May I ask your suggestion for a set of balanced cables connecting between C.E.C TL51XR and WA22? My cans are HD800 and L3000. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Do i need better drive/power tubes too others than stock ones ? Thank you |

Learned that from a thread somewhere around saying that the sound of the EML 274B Mesh is even better than the Sophia (not sure, never try before and this is the one that I was targeted to my 6SE) but of course price higher. |

I thinking about a new amp and this one draws my attention the most ( the second on the list is an GS-1) Do you think an 6SE with Sophia will do the job? Do i need better drive/power tubes too others than stock ones ? Thank you |

i like the eml 274b as much as the sophia 274b. they're slightly different in sound signature. whereas the sophia's brutuish at the bottom register and round at top, the eml is slightly tamer at the bottom and very wide and extended at the top. great for L3000, senn 650 and oddly enough the GS1000. the eml 274b makes the GS1000 sound very balanced and magical at the top with a 3-d holographic thing going for it. and it requires less burn-in then the sophia to sound at its best. |

I recently discovered Woo Audio from reading the Steve Hoffman Music Forums. I want to use the upcoming Beatles Remasters as an excuse to upgrade my headphone gear. Currently using Etymotic ER-4S/ER-4P headphones and HeadRoom Ultra Micro Amp. I read that Steve Hoffman uses the Sennheiser HD-600/Woo Audio 6, and when I inquired via private message he highly recommend all things Woo! I've seen a lot of other people talking about that particular combination here in these forums, along with variations that include the HD-650, HD-800, (other great headphones), WA2, WA6 SE, WA22. So now the Newbie questions: Having noticed the HD-600/WA6 as a popular combination, are there other combos that have become popular with Woo Audio owners? Grados are very nice with the Woo WA6 also, as are all my high-end custom IEM. Is it generally true that one would most likely be happier (and lighter in cash Yes. Could you safely recommend to someone new "just spend what you can afford, borrow, or steal" and then search for the matching headphones of your choice? Any woo is a safe bet, but I liked the WA22 more than the WA6 and WA5. I missed hearing the WA6SE. You could get a used HD600 for $225-250 and enjoy it sooner than later. *add $30 for HD650 cable as an upgrade* Hit me with your best shot... And thanks! |
