Hello everyone, first post !!!!!!   At the moment I´m divided between these two amps. Please give me some advise here, I live in sunny Portugal and don't have much information on the gear I want.   My musical tastes are general, going from rock to classical. I have a pair of Hd 650 and a...

Hi   Im new in this forum, but i are a member of another forum. Im new in the game so i don´t know much about headphones, amps or DACs. I have tried to read as much as possible about headphones, amps and DOCs but in practice i don´t have much experience. Last week my new Cowon J3 arrived and...

I'm looking to pick up a new headphone amp to replace my X-Canv3. Currently driving a pair of Sennheiser HD650's. I'm considering the Mapletree. It uses 5751 input tubes and since I have a bunch of that type on hand, it seems like a practical choice. How does the Mapletree compare to other...

I have a pair of Grado RS1i that I'd like to buy an amp for.   I hope to purchase one of the new Emotiva ERC-2 Differential Reference CD players to use as my source (one of the main reasons being it decodes HDCD and I have a couple hundred HDCD discs...).   Though this is my first post...

Hi, i was thinking to buy a Beyerdynamic Tesla T1, can be a good choice? (I have a Burson HA-160 amplifier).   Thanks

So i currently run Spotify -> V-DAc -> Little Dot MkII -> AKG K701   Is the Little Dot MkII letting me down? There is an itching annoying feeling that I'm missing out big time. I know they are hard to drive but it sounds like i'm way off the mark of the true potential of these headphones...

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

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...

Just wondering what Woo Audio amp would be in the same category as the Little Dot MK IV ($350). The WooAudio 3 ($500) or the WooAudio 6 ($600)?

  Primary: Laptop(APE,FLAC) -> uDac2 -> DH Labs revelation interconnects -> Headamp Gilmore Lite -> Senn HD650 Secondary Rega Planet 2000 -> cheap rca -> Headamp Gilmore Lite -> Senn HD650   I listen to almost everything except hard rock. I am looking for better sound quality with...

Hi,   I'm considering buying one of these amps for the Grado PS1000. Has anyone heard or compared them with the PS1000, GS1000 or HF2? Does any one of these amps sound more "tubey" with Grado's than the other? I mention this because an overly "warm", "lush", "thick", "syrupy", "tubey" sound...

Hi   I'm a newbie to headphone amp and considering to get either Audiotailor Jade (not sure whether this still available) or Woo WA3 or WA6. My goal is to get nice warm sound from the amp to use with my Etymotic ER-4P or Sennheiser HD600. Price wise Audiotailor is the more economical...

Hi buddy, I wonder to start this thread earlier when I received my amp and searched that there is no such tiltle so I start it. Please also state what headphone/s you're pairing with and how do you love the combo. My WA6SE arrived by mid-March this year. I ordered a Sophia Princess 274B and...

Hello fellow Head-fi'ers.  I am at it again.  I bought a pair of HD650's (on a thread here somewhere) a month ago that are currently paired with a Maverick Audio D1 DAC/AMP with an upgraded preamp tube (looking into upgrading the OP-AMP) and I'm looking to go with tubes this time around.  I'm...

 What's Happening All   Never mind the title, I just wanted to get peoples attention. I'm new to Head-Fi and a budding audiophile and feel a bit lost and scared in terms of where to start and at how expensive my new hobby seems to be, respectively. I'm intrigued with tube amps and have...

Hello all,   I've freed up some change in my budget and am looking invest in another tube headphone amp I currently have the csp2+ with input voltage controls and a benchmark dac-1 pre and am equally in love with both. My cans are K701 and i have both the HD650 and DT990/600 on their way to...

Hi! Finally my first post after lurking for a long month :) I currently have a HD650 hooked up to a LD MKIV SE (I ordered a regular one but David gave me a SE because he ran out of the tubes for the regular one. THANK YOU DAVID!), and a Asus ST as source, which I find a great combination. But...

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...

Hi Head Folks,   I could use some good advice on a nice tube amp for my AKG K702's.  I'd like to keep the price below around $800.   I am currently running the AKG K702 through a Matrix M-Stage, and although the sound is quite good, am looking for:   1) a little more bloom in the...

Hi all, headfiers.   I would like to have an advice before breaking all my toys.   I'm actually enjoying my LCD2 with the Wa6... But I would like to try it out with a speaker amp. The only amp I have is a Musical Fidelity XT100 (with a XRay-V8 combo cd drive as source). The amp...

Hi, sorry for my bad English. (French is my primary language), and I hope my question isn't stupid...     I have:   Amp: WooAudio WA6 +  Sophia Princess Mesh Plate 274B rectifier Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT880 (600ohm) DAC: Asus Xonar Essence STX (RCA outputs) + LME49720 OpAmp...

Like a few others here, I got the shipping notice this morning.  I'll post up a few thoughts, impressions, etc. when it arrives.   Unfortunately, I'm on the East coast so it will be a few days.  I figured it would be smart to have a separate Valhalla thread to gather everyone's questions...

Hello everyone!   I had left a thread last week for your advice for a headphone for my needs. After all the suggestions, I'm going to buy a pair of AKG 702.   Now I'm having difficulty choosing an amp! I asked couple of the more experienced headfi'ers privately about it. I'll be...

Just got some Sony SA5000 headphones. I currently have an X-Can V3 amp running stock. I was hoping to get someone to do the pink floyd mods on it for me in Sydney but have had no luck finding someone. So I thought maybe I should sell it and put the extra into getting a WA6. However reading the...

Hi guys, sorry for my bad English (French-canadian).   To go straight to the point, I'm looking for a good tube amplifier that can drive my Denon AH-D7000 (~450-500$)   I will use the RCA output of an Asus Xonar Essence STX (I won't use the soundcard amp, which is normal).     Any...
