Definitely would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the WA23 as well. My setup is fairly similar (or at least will be) - have a Envy with WE's and and have an Aegis on order. I'm interested in grabbing a WA23 as I've demoed it a few times at Canjam/Audio shops briefly and enjoyed it. But...

Envy, of course

Same here! Not that I need any more headphone amps, but I'm genuinely looking forward to hearing it with all the rave reviews it and its DIY counterpart are getting. :beerchug:

How tall is the Aegis? I'm about to pull the trigger on one, but I'm curious as to whether or not it'll fit on the shelves in my AV rack

Have both and can't imagine letting go of either. They sort of fill different niches for me in terms of what theyre good at/bring to the table and which are best with different sets headphones. I think I'd say I prefer the Envy slightly more overall, (something just fantastic about 300B's...

I got you: :beerchug: Taken from here (the other immanis thread): Still not sure if I'd prefer this or the Valkyria. I do really like the sr1a/ca1a though

Just listened through the new Justice Album Anyone else listen to it? If so, what'd ya think? sounds phenomenal on the 1266 :jecklinsmile:

Hahaha. See my line of thinking is that could be another headphone...or at least part way to one. The price of that cable could put me part of the way towards a valkyria Eh I'll prolly cave eventually

It kills me that a 10 foot SC cable is like 3000 dollars though. It is no doubt nicer than stock, but As much as I've spent stupid amounts of money on this hobby I have trouble parting with 3k for a cable.

Agreed, the Envy doesnt get as hot as my OTL amp or the WA33, but I still wouldn't stack it. It still gets pretty damn warm and generates a TON of heat. I'd tend to think the wood tends to act as an insulator so its less obviously than an amp where it has a unibody metal chassis (like mentioned...

I realize this is seemingly the solution to everything on this forum, but I can't recommend enough a 300B amp for the tungsten. The bass and subbass are really really nice with it. (Prolly won't make one magically enjoy it if they don't already, but it is a genuinely enjoyable experience) I've...

It's definitely in the cards at some point this year. I heard the WEs on an envy in the ZMF room at canjam last year. Was phenomenal. Suffice it to say I had an envy on my desk a month later. :ksc75smile: Do you have any recommendations for the driver tubes as well or did you leave yours stock...

Headphones arrived quickly and in great condition. Second time buying from Bonddam. Easy to work with and highly recommended !

Have both. Ive spent a lot more time with the Envy than the wa33EE. I...honestly think I prefer the Envy somewhat (there's something amazing about the texturing that 300B brings especially to bass notes). I have not upgraded tubes on either. That said, I really like the wa33 and it really...

This is entirely anecdotal, but WE's seemed to pair really well with the atriums to the point where I preferred them to the Caldera on the Envy
