Any way you could 'neak in a few more dollars and get the WA 6 Special Edition for that pairing?

most likely not, unless I was able to get the SE for <$700 that's a major discount idk if woo will offer

 

[Dubstep Girl]

you might be able to pick up a used SE for 800 or so.  jack will not discount though, and especially not after raising his prices from 1050 to 1190 for the 6SE

I'm impatiently waiting for my WA6, and it's killing me... Also ordered a Schiit MODI.

Waiting is the fun part, really!

Alright thanks! I guess I'll have to demo them both (SE and normal) just to see if the SE is a marked improvement over my Lyr, or to see of maybe even the 750 Mw is good enough for my ears. I really hope so, thanks for all your help!

As another Q, do the Rectifiers glow as much as the drivers? I didn't see much glow on either at the woo exhibit

 

[Dubstep Girl]

depends on the rectifier and drivers, its really tube dependant.
 
the sophia and eml glow nicely, the stock shug is terrible, and has like no glow (i believe this was the tube used at the show from the pics my friend showed me of the show)
some of the drivers have a bit more glow as well.

Great showing for Woo at the NY Audio show. They are all very friendly and their head amps are the bomb. Loved the firefly... Beautiful build quality on all their amps!

I got an invite for that but unfort I won't be back in NY for another two months.  Nice to hear.

No, certainly does not have the width and depth of HD800 but definitely small/narrow. I prefer the lcd2 over he6 for some reason.

I mean NOT small or narrow at all.

This helps! Thanks for the follow-up, I was confused. But avoided temptation for my own follow-up; didn't wanna spam my brother on a beautiful Sunday night.

Let me step in and see if I can broker you a deal. Won't be able to do it for less than $700, though. I deal with quality members & components 

only. Perhaps, for just a little more than that, I can get a Pre-Owned Black Special Edition out to you in fantastic condition, seldom used.
 
Will contact the owner shortly...

This reminds me the first time I turned off the lights with the TS-BGRP's/USAF-596 installed - the room stayed very dark.

Has anyone used the AKG K702 65 with the WA6, WA6SE or WA2?  
My headphones just arrived but are being held hostage at the post office while I'm on a business trip.  Am in the market for a good headphone amp and am very intrigued by the reviews of the Woo products.  The three mentioned are in the running.

the WA6-SE is a fantastic amp with the K702, but may be a little overkill, the WA6 is already very good and drives them very well without any problems. the WA2 isn't ideal for low impedance headphones and wouldn't work well with K702 (some WA2 work ok, some like mine, don't play very nice with low impedance headphones). both WA6 and WA6-SE highly recommended.

If the extra $$$ poses no obstacle, nothing like having reserve. And jenerik would then be able to satisfy potential cans not yet purchased, by moving up now. My vote 

 is for future growth. And in this hobby, that will come quickly.
