    I love American Tom Hardy doing audiophile reviews...
    Seriously though, great production and presented video.

    WA22 is one of my favorite because it is so versatile and compact. Gorgeous b-rolls. Can see all the details in the tubes and the amplifier. This amp is phenomenal with Diana v2 by ABYSS headphones.

    Thanks for the great review! I really appreciated the OTL comparison 15:10
    How does Woo's lineup compare to Feliks Audio's tube offerings?

      Thank you! I like Feliks and Woo; both are terrific. The Woo amps edge out the Feliks amps for my preferences.

    Excellent video with copious amounts of usable information. Any idea how she'd sound with HiFiMan HEK2 v2 w/o stealth magnets? Just dying to pull the trigger on this beautiful piece of kit! Thx from a Brooklyn Audiophile who has incidentally, just become your newest subscriber.

    Wonderful review Marcello 👏 I'm thinking of getting my first ever tube amplifier and i wonder if you have ever tried the Feliks Audio Euforia EVO? They're on the same price range.

    5998 power tubes are the best but hard to find and super expensive the noise floor drops drastically. I love my sophia 274b mesh rectifier, the 596 is equally great but in a different way.

      @@TheSourceAVDesignGroup Thank you! I currently have the d90III Sabre as a Dac, do you think this would go well with this? Unfortunately I would have no way to test this out without buying it.

    I have been looking for a endgame fully balanced tube headphone amplifier but couldn’t find one, i have Luxman SQ-N150 which is not balanced but has a decent headphone amplifier. Do you think WA22 are better than Luxman and best match to HD600 and Stellia? Thanks

    • @TheSourceAVDesignGroup
      @TheSourceAVDesignGroup  Рік тому

      I think it would be fantastic for the HD600, it's great for the Stellia, like I said in the video, but its overkill in power for Stellia and has a bit of a noise floor that is audible when music isn't playing with the stock tubes and very sensitive headphones like the Stellia but I still enjoyed it with my Stellia. Alternatively, the WA8 would be fantastic for both your headphones and is very quiet thesourceav.com/products/woo-audio-wa8-eclipse-black?variant=41307017412764

      Get wa22 and see if you like it. Plenty for your headphones. Then upgrade your headphones to LCD4, Meze Elite or Utopia of your taste. Then you upgrade your DAC, then you have an end game set up. The source AV has everything. Love trying all sorts of headphones there.

      I think that Luxman SQ-N150 is just for speakers, for headphones there p700, p750u and p750u Mark II, there are other models but are already very outdated
