So I'm looking for a new desktop tube amp for around 500-650 US dollars to power my HD 650s and I was wondering which one of these two would do a better job? I've read a lot of reviews praising the synergy between the Lf 339 and hd 650s but the sketchy chinese website kinda freaks me out. On the...

Hi Guys,   First post on this forum I'm reading for a few months now... I've read a lot of interesting posts, but I'm a bit confused now with the choices I have to make. I listen to folk, blues, jazz, a bit of rock and classical. I will own a Sennheiser HD650 and have at the moment a RME...

New guy here so I should probably apologize for the newb post.  I have a ton of reading to do around here.   I am looking into headphone audio and the HD800s caught my attention.  I've been a regular on AVS for a while under the same handle so I am not a complete newb to audio.  I also tend...

Okay, I'm a newbie. I just ordered the wa6, I have the Fiio 9/17 combo and am wondering the best linkage of these or even if this is a good idea. Jack says the fiio combo will work with the RCA out but didn't go any further. Any advice would be awesome.

I am looking to pick up this combination in the following weeks.  Would you guys say this is a good combo or perhaps there is something better for the PS-500s?  Thanks for the input!

Hi guys, I bought a Sennheiser HD600 today on impulse, just after getting a Beyer DT880 250 ohms a week ago. This adds to my collection of Grado SR325iS, ATH-M50, ATH-AD700, AKG K550, etc. My music is predominantly rock, Blues, R&B and are usually from my iMac in Lossless and 320. I have an...

hi guys. thinking of upgrading my nuforce icon hd to another dac and headphone amp, and this time a separate unit. thinking of the little dot dac_II and little dot MK IV combo. what do u guys think? is it a worthy upgrade? reason i wanted to upgrade to tube amp is because i like the warmer...

Hello,   I'm quite interested in the Schiit Valhalla, and thought it could be a good first tube amp experience for me. I just ordered a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50, and was wondering if the Valhalla is good for driving them as they recommend having 300-600ohm cans on the Schiit site, and...

I just picked up some HD650's from Amazon and need an amp.   I know there are like six hundred and fifty billion threads about the HD650 and amps on here, and I think I've done a lot of digging and reading, but I keep getting confused about some things.   I'm looking to stay at or around...

old thread

I love how the wa6 sounds although with the hd650's that I am using it with I would like to hear a bit more attack and/or brightness .  Will the Sophia Princess rectifier really improve the wa6 in that respect or are we talking about a subtle improvement? I am looking for a rectifier tube that...

Hey all,   I'm thrilled to announce a totally new redesign of my all-time favorite headphone amp, the Glow Audio Amp One!   I still haven't had the pleasure of directly comparing it to a Woo Audio WA-6, but unless that were to radically change things, this is my absolute reigning champion...

Just curious...  are the Shure se535 IEM that much better than the UE tf10 as in price wise???    The se535 is about 2x the price of the UE tf10...   any thoughts please...  thanks

Hello Head-Fi! I just joined this forum and hope to learn and contribute as much as possible.   I have decided to take the plunge and get some 'audiophile' level equipment for my headphone "system". I am running B&W speakers and an SVS sub through a Denon A/V receiver via TOS Link from...

Hey Everyone, I'm a novice to audiophile and I'm trying to get a nice sound after all ^^ Current Rig: Headphones : T1/ED8 Dac/AMP : DacMini Source: MBPro   Genres: Trance/GeoTrance/Rock   I have made a to buy list but I need your advice on it or If there's something can add...

Don't read anything below, perhaps only the introduction if you'd want to do that. Otherwise just see my latest post, thank you.   Thanks for the help, I'm going to a audio specialist within 1-2 weeks, so I don't need any more help for now. I would like to hear some opinions about the...

Hello!   So Ive currently had a Argon HA2 DAC + Denon AH-D2000 setup for the last 2 years, and therefore looking for an upgrade.  I do not, unfortunaly, have any knowledge about headfi so I would like to get some help! My budget is max 2000 bucks and I do not mind buying used gear. ...

Hi, apologize if there are existing threads about Bladelius USB DAC, but I could hardly find any reviews here from searching.   To me, it's a quite portable, well designed and manufactured DAC, its portability is clearly what I'm after. But also, I want a asynchronous USB DAC that could be a...

I am looking for a DAC that is well worthy to combo with the Woo Audio WA6. My source will come from my PC and my Ipod Classic. I hope headfiers can give me indepth advices/recommendations in for kind of setup.   Thank you

This is kind of a follow up to my thread at http://www.head-fi.org/t/608458/integrating-headphone-amp-to-home-cinema-system-pre-power-amp-discussion.   I am the proud owner of some T1s, and I was amazed that people in the thread ^^ suggested plugging them into my receiver output.  From what...

I've am running a non SE WA6, currently with stock tubes and HD598.  I'm looking to upgrade tubes and cans.  I've read in the forums that HD650, T1, LCD-2 can match well with this amp, but I am looking for a closed headphone.  Fostex TH900 would be great, but too much $.  I listen to indie rock...

This is what happens to my files when I listen to them:   FLAC -> Foobar2000 (WASAPI) -> M-Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96 -> RCA Cables -> Woo Audio 6 -> Q-Audio Cable -> Audeze LCD-2   When I first start listening to music, the left ears sound cuts to nothing for around 5 seconds, and...

OK - Woo Audio WA6 is rated at 550 mW@ 60 ohms.   The other amp I am looking at is rated at: 64 ohms 3.6V 56mA   I am trying to figure out when powering LCD-2's, will the second amp have approximately the same power output as the WA6, which I am familiar with?     Thanks!
