Woo Audio Wa6 Vs Bottlehead Crack: A Side-by-Side Comparison of Two Impressive Tube Amps with Differ

Hi Mike and L,A bottlehead fan here, can u tell me what tube you prefer with the crack?I use speedball plus tungsram e80cc or valvo e80cc with tung sol 5998, iknow that doc prefers the mullards but i have no experience with it.

I have found this tube in particular to be excellent. It was recommended over on the bottlehead forums awhile back. With the RCA 6AS7G, I would take it over the Clear Top for sure (I have a clear top, as well).

Lieven, I see you recommend this amp to the HD 600/650s very greatly. When you talk about the crack, do you mean with or without the speedball upgrade? Since the writing of this review have you had the chance to try out the upgrade out?

I've read that Modi 2 is actually no better than onboard DACs so it's pretty useless upgrade from my Audioengine D3. I don't know at which point the diminishing returns of price happen with DACs but I decided to go with the Modi Multibit (Mimby) just in case because I hear so many rave about it on forums. I got it for $399AUD from addictedtoaudio.com.au (free shipping). I also had a look at Bitfrost multibit but that costs $871.80 directly from Schhit which is the cheapest I can get it for which still to me is an insane price for a DAC.

The deal runs every now and then on MD, but very rarely hits the lowest price due to lack of buyers, this time around we're only short on 1 buyer. 99% of MD are only interested in entry gear. Fair enough, it's an entry audiophile community. I'm particularly interested in the $599 price, as the combined price (inc shipping) is about $960 AUD and falls just below the GST threshold.

If anyone knows of any, please let me know. Cheers.Rather than reading reviews, I think it would be best to actually audition some of them by going to shops, and bring along your HD600/650 and audio source. Once you're familiar with some of them then the comparison reviews will probably be a bit more clearer and allow you to make better choice.

I'm not sure what you are calling pseudo-science, but if you think audio is "pure science", you would be mistaken. It has parts of electronics, physics, engineering and psychology.At the end of the day, technical superiority does not always equate to everyone thinking a product is "better".

"pure science" is something you can use a scientific methodology and get a replicable result. Audio is not, first, because you have a person involved.Yes, electronics in its own is science. Physics of course is. Engineering is... well, engineering, and psychology is mainly science. Well, it's not entirely, but the approach is, anyway. However, if you take a bit of all and package it in a way that is audio, it is no longer pure science.You can try and isolate a single element of it for study, but you won't ever get to, because at the end of the day, if you take only one element of it, you won't get an idea, and if you get the whole... the receptor is a human, and a human has too much variability in it to give you an accurate data. That's what makes Psycho-acoustics interesting, and that is why I'm intending to go back to finish my post grad in it as soon as my life settles down a bit more.

Not to sound like I'm trying to compare my epeen, but my wife lets me have a wild budget for audio gear so I can generally cope well with that slope :) Also when I get the right tubes going, I have little desire to keep tweaking, but curiosity does get the better of me sometimes.

It doesn't change the objective properties of the sound until the audio waves hits the person's ear lobe and canel. After that, the person with that particular shaped ear would hear it differently to another person. And subjective preferences does come into play, name 1 single headphone that is unanimously rated as the best headphone by everyone, it doesn't exist? I thought so.

Yeah, 2075 is absolutely picking up what I am saying. It comes down to personal preference a lot. Some people's "harsh treble" is sometimes just right for another person. "Bass heavy" headphone might be "overwhelming bass" for one, but "just right" for another. Not just from person to person, but you know how you can be in a mood for some type of music some days? The same happens without you recognising it to sound quality preferences. Your mood sways your preferences to certain sound qualities day to day...The other way to normalise results is by sampling a huge number of population... but we all know how that ends up... it cancels out personal preferences, and end up with a very watered down data that doesn't indicate anything. It works for medicine, but not really for audio and how a sound quality is perceived.

Since the audio output is a digital stream, you can take that output and directly use it as an input, losslessly. This is a guide for Audacity on Windows, but you can do something similar on other software: _recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html

I have great difficulty in hearing jitter without comparing jitter and jitter-free audio side-by-side. My ears just haven't matured to that point yet and I'm not sure if it will given my age. I sometimes see it as a blessing because it means I don't need to worry too much about say, getting a cheaper variant of a DAC that doesn't have I2S input.

It just works: there's nothing but loads of clean, great sound and great ergonomics.. IMO comparing crack and wa7 is actually tougher than it seems because you aren't quite comparing apples to s.

Dac and audio circuitry is much the same as the V30, minus support for MQA. LG V30 is pretty much the only decent one with low output impedance and a reasonable power output into high impedance loads. Yeah what you want is the V It can do exactly what you want and is a great phone as well, coincidentally. See Also : Are high impedance headphones better Show details. I have recently teamed up with a mate that has had his head phones modded to OHMS.
