At least if she spends the weekend with the Woo she should have no problems with the tube purchase afterwards!

  Oh now I have done it was laughing so much she's read what I posted on line - apparently everyone's having a joke at her face cream. Personally I can't wait to try the stuff, must be some serious science in the ingredients.  
 
Hope I will be able to smile after.....

Would it be a waste to try high-end USB cable between WA7 and HD800? If it's worth a try, any suggestions?

It creates a big debate every five minutes. The great cable debate. Lots of opinions.

Personally I think high-end cables are modern day snake oil. I don't believe in cheap. I just think mid-range well built will serve well.

Cables always spark debate, but if you go in without any preconceptions and just demo some it'll be a good way to form your opinion.
Having said that compare the wire world platinum starlight with the light harmonic USB if you have the chance. That comparison gave me my opinion on high end cables.

Well, after 10+ years of being a Woo headphone amp owner (WA-3, WA-2) I'm thinking W234, but I'm also thinking designing my own dedicated 300B amp. So, I'm interested in Woo 234 experiences (pro/ con) vs other designs etc., and looking for real experiences and the what-not.
 
Thanks in advance!
Ken
 
BTW, design wise, the focus would be on the hd-800 headphone (300 - 600 impedance).
 
It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm sure you'll all understand!

I know, that's why I didn't want to ask. Hoping to get some sane responses before the trolls arrive. :wink: I hear that about mid-range and well-built. Lots of times it's the connectors and connections that are making the difference.

It's really not that complicated.  The cable(s) depend on the system and the weakest link (so to speak.)  It's really a match between the losses in the system (e.g. treble/ mid/ bass vs harmonic representation  from subtle timbre nuances etc.)  So, cables either compensate or attenuate a system as a whole and at the same time affect nuances in the music based on music type and harmonics.
 
So it really depends on a lot of factors!  Welcome to the void and enjoy!
