Woo Audio - Best headphone amps ever?


Hi Everyone,

Hopefully starting a good debate. I've had a chance to listen to a dozen or so headphone amps at shows. Nothing has ever come close to the Woo Audio. Pono actually was close, the Ayre designed output stage is among my favorits, but still, Woo is what I would have at my office if I had an office! :)

What do you all think? Are there better headphone amps?

Best,

E

Erik, I like the USN CEP 6922 tubes the best with headphone amps. They pop-up on Ebay occasionally. If you want something a bit more interesting, and less expensive, get some adapters and use 6F8G tubes in the Cavalli. They are quite a treat, though they can be noisy. Very sweet sounding tubes.
Sad to see Cavalli go, they made excellent headphone amps. I am trying an Apex Teton amp out now and it is phenomenal with the Focal Utopia 'phones. It may even beat the Stellaris.

for my Senn HD600 phones some recommended the Woo WA6se or WA7tp or Woo WA22. Not sure if these will drive speakers as well.
