With an amp like the Woo Audio WA-234 MONO, one wonders what the use of the thing. In audiophile circles, WA stands for Wife Acceptance (WA).
We posed the following system to the family of Chris Ball (CB), our Northerly reviewer.
Moog Sub 37 Tribute Edition ($1,579.00 USD)
Woo Audio WA234 Monoblock Headphone ($15,900.00 USD)
And what for headphones? Jecklin Float? No, too old.
Stax SR-Sigma Electrostatic? No, not compatible.
HiFiMan HE 1000 Headphones ($2,999.00 USD).
To which, his wife replied:
"nope - chris doesnt need cool music stuff anymore - what with the deafness from running the chainsaw & skidsteer." (BB)
Still, should one wish to have a bit of fun this Christmas, there is nothing better than this, or for speaker listening:
Theta Digital Prometeus Amplifier ($6,000.00 USD)
SoundLab U1-PX Ultimate PX Electrostatic Loudspeakers ($32,700.00 USD)
