I give up on your new headphones...Diana perhaps ? I have tried the Abyss TC was not that impressed but am going to try a demo at home and try the different adjustments as suggested by others along with the Diana.
I must admit I did push the boat out when I ordered the JPS version when the SE sounds so good with upgraded tubes.

Diana is good for anything but not hip hop and edm. Unlike the 1266tc that has big bass but lacks thatmid bass snap with edm which is all I listen to.

I've read all 49 pages of this thread. I think that is a first for me Thanks to everyone for contributing!

I've settled into deciding to buy a wa33. I'm currently running mscalar->hugo tt2->Abyss Phi TC.

I'm curious if anyone has any actual hands-on experience with the JPS Labs edition of the WA33 Standard? It seems most of the experiences posted here are about the Elite+Jps edition.

I'm fairly settled on the ~$13-14k budget for a new amp. So I'm trying to decide between the Wa33 Elite or the WA33 JPS Standard.

same with me.

I need to know how different between Jps Standard vs WA33 standard , as i can not sell so easily in here if i don't like it.
it must be my endgame if i buy it .

It is out Of The budget . I can’t Afford it.

USD17.5k ouch!

I barely visit their site unless I'm looking at tubes. You could by Honda Civic for that money!

IMHO, the 33 Standard Edition is a lot of performance for the money. It pairs phenomenally well with many high-end headphones. It is the version I would buy.

I’m also a car guy so i’ll use a car analogy. The Standard is the Lamborghini Huracán, class-leading performance and still within reach of car enthusiasts. This is the model I would buy.

Elite Edition is the Lamborghini Aventador, the ultimate performance when only the best will do.

you are going to need to upgrade tubes unless elite comes with kr tubes. The JPS you get better internal wire(is there proof) on the inside and KR tubes. If you where buying standard you'd be spending the same amount minus the JPS wire. If you get the Elite then you'll need 4k for the best tubes or do EML 300B 2.5 volt mesh or solid(these are amazing) power tubes. I spent close to 3k EML,EH,andTakasuki.

I think I'm going to take the plunge with the WA33 Standard JPS Labs edition. Seems like there aren't many direct impressions/reviews. So I'm going to be the first. Ordering tonight and will report back when it arrives!

to clarify the different versions.

The version(s) we offer on our website does NOT include the KR Audio tubes. The version ABYSS offers on their website does.

On our website, all version(s) are shipped with the same default "stock" tubes. Upgrade tubes can be purchased separately. We have many options available.

The customer can choose between Standard or Elite Edition with "JPS Wiring" or without.

How much can I save by ordering the Lowe's/Home Depot wires edition?

Never heard of this Edition.
What is different?

Well at Lowe's you can get 50 feet of wire for ~ $15, from JPS Labs Illuminata 10 ft * 2.5 since it's listed as a pair = $22,475. I know that's a ridiculous comparison. Hopefully you have a sense of humor.
