If your DAC is edgy bright the EML the way too go. Now just need 300hrs.

Good luck with the durability!
They certainly sound great

I hope they don't break. I need the tube to get brighter.

You do like to live dangerously!

I have a crazy son had to proof everything when we moved in our new house. So he creates danger. That one time when part of tv wall mount was stick in out of the sheetrock. We put in new floors and he pee'd down the vent. We had to glue his mouth shut. Only place he is good is in Catholic school.

They sound smoother with the 1266 using denaphrips Pontus 2. KR 300B more energy. I need to see how my other headphones sound. The KR300b sound perfect off my Wells Audio Cipher tube DAC. So things depend on synergy of what you like.

Was there any reason in particular why you didn't go after EML's mesh 300B?

I don't like mesh sound. I had 2a3 and 300b 2.5 mesh and they had no edge to the sound. Too soft for me and speed is not as fast. This makes it real lush sounding. Not the sound character for edm.

Isn't the Wa5 worse for EDM than the Wa33?

I always had the impression it had a warmer "tubier" sound than it's big brother.

Your Wells Dragon is probably a bettrr fit for EDM, Isn't it?

 

[Bonddam]

The 5 is perfect for edm. Warm doesn't mean slow. I love tubie sound it's so 3D. The Dragon has tighter bass and is faster but isn't as holographic.

The WA2 that I bought used wasn't good for my music.

 

[Redcarmoose]

It’s not really all that warm either. I agree perfect for EDM.

That's interesting, I thought that mesh in EMLs actually means faster and more powerful sound. Thanks though!

Quick question for WA5 LE owners. While the WA5 is powered on, can you hot swap headphone cables?

Thanks!

Check this out. I ordered kr274b non hp so when then came I had to remove the Sophia 274b. I use two hands and this happened. So if I knew which lead goes into which pin I could fix it myself. What makes me angry is warranty thing is fishy. I got them from Woo and didn’t know about 30days vs 1 year. How would you feel. Got to pay woo to fix it. I want Sophia to fix it. Warranty sounds stupid on tubes by Sophia. So to end this was in the socket with a broken seal but vacuum is 100 percent fine. Maybe I’ll crazy glue all my tubes
