    The Woo Audio 2

    All this WA2 love is just overwhelming... or .... I could say about bloody time. I suppose some are just a bit slower to catch on than others. cheers Simon

    Where is Singlepower? Where is Mikhail?

    Woo Audio WA2 and the PDPS "mod"

    It is good to see quite a few more WA2's getting out there. I have a maxxed 6X4 version with all the blackgates etc etc etc. I would be interested in a comparison with the newer EZ80 version. Anybody heard both?? cheers Simon

    Woo Audio WA2 Review

    One of the things I like about my Woo 2 is that it does not get overly hot. Strange. cheers Simon

    I want a dark and bassy portable headphone amp

    Open phones on an airplane?

    HD25-1s are great cans for travel. Very robust, good sound. DT770s highly overrated in my books. cheers Simon

    Finally!! the GS1000 is here :)

    GS1000, a great headphone. I have about 6 or 700 hours on mine. These were an impulse buy! They only need a max of 100 hours to sound great. They are fantastic with the Woo WA2. The soundstage and detail is what won me over after a 5 minute audition in a shop in Melbourne. So much for the...

    Dorm Room Battle: A900 v DT 770 v AKG K271

    I have given both the 80 and 250 a go, amped. The 250 is marginally better. Still doesn't cut it for me. They both sound muddy to me. My A900s I use at work with a Headroom MicroAmp and MicroDac. They can be used unamped quite successfully, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the...

    Dorm Room Battle: A900 v DT 770 v AKG K271

    A900s or AKG271. The DT770 is way overrated. They have always sounded like mush to me. I have A900s and I like them. The AKG271 isolates better, sounds good, but I lean towards the A900. cheers Simon
