from looking at an older thread comparing the amplifier of the two, opinions were mixed, I'm wondering if anyone has compared the amp/dac versions of these devices.   The Matrix M-stage looks to more convenient...

Hi,   I had an earlier post last week where I was asking about tube amps for an HD800.  But I have been thinking a bit more broadly about it and considering also solid state or hybrid amplifiers as well. The thought for a tube amp was because so many experienced HD800 users preferred them, and...

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...

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...

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.

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...

I have been an audiophile for 5 years now. Earlier this year, I have decided to move from speakers to headphones due to space constraint.   Being new to the headphones. I have decided to try the three common types, close, open and planar (maybe someday I will dabble into electrostatic). I...

hi guys. thinking of upgrading my nuforce icon hd to another dac and headphone amp, and this time a separate unit. thinking of the little dot dac_II and little dot MK IV combo. what do u guys think? is it a worthy upgrade? reason i wanted to upgrade to tube amp is because i like the warmer...
