Very nice.  How do the mids sound?  Is it forward or laid-back?  Also, I did see you wanted to upgrade to the Bifrost.  I can't wait to hear how that combo does.

Thanks, I am pretty noob but i will try my best to describe  my experience, initially i used the halo claro(LME49720NA opamp) to drive my hd650, it's sounded good, very detailed, but the low was pretty hash, i get fatigue with only a few minutes of listening, i had EQ down the low to get a comfortable listen, i did some reading in head-fi, and concluded that the warm sound and price point of the wa3 suit me well, so i ordered it with Sylvania 7236 NOS and a pair of Philips 6922 JAN, i was right, the wa3 tamed my hd650, it sound great, it's no longer hash, i could listen for hour without fatigue, although i have to say i am not completely satisfied, i think it's probably because the wa3 haven't break-in completely with my around 10 hours of use,  also i am still using my halo claro as a temporary DAC,  i know that this is a rough work around the result is likely not the best. I will get a bifrost next month and i will update my experience after the break-in.

That's pretty sweet actually. I love how compact it is.


+1 I love the synergy between my Sennheisers and the EF2A, especially with the NOS Raytheon tubes.

As I've said before the aesthetic and build quality were a significant factor in my purchase. Audio wise they are very solid all rounders - I wouldn't say they have weaknesses and at the same time I'm not amazed by any particular frequency. Theres little doubt in my mind that you could get better sound for the money. My bedroom setup is probably holding them back as well.

They're pretty. I wonder how they sound though. I wasn't a fan of the floor standers in that lin.
