Having heard a variety of headphone amps at CanJam in RMAF last fall, I expected that my main interests would lie with Burson and Woo. Unfortunately, Burson wasn't around (neither was Decware). It was strange - most of the hi-end headphone brands were present (Stax, Sennheiser, HiFiMan, Audeze, Kingsound, Grado, etc.) - but of the renowned headphone amp companies, basically Woo was it.
So I was in the weird position of having loved the 22 balanced, but choosing to get the 6SE since it fits in better with my system. I will be picking up the show sample on Sunday at the end of the show, and will be a fellow Woozie soon!
Thanks for the welcome guys! Dubstep - the tubes running are all stock. The WA22 is running Sylvania 6080's and drivers (cv181's I think) along with the Shuguang rectifier. The WA6SE, which will be mine tomorrow, is running GE power tubes along with tr Shuggy.
My plan is to order the Princess rectifier, and likely the 6GL7 tubes/converters. Though I may ask if Jack has any 596's left based on the strong reviews on here.
I am really considering of joining the Woo Audio family due to my new T1 headphone.
Right now there is a second hand WA6SE available near me, would like to hear some opinions on how it pairs with T1, when comparing with WA2?
Thanks a lot!

Skylab and Dubstep girl spoke very highly of the T1 + WA2 combo.
Thanks Caffeinated!
Have gone through the link quickly and find most people like T1/WA2 comb.
You're welcome!
I knew about that thread because I too have been doing research with the goal of upping my head-fi game.
I just purchased a Wa2, Gungnnr DAC, and HD800's on the for sales forum yesterday. I'm now counting the minutes until they arrive next Friday.
^ oooh sounds like a good combo. i do enjoy my WA2/Hd800 alot, what tubes are you getting with WA2?
Finally, I like the fact that the WES has no circuit boards, no ICs, and uses point-to-point wiring. Every integrated circuit will one day fail. Every printed circuit board will one day get a short or have a component failure. What happens with the BHSE in 20 years when that happens? Will Justin be around? Hopefully... but what if he isn't? The BHSE will become an expensive, huge, paper weight. With the WES, you just replace the failed component.
yes!
the WA2 is an overall better pairing with T1. though the WA6-SE is a good choice too (with proper tubes, otherwise the T1 will sound a little too aggressive and bright). still theres more sweetness with the WA2, great tonality, the highs aren't harsh, and the bass is deep and strong with the WA2. the WA6-SE will be more SS like and be more detailed and spacious with the T1, though not as smooth and sweet sounding.
