This is great... as is your enthusiasm! This thread can use a freshening up with more pix. Although, it is unclear how your event tomorrow made it onto my iPhone. 

 The magic of Woo, I suppose...
 

Yes, simple the magic of Woo.

SilentOne, 
 
By the way, thank you for your new years message, I didn't read it until some time later. Please PM me your address for your cd, no need to pay me. 
 
 
 
So coming back to Head-fi has one downfall, reading about all this gear....now I'm wondering about what I need to spend my money on next.. Funny how I didn't think about this when I took a break from this site for a few months. 
 
 
6GL7 + tube adaptors..can be a nice upgrade. I am happy with my dac (apogee duet) and my headphones (akg 702).. 
 
Do I really need to spend on a new dac or cans?? Am I missing out?

I"ve just my my Woo WA2 last week.... got some upgraded tubes, but using the stock ones at the moment.... black in colour..... after a couple of days is sounding very nice indeed.... I'm using it mostly as a pre-amp, MDac, and NA7004 network player feeding FLAC music..... the sound is both detailed and warm, with the Mdac providing a large dynamic range, including bottom end.... I'm very, very happy with the set up ... only one week old and less then 50 hours on the woo ..... 
 
for cans I have a HD650 with Moon audio silver cables... very nice, but I'm mostly listening through my speakers (monitor audio RX8).... nice bit of kit ....

I am also using my WA2 as a preamp for my speaker system. It is detailed and has that magic sound--it puts the life back into recorded music. The power amp is a Decware Taboo and the speakers are Zu Audio Standard Omens. I love using my WA2 as a preamp.

Awesome congtats, I may want to use the WA2 as a preamp one of these days (when I can afford another Woo) haha.
 

 

[grokit]

One of these days I'm going to turn my WA22 into a balanced preamp kind of like Seamaster's back in the day, but with a minor variation.

Yes. The Taboo power amp will drive you crazy-good paired with the WA2.
It is a match made in Heaven Wooville!

Clicked, and enlarged. Very nice!

loving my WA6-SE / WA2 combo. however, the WA2 is a fantastic amp with my T1 and HD 800, absolutely stunning.
 
and the WA6-SE works great with my LCD-2.
 
i do use the WA2 because it adds alot of needed warmth and sweetness back into digital recordings.

 

[shipsupt]

With the right tubes the 6 SE is very good with the HD-800. The power and dynamics of the SE pair up nicely with the 800's. The right tubes take any edge off. Good stuff.

How are the HD800's with the 6SE?  Would be interested in your thoughts between the 6 and the 2.  Thanks!

There was more than 2000 messages since my last entry!
 
I feel like I'm a little stuck.. or maybe I'm done upgrading?
 
At this point I don't even know what to save up for. Will I hear a big difference between  LCD2 and my AKG 702 for example, and will the difference be worth $1000? Will I honestly hear the difference between dacs, and if so which one is better?? The new woo dec looks great, but will I be able to hear the difference? I can't really get a conclusive vibe from the forums sometimes, it seems like everybody is boasting about their own equipment..
 
 
So you see, looks like I've been in the real world a little too long
