1st, let me say excellent review.
2. I had a Woo 6 amp & got second degree burns from it. I guess it was as somebody said, "warm". But I admit it was all my fault & I was stupid for it to have happened.
3. The number of posts on this forum doesn't necessarily equate to audio expertise/experience. Some of us work/worked for a living & posting 10,000 times isn't/wasn't as important as feeding our families. I was working with speakers, amps, receivers, headphones, before most of the guys on this site were born, but that doesn't mean much either. I've learned a lot on this site from guys with 10 posts & from others that had thousands, & everything in between. I've also seen that how smart/stupid someone is has nothing to do with post count.
4. I have a 2008v of the Glow Amp One. I didn't buy it for a headphone amp. It is, as the company says, a really outstanding speaker amp, that just happens to have a semi-usable headphone jack. I listen to it on my Omega XRS hemps, my Klipsch Kliphorns, & especially on my Hornshoppe Horns. If it was just a headphone amp, I'd sell it, & get something else cause that headphone jack drives me nuts. But as a speaker amp, it make heavenly sounds. It sounds great too with my HE-5LEs, when I can get it to work!
5.I have heard the new version of the Glow using several headphones. I'd recommend it to anyone who wanted a nice headphone amp & who also wanted to drive some efficient speakers like the Hornshoppe Horns or Omegas, or any Klipsch speaker. Besides being a quality sounding amp, it has a very, very high WAF.
6. As strictly a headphone amp, would I buy it over the Woo 3, YES. Over the Woo 6 or beyond NO WAY!!!!! But me, I'd probably buy a DACport &/or A Elekit TU882 instead & save a few bucks for better cables.
7. Regarding heat, the Glow gets no hotter than most of my other amps. Try picking up a Schiit Asgard (wonderful ss amp buy the way) sometime after it has been on an hour or so. I've run my Glow 24/7 on several occasions w/o worry during initial burn-in. Now watch it burn my house down tonight! You just never know with electronics.
The above is MHO & is worth only what it cost you! All the best to everyone, regardless of your post count. Again, I enjoyed your review, Kouzelna, a lot! Nice Job!
