Anyone here know how many watts the WA5 puts into the LCD2 on the low impedance setting? Also is it the same amount of watts with the added fazor tech?

Nice, very nice, looking forward to your comments after they have been run in.

I don't have to comment after run in. Straight from new they sound better than anything I have heard. These are super lush. Does that settle or get even better with age? I am the lush king and they even exceed my limit. I might finally have a use for the Tung-Sol 7236 and the Bendix 6080 graphite plate power tubes. As they are more SS sounding. It will tame a little lushness.

I only have experience with the 6SN7 variety, but yes in my experience they improve a lot over the initial 100 hours

Well, they're finally here; Telefunken E88CC. They're new tubes so I'll have to let them burn in for a few days so I'll give full impressions then. I'm enjoying them already, though.

Nice...what's that power tube in the pic; I can't see it? Did you land a TS 5998? Great combo with your new E88CC-TKs if that's the case.
 
Enjoy!

Yep, it's the TS 5998, had it for about a week and I absolutely love it.
 
Thank you so much for the suggestions, you've been very helpful!

New tubes!
 
Just when I thought I was finished and had found my favorite pairing, I stumbled across a pair of late '50s . early '60s Telefunken E288CC (which I believe are really Siemens Munich tubes, re-branded as Teleys).
 
When I first plugged these in, there was a noticeable hum; that has gone away after about 10 hours of use and... wow, what unbelievable warmth and tone. The mids are incredible, although there isn't the same clarity as some others I have (e.g. the new mfg. Tele E88CC-TK). This combo nicely tames the HD-700s.

that tube damper looks very cool. Is it from Mapleshade?

It is, in fact, from Mapleshade. It's an experiment and it wasn't very expensive ($35.00 US, IIRC). I have a couple of power tubes that exhibit some sound artifacts (microphonics, I suppose).
 
With a smaller power tube (TS 7236) it seems to work really well; with one of my WE 421a that has some slight noise that comes and goes, it doesn't seem to quiet the noise. It may have to do with position or maybe it just doesn't really work.
 
It's a brass collar with three adjustable contact points that gets super hot when the tube heats up and takes longer to cool down than the tube does, itself; if it's acting as a heat-sink, that could be a good thing for tube life. It also comes with a little copper ribbon that you attach to the amp to act as a ground. In theory, this will "shield" the tube from EMI/RFI effects. At one time I was struggling with this, with a number of tubes, but I simply moved gear around isolate the Woo from Wi-Fi transceivers and that was the end of that issue.
 
We'll see... I have to admit, however, that I kind of dig the appearance, snake-oil or not...

Looking for some help here:

I have a WA2+Beyer T1+Senn 600s....I love my T1s but I find myself searching for more bass response.

Someone else in this thread,long ago, recommended Audeze LCD2s.Luckily my HiFi dealer had a pair that he loaned me.
 
Before I go on a rant,let me preface by saying the LCD2s were completely brand new,zero break in time.Sadly I dont have the time to break them in.

That being said,my T1s tore them to pieces.My T1s have less than 100 hours on them,but there wasnt a single song/genre where the Audezes sounded remotely close....except for certain parts of certain songs where female vocals sounded more liquid....other than that the bass was muddy,highs cluttered,and soundstage wasnt even in the same stratosphere.
So this leads me to my question....can anyone recommend a set of cans(closed or open)that have good bass response and offer good SQ and soundstage that works well with The WA2?

Try an HD-650. With my WA3 and the right tubes, I wouldn't want more bass than what is provided with that combo, speaking personally. I've read the bass response is significantly increased over the HD-600 and, as you know, the Woo OTLs are killer with the HD-650.
