I hope it isn't another "yeah, most tubes are junk - so please pay more for some QC."
isn't that what all the sophia electric stuff is?

At least when I had a problem with Sophia the warranty was honored unlike another well known manufacturer.
well.. i ordered the KR 300b HP.. but from thecableco.com so i didn't have to pay taxes. 8 1/4% NY/NYC taxes is no fun. (they still order it from Abyss.. but ordered by WA5 only 2 weeks ago. So time.
Also, i refused to use the Suvarna with the stock cables so i'm waiting on the Wywire headphone cables.

Just got Sennheiser hd6xx they don't sound like 650. It's not veiled like a 650 unless the WA5 is that good. So for $220 I'm actually enjoying the sound. These don't require the sub bass to enjoy them there's more then enough tapping. I might add a Schiit eq to boost bass on my flat or rolled off headphones.

From this data base, they can extract any data whatsoever from texts and documents, with algorithms which get stronger every year. I regard it a threat. Read more about it....
Basically the company shouldn't offer warranty. The time wondering and fact they hide. I read what they wrote and they are weirdo's.
Why we did so:
Classic mailing lists have become a problem, because of free email accounts. These accounts are not fee at all. You pay with your privacy. They can find out your operating system, monitor size, GPS location, what items do you write about, what are people do you know, etc. They store each and every email you send or received ever since, and delete nothing.From this data base, they can extract any data whatsoever from texts and documents, with algorithms which get stronger every year.

doh. This thing is better than i thought it would be.
for scale it put the mj2 and a ps5 controller next to it.
now i have to work out how to have this near my desk without looking silly. It is larger than the PL evo 400

hrmm.. totally not loving how big it is. *sigh* but that is on me for not checking the size. I started with a wa33.. change the order because it was to big (and costly) to a wa22, but then got the susvara... and change the order again to a wa5
The wife already gave me the look... she didn't need to say anything.
maybe it will grow on me how much room it is taking up. (note, i'm in a 2 room NYC apt)
note the Sophia mesh tubes look really cool. (the KR HP 300b looks boring.. boo.)
sound? oh yeah.. (i'm focused on looks now as i'll be seeing them a billion times more than i hear them)
with no burn in on the tubes (other than the 5692s) they sound pretty good. Bass is much better on the susvara vs the SPL Phonitor X (or the mj2)
I'm really looking forward to trying them with the Utopia.
I also just ordered a RCAJAN 5962 and a Tung Sol 6SN7GT 1950 2-hole gray plates. They should be here on monday.
I find the Utopia picks up tube changes much more than the Susvara.

question for settings:
Susvara == High power, Low Impedance and High level?
Utopia == Low power, High Impedance (?), and Low Level?
It is the Impedance that confuses me a little. (unless i'm totally off on everything
)

Imo the Wa5 really doesn't look nearly as pretty as the Wa22 or Wa33.hrmm.. totally not loving how big it is. *sigh* but that is on me for not checking the size.

Only reason that kept me from getting one.
It is a very nicely priced 300B amp
