Those are some strange looking amps. I really loved the MJ2 and now that i got rid of it I might just have to get another one. I sold it thinking that I would upgrade, but don't see much to upgrade to.

Owning both the Lyr2 and MJ2, the extra $400 for the MJ2 is worth it. Significant upgrade in SQ and the tubes play a noticeably bigger role in the sound sig. Though if you are not running balanced, the Lyr2 is much strnger SE than the MJ2 SE.

That's the reason why I've never upgraded. The only HP I'm running balanced is the HD650. I'd rather spend the $$$ on glass versus all new cables for every HP I own.

With the MJ2 I used the balanced section of the amp for the increased power output, but have yet you REALLY gain from a balanced amp since my Audio GD R2R dac is only SE out.

No worries. Just curious is all....

Since I parted ways with my lovely MJ2 I've been really enjoying the ease of use and simplicity of the AIO R2R 11 from AGD. This thing is amazing; not just for the money. It's about 8.5 out of 10 of what the MJ2 could push and the only way you'd find the missing 1.5 points is if you really crank it up, and by that time it's hoesntly too loud. What I have trouble getting over is the fact that it only cost $350.

I sure wish AGD made a tube amp :frowning2:

This is very much a contender but I could never find how much power it has and I need quite a bit for my LCD's. I see other amps from Woo have specs for wattage but it's not much, so I figured this was in the same category; 1.0 - 1.5watts?

Never tried driving LCD's with it but has been great synergy with HD800S's and T1's.
Here are the specs from Woo...

Model: WA2 Headphones Impedance: 26-600 Ohms Input Impedance: 100 Kilo-Ohms Frequency Response: 8 Hz - 100 KHz, -3dB Power Output: 310mW @32Ω 400mW @60Ω 550mW @120Ω 640mW @300Ω 480mW @600Ω (with 6080 tube) Signal/Noise: 95 dB THD: <= 0.8% Voltage: AC 110/220 - 240V, 50/60 Hz, switchable External Dimension, end to end measurement, same for both units: 5.5" (H) x 13 (W) x 9" (D) Weight: 17 pounds

Oh, wow. Yeah, like TK said. It's an OTL amp. Would do so well with my Planars. So of their other amps would but not ready to part ways with $4k yet.

Since I can't find another tube amp that's compatible with the 6922 / 2C51 tubes I already have I'll either buy another MJ2, or I was even thinking of the Master 9 from Audio GD. But if I want the non tube amp I would never get a chance to listen to my LM Ericsson gold pins. :frowning2:
