Head-Fier
Do any WA6-SE owners have experience pairing this with the HE-1000's? This headphone is hard to drive; I'm sure the WA6-SE can handle it theoretically (theoretical peak SPL about 120 dB when doing the calculations) as the power specs of this are
800 mW at 600 Ω
1,300 mW at 300 Ω
1,800 mW at 120 Ω
1,900 mW at 60 Ω
2,000 mW at 32 Ω
per channel.
But just curious what other Head-Fi'ers, especially if you guys have the WA6-SE, think about the paring. Woo Audio's website seems to say it works well, and from their headphone amplifier comparison chart (http://wooaudio.com/docs/wooaudio_amplifier_comparisons.pdf) the WA6-SE is one of their more powerful amplifiers.
Right now I am using a LA-900 (highly modified version of the TH-900) with my own cabling, but I am interested in the HE-1000 because of the really good reviews it has been getting with the bass impact, etc.I listen to a lot of electronic stuff, primarily deep house so I really like that punchy, deep, smooth and hard hitting bass. The TH900 delivers, but I think the HE-1000's will do better from the reviews. However, I love the tube sound, and enjoy my WA6-SE amp a ton, and don't really want to stretch my budget > the already fairly high cost of the HE-1000's.
Thanks!
