I have a Singlepower Extreme which sounds absolutely wonderful. However, I am thinking of getting a WA6 SE with Sophia Princess Mesh Plate 274B rectifier (and selling the Extreme). I heard Orcin's WA6 SE at a recent meet and loved it. I remembered that the WA6 SE seemed to be able to drive anything we threw at it at the meet, including K340s. Has anyone heard both the WA6 SE with and without the upgrades? I plan to use this with the HD800 (when it arrives), K701, HD650, D2000, AD2000, plus others.
Upgrades ($450)
Blackgate voltage filter caps, 150uf/350V
Blackgate bypass caps, 220uf/16V
Blackgate bypass caps, 22uf/350V
MILLS voltage filter resistor, 3.3K/12W
KIWAME load resistor, 56K/2W
KIWAME resistor, 1K/2W
I have heard that upgrades don't make that big of a difference so I am thinking of getting it without upgrades. I just want to make sure I am not making a big mistake.
Also, do you think it will be a downgrade to go from the Extreme to the WA6 SE? I have heard both but haven't compared them. From memory, I feel that they are comparable.
