For everyone that is thinking of getting the WA7, the EH upgrade tubes are on backorder. Mr. woo told me that it will be around April when they receive them.
nice setup Suprbly, sure you are going get some love out of the WA7 once you get the tubes burned in good. Just order more Sovteks or better yet some NOS cryos.
Whats the web site for the NOS cyros?
@smellyfungus Would you say the cryos are better than the stock tubes?
@Crashem I got mine in about 2 weeks.
I got my WA7 today, with the EH tubes (I bought it used). It's certainly a beautiful, well-constructed device.
I came into this a skeptic with respect to the tube vs. solid state issue, and I'm also a newbie when it comes to the high-end headphone hobby, so take this with a grain of salt...
I currently have both the WA7 and my Schiit Asgard 2 set up side by side, and I've been switching back and forth using my Sennheiser HD800s. I don't think I can tell a definite difference between the two amps. Maybe I can try to talk myself into thinking the WA7 is a tad less harsh with sibilant songs, but if it's really any different, it's subtle. The WA7 certainly sounds great in absolute terms, but I'm just not sure it's *better.*
Obviously, I need to give this more time before drawing any real conclusions.
