^ Thanks. I see that you've slipped out of your diving gear and into a comfortable shirt. Nice touch. GoodMusic + WA22 = GoodLife. Nice equation! And speaking of an equation: I wonder which headphones A.Einstein would have paired with his Woo?

 

[Clayton SF]

And it's a very Good Life, yes?

I am just about to order a WA2, been emailing back and forth with Jack about WA6 SE vs WA2 for vinyl source and RS1i.
 
I noticed most everyone here says go WA6 SE but Jack seems to say WA2 has better synergy. What you guys think?

 

[grokit]

I think that Jack is never wrong about these issues!

I would trust Jack. I was thinking in buying a WA22 because my sources and headphones are all balanced but Jack told me the WA5-LE was a better amplifier and match. I confirmed the in a listening test and bought the WA5-LE eventhat it is Single Ended and I am very happy with it.
 
Jack is very honest and will give you the right advice.

I had a headphone nirvana experience I've never had before the Woo.  I was listening to a FLAC live recording of Jeff Beck playing at the Park West Chicago on the WA22+T-1's.  I was listening and it sounded like I had the speakers running, took off the headphones and............no speakers on.  Wow!

Beck live + WA22 + T-1??? Hope you weren't rudely interrupted during that session...

So today I had my first audio purchase of the New Year. I had a moratorium for the last quarter of 2010, boy did I hold out deep into 2011...I waited until January 6th before I took the plunge.

I had thought of the DNA Sonnett with is a beautiful looking amp, but some reports from people I really respect around here of it being not the greatest to keep up with the 600 ohm T1s had me go with the WA2.
 
I just ordered the WA2 from Jack. Should be here in 2 weeks. I am definitely still keeping my MAD transformer coupled amp to drive my RS1i (best combo I've heard yet) and my Ed. 8s (I prefer this amp with them over the Concerto). I plan to use the WA2 to drive my T1s/HD800s and LCD-2s. So that kinda leaves my Concerto as odd man out. I guess, I'm just a tube guy. I won't sell my Concerto until the WA2 arrives for some A-B comparisons first.
 
Now the let the waiting begin.

Interesting...I would also go with Jack (he would know), but an OTL amp is usually not ideal for low impedance (non-planar) cans. Interesting...I will see how it compares to my MAD Amp....very interesting.

Welcome to the Woo Club, Peter! Glad to have you here.

I thought so too, he firmly stated that it works extremely well with low Z cans like the RS1i. I asked him several times. I am gonna take the plunge and order the stock WA2 in black. its in the shopping cart I just have to pull the trigger.......was going to go with the MAD Ear + HD for the RS1 but the looks, 4 inputs, and the preamp function of the WA2 have me on board.

Hero - I'm curious to know how the WA2 handles the LCD2s.  My trigger finger has been a bit itchy there, to have as a companion to my T1s with my WA22!
 
Ice - you know what I mean, right?!
