Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

[Clayton SF]

Hey, WarriorAnt. I just noticed your avatar. You're wearing an LCD-2! Cool. Yes. I do have too many amps. Since I've found it quite impossible to audition amps by going to meets I just buy them. Then I can't get sell them. They all have their unique signatures. As your profile states: you're an Aesthetic Junkie. And to that I can certainly relate.

Also, the TSA guy flipped out when he looked at my iPod/CLAS/SR-71B portable stack.  He cracked a bit of a smile and asked me what they usually do when they see it and I said, I was not sure this was my first time.  He looked at it, shrugged his sholders, and moved it over to xray.  Nobody else said anything about it.

Interesting he took notice. I've done about 6 flights now, internationally and domestic, with pretty much the same stack, I've not even been asked to take it out of my bag.

Maybe that beard is giving you a shady look and they are profiling you!

Did you listen on the plane? Curious how open headphones would fair with all that noise.

Enjoy the trip.

The Woo WA 6SE is on very top of the list but it's getting a lot of competition from the Lyr, The Decware Taboo, The Decware Mini Torii, The soon to be announced Corvina, Schiits anticipated new amp, and the Analog Design Labs Svetlana 2.  Thats a lot of amps vying for my wallet and clawing at the Woo...
 
"From Downtown!..."

Geez.... Shiit audio is really putting out a lot of, uhhh............ Shiit in a short period of time. 

  I think those guys need to give their existing products a chance to actually sell a bit before putting out yet another new one.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 and how it pairs with their Woo amp? I am looking into some headphones around the $800-$1K mark and came across these. It's just another phone to throw into the mix. Eek!

Get the LCD-2 and be done with it.  I owned the AD2000 and it is a great amp but I don't think the Woo is a great match, the only amp I love with AD2000 is ATH-HA5000.  Personally, I think it is more voiced to Asian vocals.

Yeah, the WA6 pushed the vocals on the ATH-AD2000 too forward for me, and the LCD-2 or HE-500 pair better with it than the AD-2000.  I actually liked my ATH-ESW10JPN on the WA6 more, and sold my AD-2000 eventually (has Cardas cable done by Moon Audio).

For me the AD2K was just okay on my Woo, I actually like it best out of my portable rig (iMod>Vcap>Arrow) but it's also pretty decent out of my HTR's headphone jack.

IMO the MHDT Balance Havana & WA22 make a great combo especially for HD800
The MHDT guys are great to deal with as well.

Now on deck awaiting review...
 
Looking forward to a Midnight rendezvous with the MHDT LAB Balanced Havana. Maybe if I can catch Clayton in between auditioning amps in the near future, we could mate the Havana to his WA22. 

   (Would like to thank Robert of 'Aphrodite Cu29' kindly for this evaluation.)

Yes I do. http://emotiva.com/interconnects.shtm
As I've mentioned. This weekend is open if you'd like to drop on by. Actually I do have a few chairs, although they may not be the most comfortable ones, so Guests Beware.

Yes, they are. I also like their design philosophy and approach. I'm looking forward to hearing this combo soon (this weekend?).

Please keep this between us and don't tell anyone else, but I did try them on the plane, and had to go back to my Bose noise canceling headphones.  Please don't tell any of the guys because I would not want it know that I am using a pair of Bose headphones.  Man I am still so jet lagged I don't know what end is up.  Really glad we have PM's here on the board.

Jet-lagged .  .  .
 
It's likely, since mikemalter won't be shaving, he could afford to sleep in a bit before room service comes knockin'.   

     Time for my own power nap to restore my soul... and hearing. Back @ lunch!

 

[shipsupt]

Your secret is safe with me! 

  
 
Guys, we may need to talk about Mike's membership in the Woo-Club... I mean we have to have standards, right?

I hope not, because I don't have any bribe money to keep myself in with.

So I turned on my WA6SE tonight and put on a CD, but I can barely hear the sound even with the volume turned up high.
 
I hear the music (very faintly mind you) so I figure everything has power etc....all lights are working and so on. I've tried multiple headphones so I know it isn't the headphones causing the issue.
 
Have you guys experienced this sort of thing before?
 
Do any of you know what might be the cause of this?
 
(Please help!)
