Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

[188479]

Hi all:
Well it looks like I will be ordering my WA6SE next week...so one final question. I was thinking of getting a set of small powered speakers for the 5% of the time I don't use headphones. Should I get the loop out option and hook them up RCA to RCA via loop out or just get a 1/4 to RCA cable and run the speakers from the headphone out. Any benefit to doing it one way or the other?

There is no loop out on a 6SE, only two inputs.

I'm not sure there is any benefit in running powered speakers from the 6SE, why not connect to your source?

Loop out is an extra cost option on the 6se. Sure I could just connect the source...but I liked the idea of being able to switch sources with the woo and not have to unplug multiple things to use speakers!

MH is leaving Wooville?!? Looks like the BHSE deliveries are flooding the market with delicious TOTL used gear.

In my own audio nirvana the WA2 has taken over the new rig. I love the results so much that I am declaring it my personal endgame and have deleted my head-fi bookmark for the happiness of my wallet.

 
I may be selling my WA22, but I do plan to continue following this thread...its filled with such nice people.

wow never thought i'd see the day MH sells his WA22 lol.
 
 

 
Me neither. If anyone is interested, I just listed a plethora of my WA22 tubes this evening.

J,
 
I used to have the WA22 and have owned the Liquid Fire since the first shipment the beginning of August.  You can read my impression in the LF thread.  It is really an incredible amp.
 
 

 
And you are one of the people I blame for me leaving Wooville.

That'e the great thing about Wooville though, the gates are always open. I'll be a card carrying member again as soon as my WA5 shows up in about a week.
 
It's going to be a real burden comparing the WA5 and LF and deducing their relative strengths and weaknesses. Once I get through the horrors of life with the pair, I will report back in the appropriate threads. Perhaps there will be some foreign exchange program between Wooville and Cavalliland.
 
Though I really need to try out an LCD3 on them, MH. Perhaps we could work something out

Sounds like a great comparison...can't wait to hear your thoughts.
 
You're in the GTA right? Maybe a mini-meet when you get your WA5?

Yup, downtown and exactly what I was alluding to. 

 
I'll pm you once I've had it for a week or so... being 70lbs there may be no choice but to have me host it.
 
Do you have any 4 pin XLRs for the Audeze? (the WA22 would have accepted that, and I'm curious to try the 'K1000' jack on the WA5)

I'm not too far then. I'm using the Silver Dragon V3....4pin XLR w/ a balanced to SE adapter. so we should be good with the K1000 jack. Since you'll have the WA5 and LF (I won't need to bring my LF), but I"ve got a few other cans and I could bring my GS-1?

PM'ed MH.

And the ones from the second run are even better since there was a tweek or change in the power supply so the bass improved.

 
what are the serial starts at on the second batch?

 
Sorry don't know that buy I am almost sure they were produced this year.

MH, have you had a chance to compare your silver dragon v3 to any other cables? I am using it for my balanced headphone cable, and also had XLR interconnects made using the same cable. The only direct comparison I have been able to do so far has been comparing to Jenna Labs ultrawire.
 
I found the silver dragon 3 to sound much precise with better resolution and a more lively and involving sound in general. The Jenna Labs cable sounded a little loose, muddy, and unfocused in comparison. I'm curious how it stacks up in general with other options if you have been through more cables than I have.

I'm sure glad to have my WA22 and recliner to keep me company through about 120 pages of Law reading this weekend...

I tried Silver Dragon, TWag, and Q Audio with my LCD-2. I found that I like the Q the most.

+3 on the Q

I haven't had others except stock to compare to, but the ergonomics of the Q are superb. When I sold the LCDs I kept the Q .

And it comes with some of the best customer service I've come across.
