I have a Stax SRM-006t driving a pair of SR-404 Sigs and was wondering if the Woo Audio GES is considered a significant upgrade to the Stax amp?
It's better but it's also a very different design with it's own issues. I'd stick with the 006t or get a 717 as an upgrade.
Fully AC coupled, no adjustment for the output stage and single ended only so you always have to use the phase splitter. This is just the design and then the Woo Audio execution is a whole other can of worms.
That said, a better version of the GES can be built and I have one in production. Fully balanced, lower distortion, better PSU and even smaller than the Woo version...
Yeah but why on earth did I say in production, a bit of Icelandic slipping through unannounced.I'm building one for myself as a proof of concept so we can release the design. Well that and I have this lovely little PSU I designed for the B-10 project and it's perfect for the GES. I always buy extra of everything so I had an extra transformer as well which works perfectly.
Nahh I never do that unless it's a group build (KGSSHV or DIYT2) or something really radical.
