Also, the output gain is restricted by the pre-amp depends on the voulme control.


I don't exactly know what that means :p Layman's terms please?

But if that's the case, is there another Pre-Amp you folks would suggest? (Hurting my wallet once again aren't you Head-Fi? Minimum Wage isn't enough for this hobby!)

Which mean you have 2 volume control on your set-up, one in the 750 and the other in your Woo amp. My question is how you dail your VC on your 750, is it all the way up to max? You can get 1.8V output if you turn your VC to the max and this would be a little low as a source's output, normally 2.0V is more reasonable. Also, the SQ would be affected by an extra VC.

Look for some MM phone amp with fix output gian for 2.0V or 2.25V but I dunno what exactly would cost. Do some google and may be eBay.

Hope this help.

It also depends on the output tubes that are in used. I can't appreciate the 6FD7 that I have and rolled it back to the stock 6EW7 which is more pleasant to listen to. The 6FD7 has too much gain and too rich, volume can hardly pass 10 where I am enjoying 6EW7 at 1130 without going deaf.

This is entire different scenario from my previous iPod to WA6 where decent volume was set to 4 o'clock. It confirms that WA6SE output is greater than WA6 and a decent DAC does helps.

My TC750 VC is all the way to the max, but I'll do some research on getting a new one

Also, as of right now I have all stock tubes in. I'm waiting to burn in a little bit before putting in the Sophia, so as to not "waste" her :p

Aren't your 6DF7's higher gain than 6DE7's? Maybe that's why your volume control is so low. Most of my CD's are played around 11:00 for a decent volume level. I've gone as high as 2:00 on certain older 60's recordings. There are so many variables such as how hot the performance was originally recorded, source, tubes, hearing sensitivity, etc..

Maybe, I tried my other tubes but never pass 11.

Nice! I am on the Ardbeg Committee and have nine different Ardbegs. Always have a bottle of Ardbeg Ten open, and currently sipping a Lord of the Isles

6fd7 tubes are indeed higher gain but with my Cyrus CD6 SE and GS1000s I never went past 9 o'clock with any driver tubes in the sockets.

Has anyone been in communication with him recently?


I got an email back from him on Friday at around 8:17PM (Actually, exactly then, thanks Gmail. :p) as he forgot to ship my R Headphone Stand along with my amp, so I had emailed him inquiring about it, and he shipped one off that day for me.

So he's around.

How long has it been since you ordered Covenant? I was getting antsy about my order too, almost emailed him about it, but then let it slide for another week and voila, he shipped it out and sent me a notice / tracking number. The whole 9 yards

Just about the feet for my amp. I had some "dry spells" communicating with Jack when I ordered my amp but he ALWAYS got to me eventually. I know it can be maddening when waiting for such an important piece of gear, but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. I also don't think it would be out-of-line after three days to forward him the email you sent again and ask him if he's received it.

I did just that, and he replied back with "It will ship tomorrow".

And I just got my USPS tracking notice a moment ago. w00t

Hi, do you think that WA22 is good for HD800? I consider to get it for my cans. Thanks.
