Do I own too many headphones? That is the question.

Well since I have cured my sub addiction over a year ago, I have caught another one...headphones. From basic to high-end. Here a few pics of roughly 3/4 of the headphones I own.

Not shown is the Beyer Dynamic Tesla (on order) and the Stax units(also on order).

As you can see Sennheiser HD800,Grado PS-1000,Denon D7000, Audio-Technica W5000 and Ultrasone Special 8 among others...

Dr. JT,

Yes your report is spot on, I do have a compulsive purchase disorder ! [:$]

I will do a full report when I get my two Woo Audio headphone amps and my Yamamoto headphone amp. Right now I am starved with a mere Headroom Max and lowish Shanling.For headphones nothing matches the beauty ofquality tube or hybrid amplification.

Is the Woo Audio amp all that it is craked up to be?

I just bought a pair of Senn HD600's and a NuForce uDAC for use with my laptop. Sounds great but you know how it goes.

Which Woo Audio amps did you buy and what do you recommend?

Woo Audio amps are all that and more, I will get the WA6SE fully decked out with all options and quality tubes can buy...no longer $1050...we are talking $2300 plus shipping. And the Woo Audio 5 SET amp..$6000 once all options are in. Both are dual chassis amps.

To me this level of refinement and exquisitebuild justifies the price.

I have Tenor Audio monoblocks I almost never used, these OTL's cannot be converted for headphone use with ease,so the Woo Audio will do.

Russ,

Selling headphones! No way, this does not change the fact I gave to two local charity groups and even donnated to the SPCA. I am not a "good" Christian and will never be,but this does not mean I am a cold blood savage capitalist(who says God bless you way too often) either. [:D]

EAR,

Check out Head-Fi, there is a guy in germany selling a completely decked out Woo amp that he paid $6,000 for last summer. I think he is asking $4200.

Perhaps my post was a bit too condescending, I apologise for that. I fully support capitalism and all the wealth it creates. I think your post sounded like you were looking for ideas and I just threw that one out there. Sorry about that.

Thanx, Russ

Russ,

Capitalism is great,savage capitalism is not much better than..the red regime. Both stink from miles away. The ideal system is a form of capitalism with some socialism injected,these work best(proof is in front of you around the world).

Too much to the left or right and you have extremism that fails BIG time.
