thinking about WA22 again....

 
i'd basically have all the best tubes for it

thinking about buying it?

 

[Dubstep Girl]

yeah.. i just worry it might not as good as WA2 for T1.  it might be too bright or thin. seems like alot of ppl say its similar to WA6-SE. so yeah im not sure exactly how it would sound. and like no1 near me has a WA22 i could audition.
 
i would love a WA22 though if its a good as ppl say. then when the other amps i want, i only have 1 woo instead of 2 smaller woos.

So your thinking of getting rid of the 2 other's that you have and going for the WA22? Hmmmm?

 

[magiccabbage]

sell the WA6-se and keep the WA2? i was thinking of getting the WA22 myself but because it would not power the HE6 i decided against it.

i was gonna look into some SS amp for the HE-6

i dunno some endgame like darkstar or gsx2. long ways away though, i have to buy HE-6 first. and thats not happening until th-900 and lcd-3 are bought.
 
decided im keeping HE-500 too, its very unique in its presentation and quite a lovely little headphone to have around. however, im looking for a better amp for them as well. right now the T1/WA2 destroys the HE-500 in almost everything.

 

[GrindingThud]

Yes, but also lowers the output impedance and drives a little more power, much like the 7236.

If I were you I would sell both the 6se and wa2 to buy the wa22 or the 300b wa5. I doubt you would enjoy the t1 less on the wa22. But luckily for me I'm not you so I don't have to worry about upgrades

. I enjoyed what I have so far. The hd800 may well be my end game no more upgrades on that front in the near future. Only thing on my radar now is a good dac and some nos tubes and I'm done with head fi for a long while. Perhaps a gsx mkii solid state in future but luckily for me there's no accessible way for me to get it where I'm at and the waiting list is about 80 years? Maybe more so that may never happen but hey I never thought I could get the set up I have now 6 months back so who knows...

with all the headphones you have in mind, i recommend the wa5 instead of wa22. the wa22 can drive all headphones except the he6 and the lcd2/3 will be better with wa5 too. i did not have the t1 for long but during the time i own it it pair very well with wa22 with ts7236, nu6f8g, and mullard metal base gz34.

oh, the beta22 drives the he6 very well if you are into dyi amps.

Ok I bought two 596 tubes and the matching adapters are being made by Woo. I asked Woo and Simon Ho told me they are the best rectifiers they have heard in the WA5 so I sprung for them. I hope I like them. I am done with tube buying for a long while now for the WA5.
