Hello Friends...
 
Im so glad this thread exists! I bought a wa6se back when Wooaudio offered black gate/v cap upgrades for the wa6se. I have been very happy with it with my AKG701 and Duet.
 
Im now in search for a different set of cans. How do you feel about D7000 and their synergy with wa6se? Is there anybody here with that set up?
 
I mostly listen to jazz. I had bought the akg701 and wa6se to give me the most natural, real, detailed sounding cymbals and drum set sound possible. (Im a jazz drummer sound my ears tend to want to hear the drums first)
 
Should I stay with my current set up and be happy with it?

There are a few headfi'ers that have the D7000s or LA7000s with the WA6SE, its a very good synergy (I myself have the D7000s). With the right tubes and rectifier I have found the D7000 to have better synergy with the SE than the T1 and HE500 (so its worth checking out).
 
As far as staying with your current setup, thats an option, but the AKG701s are a very different sounding headphone than the D7000s so it would be nice to have both for times your craving different sound signatures..

Thank you for the advice. Now I'm trying to learn about the D7000 as much as I can. I don't live in a place where I can go and try one. Now I'll be saving money for something I hope I will like! This is a hard hobby sometimes.

i just recently bought D7000 with the basic lawton mod (Baby LA-7000s) and i love them. i love them so much infact they replace my ultrasone pro 900 as my bass head headphone, and rival the LCD-2 for best headphone for electronic/rap/hiphop/mainstream music.
 
i love them, i finally have a headphone i can listen to at night when my roommate sleeps lol
 
i use WA6-SE to drive them

Would you say that d7000 is a bass head headphone? Would you use it for classical or jazz?

Would you have any can recommendations for acoustic music for the Wo6SE?? I'm trying to move up from AKG 701. I'm reading the forums daily, but I can't find enough evidence to move up. Maybe a there are headphones with a "different" sound signature but not necessarily "better".

totally agree that the D7000s rival the LCD2s for electronic music, in fact, I prefer them with my WA6SE.. Soo +1

yes, the bass doesn't leak into the mids, especially on a lawton modded d7000. the bass is there when it needs to be and doesn't get in the way for slower music. amazing headphone that works for a wide range of genres.

I've noticed even without the Lawton mod you can neutralize the bass a bit and bring out the mids with the right power tubes and rectifier (in my experience the GE 6DE7 paired with the EML 5U4G did this).. beauty of tube rolling

BTW Dubstep Girl, how do you feel about the D7000s in comparison to your T1s?
 
I personally felt like the Denons were better all arounders, ended up not keeping my T1s...

 

[Dubstep Girl]

denon = best all arounders along with LCD-2.
 
the T1 are better headphones though in terms of detail, soundstage, and just overall resolution. however, they aren't for everyone. the d7000 have a very fun sound to them, t1 have a more refined balanced sound with slight warmth and bass bloom.

Sorry 1 more question, how does your HD800 pair with the SE? That was the next headphone I had my eyes on, one reason being I think its so much different than the headphones I currently own..
