Headphoneus Supremus
I have a WA33 that I use to drive my TCs. The sound is absolutely phenomenal. The weight, sound stage, transparency, and I guess gooey-sound (not in a bad way at all or too pronounced), makes everything sound so pleasing to the ear. I upgraded my tubes as well, and they improve the sound quality even more. I just have the standard edition. Those with the Elite Edition claim the sound is even better. I've never heard them, but I'm curious. I don't know how they could make the sound even better, but apparently they have.
Thanks.
I had wondered because I had read it was very clean sounding and not tubey sounding. Of course associated components and cables all contribute to the overall sound. Also one reviewers observations.
I’m used to a full and rich sound coming from the LCD4, and now Empyrean. I am using a Violectric V281. I still have the amp and the Empyrean. I wanted to add a other headphone, and hence the 1266. I have heard so much about them over the years.
I had heard that the 1266 and WA 33 were a good combo, and was curious of the sound signature. I have never listened to a 2A3 amp before. I had owned a Cayin HA-300 and Eddie Current Balancing Act, but those are both 300B amps.
The good/bad news is that tubes make a difference. LOL.
