Another amp to consider is this beasty: http://aries-cerat.eu/products/amplifiers/genus

It's huge and the headphone socket is round the back.

So...how is the stuff that just shipped working, like the MHA-150 and HD820?

Well quite honestly it still is not hooked up yet but will hope to get to it soon..

The top end amp I have, I have compared to other amps, and it has beat out many at a fraction of the price.

Look here..

On the way as it shipped Monday 23rd of September.. Still not decided yet on a good power cord..

A Pangea Cables AC-9SE MKII is very good for the time being and get at least 2.0m:

Hi there, I have made the decision that I will be buying "ONE" power cord only and will share it among the 3 Amps as I would never be using more then one at a time anyways. I am looking to drop about 2500 or so on a really nice one but not sure would be best in the price range...?

If you really want to spend money for the sake of spending money, go ahead. Otherwise, any reasonably constructed higher gauge power cord will do.

Upgrading tubes would be a far better investment.

@PatekBruguetMogul

Congratulations! on your new WA5. A couple of notes before the amp arrives and you set it up.

- 300B tube have FOUR pins, two are smaller. Pay close attention during installation to match the small pins and big pins to the socket on the amp. Get this wrong and the amp may be damaged. We made a tube installation video for WA33 which is similar to WA5. Please take a moment to review the video.



- Power OFF the amplifier BEFORE changing the setting on "HP Power" switch (on the left side). For most headphones and your HD820, LO is best.

Why not make your own using Duelund dca12ga 600v, I've had excellent results and it's not expensive depending on what you terminate it with.

This!
Any amp thats in TOTL territory will be immune to power cord differences as they will have top notch PSU...

I am looking to drop about 2500 or so

Ugg, you could have found some top vintage tubes instead..
