Woo makes undeniably incredible headphone amps. I would like to do a side-by-side comparison between the Woos and the Angstrom Stella headphone amp. If anyone has done this, I would be curious to hear your POV.
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

Cavalli Audio now out of business! https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cavalli-audio.862917/ |
I had the Woo headphone amp, the least expensive one. Very simple, elegant and well made, gorgeous chassis. Certainly replacing the original tubes is necessary to get the best sound. I also wrapped both transformers with mu metal and used two count em Herbies tube dampers per tube, one for the glass near the getter, the other on the base.
