Hi Guys,   As a owner of the Stax 404 LE & 600 amp.... I added my second set of cans for the Bedside Rig, Closed phones.   Due to a great price online I purchased the Audio technica  ATH - W5000 for what I feel is a great price of $649 to the door Brand new..   So heres my ? Since I...

I have been lucky enough to have both the WA6SE and WA2 side-by-side for a while and have spent the past couple of weeks listening to both amps. I should be finished the review over the weekend and will post it when it's all done. I primarily wanted to know for myself if the WA2 was inherently...

I am looking for a good headphone amplifier that can drive Senn HD 800, Audeze LCD-2, Denon D5000, JHA Pro 13 (and possibly Grado PS1000/GS1000/RS1) with ease to satisfying listening levels. I have a couple of decent DACs (Anedio D1 and Eastern Electric DAC), so a good DAC is an added bonus, but...

Hey guys,   I just got a really good deal on a WA6 SE from a fellow Head-Fier here and I've been searching through old threads trying to find a good source for it. I'm probably not going to get a DAC for a while though as I have spent more than I planned on an amp.   I currently listen...

Hey guys   Sorry abt my bad english   Recently I am thinking about buying a proper full size amp (under $1000) to drive my T1, ultrasone edition 8 & Denon 500.   So that means I am looking for a amp can drive both high and low impedance headphones.   I prefer my headphones to...

I would like some help deciding what amp to buy. I'm strongly leaning towards the Burson Audio ha-160 (perhaps the d-version, not sure yet!), but there are also tube amps out there that may synergize better with my HD 800s. About $1000 is what I can pay, and I'm interested in the woo audio...

I was just wondering if anyone out there had experience with both of these Amps and could comment on the sonic differences.  They are essentially the same price.  I know that the 6SE is Transformer coupled and so, theoretically should be better able to handle low impedance cans, but the WA2 is...

A WA6 with the upgrades comes to just under $200 shy of a stock WA6-SE. Is it worth just stumping for that instead?

Had my pair of DT770/80 headphones a few years now. A real step up from the cheapo headphones I'm used to but I'm listening to it without an amp...finally got the budget to get one and overwhelmed by the range of choices from the Crack OTL to Woo Audio's WA3 and WA6. Portability isn't essential...

List of SE all-tube amplifiers (as of April 2011).   Cary SLI80 Signature - $3,500 Leben CS-300X (push-pull) - $3,295 Woo Audio 5-LE - $2500 Zana Deux SE - $2200 DNA Sonett - $1200 Woo Audio 2 (OTL) - $1090 Woo Audio 6-SE - $1050 Decware Zen TABOO - $995  Darkvoice 337SE - $899...

I am looking to get an amp soon, budget is 1000usd and not sure which one to go for. Currently have the RS1 and CD3000 but may get the T1 or HD800. I dont need the amp with DAC as I will get the DAC on its own. Mainly listen to Pop and classics, hope you guys could help me out.

So I’ve been quite content with my Sennheiser HD800 + Woo Audio WA6SE setup (with the Meier StageDAC as the source) for a couple months now since I acquired them. This setup has provided me a sound that I feel makes me excited to come home everyday and listen. I had a pair of Denon AH-D7000 and...

I have the best portable source/amp, hifiiman 801 and SR-71B. do you think this is good enough to power HD800, balance and give you a great sound ? or does HD800 demand better than them to be worthwhile?

Of course I can turn them way down but is there anyone that enjoys listening to music at a low volume when you have such nice phones?   In my office I have the Violectric V181 amp with 24 Bit USB module (optional) and the LCD-2 with Norse Audio 8 wire cable with Neutrik 4 Pin connector...

Like the title, I wonder how the WA6SE perform as a pre-amp. Jack said I can use the headphone out as the pre-amp. I started another thread asking about the DAC with pre-amp option, since I'm getting a new DAC and I wanna some pre-amp option for moving on to speakers later on. However, that's...

I heard this pairing at a recent Head-fi meet and came away feeling very good.  I found excellent synergy.  If I go for the Woo 6-SE I will probably have to sacrifice my source for the time being and go for something like an NFB-12.   So is it overkill?    

Hey guys, I am currently looking for an amp for my Ath W5000, After reading reviews I decided to pick either the WA6 or the WA6 SE. I've seen people saying that SE is obvious upgrade from standard WA6. However, someone also said that with PSPD WA6 could get "really" close to the SE verision, So...

Hello I’m an older listener (58) in the process of putting together a headphone based system for myself. I’ve enjoyed some wonderful sounding and engaging high end equipment (Linn, Audio Research, Magnepan etc) in the past but traded and sold that while putting together a more family friendly...

I have my WA6SE arriving next week. I've read a little about upgrading the stock tubes and I'm looking for advice from fellow WA6SE owners on which to go for. Im a newbie with tube amps so any advice would be very welcome!

Im looking into buying one of these amps.  If i get the Woo Audio WA6SE, i would be connecting it to my NuForce uDAC2.  I've seen many threads about the WA6SE, and some about the HA-160D, but I havent seen a comparison between the two.    Has anybody had the opportunity to compare these two...

Quick question. I have the WA6 SE maxxed out version (with the Sophia 274B tube), and the power component makes a low humming sound. It is audible from a few feet away in a quiet room but not audible once the headphones are playing. I was looking at power cords/conditioners etc, and noticed...

I decided to gives tubes a try again after many years of using SS gear. My past experience with tube gear was not very positive (Melos SHA- power supply hum, hum though the headphones and speakers and poor quality toggle switch feel) (Music Reference RM9 MkII lint shorts, blown fuses,popping...

I recently bought a Princess Sophia as a result of all the glowing reviews.  I am using it with WA6-SE.  I am using it with a pair of 6DE7s - Sylvania and then I tried it w/ my RCAs w/shield.    The soundstage wide, but to me not very deep.  I found the bass able to go very low, but with...

Hello,   I have never heard or owned a tube amp, but, am interested is spending the money on one. Crazy, I know.  I have read a lot of threads here and also emailed Jack.  I am still not firm on why I would pick either the WA6SE or WA2 over the other with regards to sound quality given...
