I am debating upgrades to my STAX SRM-1/Mk-2 Pro amp /STAX Lambda Pro HP setup. The 2 basic scenarios I am considering are:
1. Fisher X-202B integrated amp > Wee Woo enegizer > Lambda Pros
I have had my Fisher refurbished (I'm the original owner) and retubed (original power tubes were shot, so I had to install a quad of JJs 7591s as they are the only 7591s currenty available. I replaced the original Fisher 12AX7 tubes (which still tested good) with matched pairs of Gold Aero Platinum 12AX7s from W. Germany I had on hand). The sound is quite good through through the headphone output to my Audeze LCD-2.1 cans.
Even though I own and like my fully optioned Woo WA-2, I'm not so sure about Woo Audio's WEE, from the little I have found on the forums about the WEE, it seems to have some issues, too. So, I'm not sure if I will get any worthwhile sound improvements for the expenditure of $500.00 over my SRM-1 Mk.2 setup.
2. Stax 727 Mk.II > Lambda Pros with a possible future upgrade to 007 or 009 phones.
Your comments and recommendations are appreciated.
