I would like to know what headphones amplifier you would buy if you had a budget of 2500$, only single ended amplifiers, It would be some woo a good option ?,thanks

 

[forbigger]

yes, woo going to be on my list, phonitor, zana , beta (2-3 boards since you're not looking fr balance cheap and good) OR sell the rs1 and get stax

Woo should be at the top of your list.I drive my RS-1s with a Woo 2, it's an excellent fit and well within your budget.

While the WA 6 variants sound great with Grados (not so much the WA OTL amps)... as well as Senns and other phones... if I were limiting it to amps that matched well with RS-1's... I'd likely get the MAD Ear+ HD variants, which everyone raves about with Grados... or maybe... the Blue Circle Audio SS (SBH or Hat Peed), or the ALO Amphora SS amps.

The best two that I've ever heard with the RS1/RS1i:

Melos SHA-Gold
Mapletree Ear+HD (or any other MAD headphone tube amp)

The Woo6 was also nice as was the much maligned RA1.

I would get the EAR HP4 if I was in your position or woo5 lite.

Yes... I almost forgot... for the money... the RA1 is superb with Grados - though, I'd get the A/C version to avoid the battery hassle. But... don't expect it to do much for high impedance, less efficient phones.

How does the MKIII pair up with the RS1i's? I know that the MKIII has different settings that be adjusted right?

Tube: WA6SE/WA5LE, Zana.

SS: Phonitor, GS-1, Luxman P-1/P-1u.

Thanks to all, my decision just now is between wa6se, beta22 3 channel, I must say to you that I am owner of ps1 and l3000 headphones too ,They all are sensitive and of low impedance, I have listened phonitor and it is too cold in my personal opinion, Ear hp4 is just now a dream difficult to obtain, If you could tell me more information, which help myself to deciding I would be very grateful , regards
