I need to stay away… that amp (and DAC in the background) will bankrupt if I start researching it.

I’m finding DT1990s a bit dry, threw some Dekoni velours on them and now they just lack any & all detail above lower mids… we’ll see if these are some more refined bass canons.

that stack looks very good. what are they? I don’t recognize them and don’t see any model deets when I zoom in on them.

It’s a Woo WA33 Amp, standard version.
It’s a single unit, not a stack.
The DAC is hidden behind it in the rack.

ahhh…new or used? on sale? the $8K asking price is pretty steep. :flushed:

It’s used, there aren’t many things in that price bracket I’d buy new.
I wanted a tube amp that could drive the Susvara’s well, the DNA sounds good but strained.

So I’ve been spending some money here and there, Covid and not going out is padding my wallet a bit too much. :rofl:

Just got some Beyer DT770 250ohm. I like them… but my T50RPs do everything better. :confused: Gonna be a return.

Ordered both Fiio FH3 and Ikko OH10s. First time I’ve bought IEMs over $50… kinda scared. I’ll get the FH3s first, then the OH10s after that.

Just got this and so far I’m really enjoying it. @WaveTheory ‘s review in the Cayin thread really pushed me over.

Recently got the FH3 this week, they’ve been a fun pair to listen to. Never had IEMs more than 50usd, I’m really glad I took the plunge with that one.

Was inches from buying one for my Beyer T1.2s, but just picked up a Violectric V220 instead.

What are you running on them and what DAC are you feeding it with?

I was watching that Violectric as well before picking this up!
Running my T1.2s and 880-600, initially had the topping e30 on it and then moved to a Bifrost 1 mb.

Yea, very excited. Have only had the RS-08 from lake people before. Being told that the vio and lake people stuff are very different.

Also, @M923 idk if you talked with M0N about it at all, but both the HA-1A and v220 apparently do similarish things to the sound for the T1.2s (takes the upper edge off the treble and fills out the sound a bit more). No idea what the effect on staging will be, but should improve over my Hugo 2. I’ll be using the Hugo for the DAC btw.

The HA-1A should be a big improvement over the E30 :slight_smile:

Welcome to the V220 club! :+1:

Yes! It really let me listen to some songs that I’d normally gloss over due to the treble.
I’m sure it’ll be great with the Hugo 2. Listen in good health!
