Glad you're enjoying the combination Frank. I really did when I owned the WA22.
The WA22 is excellent for 2K and the GSX at close to 3K is excellent as well. They are all good and one may prefer one over the other or visa versa but for 2K the W222 makes them sing with the stock tubes. I would imagine this could be further tailored with some exotic tubes to step them up even more,
I agree with here Peter. I liked it, but not as much as the GX- X mk2
the EML 274B is quite nice on the WA22 with the hd 800.
I am sure that it can be stepped up for sure with better tubes. I am enjoying it with the hd800 and T1 and also th slow impend acne cans. I am waiting for an lCD2 Jack is sending me for them also. I like what I hear though. Listening to the T1 on the WA 6SE right now. To morrow I will listen to the WA2
It could be of course that after a few days/weeks my impression will change, that is why I am asking: is it a real fact that the HD800 has all those characteristics (overanalytical, lacks of musicality, over sibilant, lack of bass), or it depends on the setup?
My other components are: very basic Denon CDP > toslink > Lindemann DAC > Lehmann BCL > HD800.
Thanks for your answer,
Daniel
I will finally have my hd800's in a few hours.
I look forward to your WA2 impressions.you have T1 right?
