Let the comparison begin WA33 EE JPS vs EF1000

Let the comparison begin

I'll happily take that WA33 from you once you decide you prefer the EF1000

Lets put all this planar power myth away and watch this: is he right maybe?

Well, why then does HiFi Man recommend the EF100 with its 20W HP output power or that I can clearly hear a difference adding my AHB2 to either the CH2 or TT2 (also applies to the stealth)....AHB2 is the most "uncolored" amp I have ever listened to...a true "wire with gain"....maybe I should just use my CH2 with the Susvaras and sell all the rest as it should have enough "power" as he mentioned.....

I like the AHB2 as well. Compared to the rear XLR of the TT2 it sounded a bit smoother and maybe a tad more dynamic. I am in the minority but I think the rear XLR on TT2 sounded good with the Susvara. It was more transparent vs going through the AHB2.

I fully agree, my normal listening with the Susvara's is with the HMS & TT2 (streamed from a Aries G1)with XLR or sometimes from the SE, right now with the CH2 just to prove my own point and CH2 is struggling for sure, but I love the TT2 and I dont feel the need to disconnect the speakers (laziness) from my AHB2 and use it with the Susvara's even if it adds that additional % of definition, dynamics & control, perfectly happy with the G1/HMS/TT2/Susvaras

I do miss the output power of the rear XLR ... wish the Dave had that built in. Would be unstoppable

I think if the Dave ever gets that feature. I would upgrade my TT2.

I loved the WA33 with the 1266TC, but I really didn't like it that much with Susvara.

The TOTL Wells Audio stack blew everything else away.

 

[Widell]

EF1000 !

Yes, I missed a 0 , I stand corrected.

I have owned a couple of susvara in the past few years...sold my first one because I wasnt using a proper amp and didnt appreciate it...bought the bakoon 13r and loved the pairing...now recently I received a CFA3 built for me and it is the best amp I have yet heard with the susvara....tons of power I believe it is 15 watts at 50 ohms and uncolored...those who say that the susvara doesnt change for the better with more power owe it to themselves to experiment and listen to different options...the susvara will sound very good when it has "enough" power but will sound sublime with proper power.....there is a reason that the amp hifiman built for it the EF1000 has so much power...that wasnt an accident

Excellent. Very interested to see what you think.

Can you please list your gear and headphones.

 

[Roasty]

Can you please your gear and headphones.

it should be the other way round!

What cables do you pair with your Susvara? I have been pairing mine with a Norne Vykari and I've loved it.

I ask because I am wondering if a Danacable would be an upgrade to it. I just bought a Danacable Lazuli Reference cable for my Utopia and it had a really nice effect relative to my Norne S4. Any thoughts?

 

[jlbrach]

i use a danacable reference cable with my susvara and like it a lot
