Hello fellow Head-fi'ers.  I am at it again.  I bought a pair of HD650's (on a thread here somewhere) a month ago that are currently paired with a Maverick Audio D1 DAC/AMP with an upgraded preamp tube (looking into upgrading the OP-AMP) and I'm looking to go with tubes this time around.  I'm...

Hey Folks.   No real reason to post except to say that, after a chat with Jack and reading many posts here, I put in my order for a WA3 to pair with my beloved HD650s (with Blue Dragon cable).   In the past, I have owned Singlepower PPX3 Slam, Mapletree HD+, Earmax Pro -- all great amps...

Woo3: I could not help myself, I have to modify. This amp is really singing now. It is hard for me to keep my hands off of anything, even if it appears that there is little to be done, but even before I got the Woo3, I knew it would be a good, though small, platform to work with. Out of the...

Need a headphone amp for the studio that can properly push these puppies (600ohms). I mostly record hip-hop/rap so I want something that'll make the bass stand out and the vocals come thru clean. I heard tube amps are the way to go for 600ohms headphones. Suggestions? I'm ready to purchase and I...

Alright, so I have 600 ohm dt990's at the moment, and despite a lot of complaints, I really like them running from my built in amp in my nfb-12. However I heard a decent tube amp will really make these shine. Is the woo audio wa3 the best rig amp wise I could get sub $500? I took a look at some...

My challenge to you, Head-Fiers:   I need a set of headphones costing around $200 that will approach the sound of the Beyer DT 880 driven by a WA 3.   Madness?...probably. I suppose a more reasonable way to phrase my dilemma is that I like Beyer detail with the highs rolled off a bit...

...

Let me see if posing this more generally kicks off more discussion. I have a set of low impedance phones that are on the bright end of the spectrum, with which I'd like to pair a nice warm tube amp. I am attracted to the Woo amps because they have a great reputation and aethetically seem way...

Hello Head-fi,   I recently purchased a Beyerdynamic T1, but I don't have an amp to drive it.   I'm trying to listen to it with FiiO E9, but it just doesn't sound good enough for me.   I've read though hundreds of posts and threads, but most of them are leading me to >$800 amps like...

Hello everyone!   I had left a thread last week for your advice for a headphone for my needs. After all the suggestions, I'm going to buy a pair of AKG 702.   Now I'm having difficulty choosing an amp! I asked couple of the more experienced headfi'ers privately about it. I'll be...

Just got some Sony SA5000 headphones. I currently have an X-Can V3 amp running stock. I was hoping to get someone to do the pink floyd mods on it for me in Sydney but have had no luck finding someone. So I thought maybe I should sell it and put the extra into getting a WA6. However reading the...

Have the Bottlehead now, which I built a few years ago.  Very nice headphone amp.  Overkill, though, in terms of power (2W).  Am considering trying the Chazz and/or the Woo 3.  Anyone heard 2 or even 3 of these?   My cans are AT 900 Ltd and AKG 701s.   I am probably going to order the...

I'm looking to buy a headphone amp in the near future and am considering both the WA3 and the WA6. Headphones will be either AKG 701s or Beyerdynamic 880s (250 Ohm) and the source will be a tube FM tuner. I know that this is a difficult question to answer but is it worth springing for the...

Hello Everyone!   I thought this email exchange between me and Jack will be helpful for everyone who are considering a new amp. I am posting it below:   The WA2 is a significant upgrade from the WA3. I recommend it over the WA3 because the WA2 produce much greater output, better...

Hello All,   I am planning to pull the trigger on a T1 + STAGEDAC + either a CONCERTO or a WA3 with NOS tubes upgrade. Any suggestions?   Of course, I think in part this is about whether one prefers SS or Tube, but I've heard great things about the Concerto's low noise floor and detail...

I have been wanting to get a tube amp to pair with my Koss A250s for a while and have decided now is the time. I haven't been on here for a while and seems like their has been an explosion of new gear. Last I checked the Woo Audio amps seemed like the benchmark in the $5-600 range. Is that still...

I have been reading through the various threads on the Woo Audio amps but haven't been able to get a clear idea of the difference in the sound sigs of these two amps. I will be using the amp with my Koss A250s, they are very bright and super fast headphones (which I love) I have always wanted to...

I plan on going into detail eventually on this subject, but haven't seen a 3+ tuberolling thread yet, so I figured I'd start one... A little background: The 3+ is my first tube amp, and my posts tend to be more on the "impression" side than the technical "I measured a slight rolloff in the...

I can't seem to find a SOLID ANSWER to this question after reading 4+ hours of forum messages,   so I hope you don't mind if I ask you myself:     With my HD650's should I get the WA3 or WA6. There's a $125 price difference.   It will be my first headphone amp, so please don't send...

I know these two amps are in different price leagues but is the Woo Audio worth the extra money? Currently the MK III can be had for about $225 and the Woo Audio 3 for $495 plus shipping. I am using a set of beyer dt770's and wondering if I should get the Woo Audio 3 or if the Little Dot MK III...

I'm currently waiting for my new but Used HD650s from a member. I'm wondering what would be a nice amp for this bad boy around $500 or so. If its cheaper but still pounds then that would be good also. I'll be listenining to pretty much all sorts of music also. And would tube be better for...

Hey guys,   I have been using a Compact Tube Hybrid Amplifier (CTH) with my Grado RS-1 for some time now but im looking to upgrade to the Woo Audio WA3. Can anyone help me out deciding if its worth the extra ~130 or so to upgrade? Any thoughts on the amp with RS-1's?

i was thinkin about upgrading to a WooAudio 6..   i have the SennHD650's with a custom ClouCable and Bluejeans Cable.     will i notice a huge difference between the 3 and the 6.     i have upgraded tubes for the 3..

I'm ready to buy my first tube amp for my DT880. I'm thinking about the Little Dot MK III or Phenix G3. Is there someone who has both amps and can compare them? Maybe I will not buy a tube but a solid state amp, probably the Meier Corda Swing, so every comparison with that one is also welcome!

  Full review of the Woo Audio 3 WA3 here. There are loads of pictures, glowing exposures, and RMAA measurements.    I've been using full size headphone amps since 2003; my first love was Meier, and to be honest, I'd go back that way in a heartbeat if I had the room. On my desk this month...
