Pretty fancy packaging for a tube!
He bought the BOX! That glass thingy inside was just a display sample. [The Japanese invented Apple’s out-of-box-experience centuries before Apple existed.]
For the price it better have a fancy box.
w00t!!!
Congrats! U will love them!
@BondDaBoom I wouldn’t put nothing less on a WA33… Amazing choice. Congrats!
Just embarked on the honeymoon cruise!
How does the WA33 sound with your latest tube upgrades (2A3s and the 274B)?
It sounds very different very liquid and holographic. The Stage and bass is better. midrange and high frequincies are smoother.
Thanks! How’s the noise floor? Any matching issues with the transformers, specially for the rectifier tube? Any audible hum? I read that some people experienced issues with some Woo Audio amps with upgraded tubes.
Hope you enjoy. They’re a great set of cans. Especially at the prices you can find them on sale or used.
Not remotely audio-related …
Nice!
A new edition for the Watch thread.
No issues so far. I’ve only tested it with 1266 and HEDDphone which are low sensitivity.
That’s awesome!
For what it’s worth, no matter where my headphone journey may take me, I’ll always have a pair of Porta Pros.
Welcome to the #YaxiGang.
Got sick of the Susvaras already?
Hahaha lol. Never!
But I am itchy Hahahaha
love love LOVE my Porta Pro’s. I have 3 pairs, believe it or not: my 1st pair that I totally wore out & didn’t bother sending back for xchange; a black pair from Massdrop w/std pads (for daily 5 mile walks in summer/warm weather) & another black pair (purchased direct) w/Yaxi pads for cold weather (those big pads cover ears nicely…also make nice changes in the already very fine sound). I wouldn’t think of using any other headphone for mobile use.
Man that’s super awesome. I will be testing mine today.
