This is the third time this song came up and the intro vocals had me suddenly jumping and turning my head because I thought my gf was behind me trying to get my attention. Not once, not twice but it got me again.
Anyways, wanted to share because it speaks to the holographic synergy between WA23 and Susvara and that special realistic timbre of vocals .
Also, I spoke to Michael and he suggested the following tube rolls-I read the insightful impressions on the Tak 2A3s, but anyone have experience with the WE5842 driver tubes? Or the KR Audio 274B rectifier? (since it seems that the Tak rectifier can impact the lushness of the midrange due to its technical nature). Wish it were easier to demo these things without having to blind-buy!
Michael from Woo:
"The Takatsuki 2A3 upgrade tubes are significantly better than the stock tubes in every way. We also recommend the following upgrade tubes for your system.
- Western Electric 5842 (driver tubes)

- KR Audio 274B (rectifier tube)

I'm having this crazy thought of using the WA23 as a pre for the 465 (not always) and also using it separately.

I use it to pre for the Enleum, prefer the WA23/Enleum alone for headphones. However, when i drive my speakers with the enleum, it sounds much much better with the WA23 in the chain.
