Just pulled the trigger on this. The nice thing about this being small I can hide it on my desk and hopefully my wife won't notice.
I have been using the WA7 Gen 1 for years. It recently had a drop out of the right channel, Woo fixed it and got it back to me super fast. I use it to drive HD600, 6xx and 800S and it sounds great although I use an external DAC. Now I have to think about the gen3. The balanced output is really something I want. Thanks for the review.
Awesome ! I still miss my 1st and 2nd Gen WA7s. Forgot how pretty these things look and sound in person
Yes...the Woo Firefly WA7 2nd Gen were and are that good.
I love it doesn’t have a remote as it’s gone back to the old school way, just based on form factor I bought it
Love to see the joy and happiness in your face. I had the same face today hooking up my NAD 317 Integrated to the KEF LS 50`s and it was pure bliss.
Pure Bliss is right ! Enjoy !
Dang, production, editing flow, and music are really great on this video …and got me all kinds of peaked thinking about gettin some Woo in ma life. Preamp and low noise floor and bass control? AND looks to match? Yes, please
✌🙏
Look at you with the ' Siers Man Sh-t ' b-roll music. Killer.
Channel just gets better and better. Watched your Holo Audio DAC video and dear lord that thing is pretty 🙃
Thank you and yes... Holo Audio is a piece of art
The sound you described at 6:50 is what I heard, I demoed the firefly with the 800s as the main test headphone. And yea, it tamed the brightness of that headphone and also gave it authoritative bass. This is going to hurt the wallet...
@Jayiyagi, you are the man for sharing this review. Between you and @Joshuavalour 's channel I decided to pull the trigger. My Arya & LCD-X sound incredible!!! Listening to smooth Jazz is at a higher level of satisfaction. Just seeing your expression made me realize this product has strong ROI and my trust in you and Joshua paid off bigtime!!! My favorite tube so far is the RCA Clear Top. So glad I bought additional tube sets for tube rolling as the stock tubes were good, but the Clear Tops are better to my ears.
Jay, if you're HD 600's are your dailies, you need to check out the Bottlehead Crack (with Speedball). If you haven't already it's the magic pairing for the HD 600 series.
The Classic ! I've built/had those long ago. Certainly a great choice for headphones like HD600.
Curious how this would pair with the original S400s, would it end up too smooth?
Too bad about the missing remote. Wish they make a standalone preamp + remote out of this, that would be a killer!
Jay, I see some Xduoo. Did you ever review the Ta-28?
Jay actually have quite a lot of headphone equipment, I wondr how the xduoo TA26 compare to the WA7
My Kanto Tuks lost all sibilance as soon as I added pure silver wires from Tempo Electric.
LOVE THE korean hello Tujan
he butchered it !
🤣
Are those REL subwoofers? What model? The room looks nice 😬
T9i special edition ! Thanks

좋은영상 고마워요
Moore headphones please!🎧
Woo audio says this is for pre amp loudspeakers
Nice car Tujan! Very nice Video!
Which tubes were you guys using? The ones that come stock with the unit, or the upgraded NOS RCA tubes?
Have you tried the WA8? Really can’t decide between the two… Thanks
happen to have any inputs regarding the 800s + wa7 fireflies gen 2?
Newbie question but can you directly from the wa7 to powered speakers? (My understanding is that cause it’s a pre-amp, powered speakers work with it) Or do you need an amp?
Hey Jay, have you found any speaker stands that you can use to move a heavy floor standers around easily?
my current setup is digital audio player > questyle dac/ headphone amp > marantz integrated amp > speaker. can i still use this WA7? if so, what's the sequence? thank you
Does the Burson Playmate with upgraded op-amps sound better than this?
Next level B roll! Looking very clean.
I bet it sound wonderful
Is this truly balanced?
I believe it is not but you can message woo audio at info@wooaudio.com
Nice video ratio =) ... I had to check a few times to be sure this was right. =)
Great job Jay! At this point do you prefer WA7 over the LTA MZ3? If so, by what characteristics?
Do you own the MZ3?
Curious as well
Hey ! In my humble opinon, they sound very different in more areas than I can count with most of it being superior on the LTA since LTA MZ3 uses different tubes and design philosophy altogether with different "features and functionalities" PLUS it costs about 3 times the price of the Woo Audio here. With this being said; Woo Audio's house sound is very attractive and I have seen many happy with it.
@@Jayiyagi Thank You Jay for sharing your experiences. I'm at a crossroads for purchasing a new preamp and currently looking at LTA then you caught my attention with the WA7 and now I'm curious.... Keep up the great work! Cheers ;-)
@@bigbongo69 The first headphone amps that I fell in love with were Woo Audio--and I still think they are great. The WA7 complete with DAC is hard to top from a value proposition. But living relatively close to LTA I've gotten to try a lot of their gear in my house--all three amplifiers, the MicroZotl preamp, the Z10 and I actually own the Z40 integrated. Both the MZ3 (and IMO the MZ2) are just next level products. Not the typical euphonic tube sound, but the mids are every bit as magic. To me, a significant step up--but individual tastes always vary.
Damn you keep teasing that Burson Funk Jay's edition. Any news on its release?
Hopefully soon! Gotta get it JUST RIGHT ;)
@@Jayiyagi Wait wait didn't know such thing in the works! How does it differ from the original? Love the O.G. Funk!
You have a new toy syndrom. It cannot sound better than Holo Audio, compare it again after a month or two. peace :)
But it must definitelly be very good, I would like to buy it for my Quad Era-1, they need tubes :D
Mmmm…. Well again. “In this current set up” we preferred it. Wouldn’t say definitively “better”
Odd choice to enclose the tubes in acrylic. Isn't heat management a thing with tubes?
it is glass
@@Jayiyagi Oh wow. Nice touch, quite unexpected. Still - wouldn't that impede cooling of the tubes?
@@raspucin70 I’m not sure you know how heat dispersion works
@@raspucin70 Heat dissipates through the glass quite easily and there are two holes open on the top. As far as the concern for over-heating; I've never really heard of that happening on the WA7s. The main concern with "glass" really is if it rings or contributes to any mechanical energy transferred aka vibrations (when you hit your desk by accident or smash your keyboard while playing games); Normally this would be a concern and you would hear it BUT in this case because the glass is quite heavy and sits on the unit to guard the tubes, it acts as more of a mechanical energy dampener and does not ring PLUS it protects the tubes and look pretty awesome :)
@@Jayiyagi Thank you very much for such in-depth answer! It does make sense to have such a massive "damper" to protect the tubes (both physically and sonic-ly (is that even a word?). And yes, it is amazing looking
Awesome vid as usual. I'm thinking of getting a tube pre amp, I really hope they do make one. Are there any Chi-fi tube pre amps you'd recommend that don't break the bank?
Couldn’t find one that was worthwhile yet
Schiit Freya is at the top of my list at the moment. If anyone has any other recommendations around this price, I'd love to hear. Cheers.
I own and enjoy a Musical Paradise MP-701 Tube Preamp. Well priced and easy to upgrade capacitors & tubes. I feed into 2 class D monoblocks. Nice balance of tubey goodness / class D power.
@@rubenharris5131 depending on your system
try Quicksilver Audio pre
@@rubenharris5131 you ask about chifi but then you say the Freya you mean freya+ is top of your list which is a USA based company.
Are you ever going to do a review on the McIntosh MHA200?
That's a nice piece of kit I would definitely consider trying out
What do the TexASS punks have to say about this review!?? 😂😂😂😂😂
I have a WOO CD Transport! So COOL! WOO ROCKS!
What are the stands the KEF LS50 are on? I couldn't see them in the desc etc

here ya go
uh.. Thujan, were you afraid you'd forget your name so you put it on your license plate? lol
I swear... at this rate he is going to show up with a tattoo
Sorry...I gotta go back to the intro ;)
What are those red subs? T9i special edition?
yup :)
@@Jayiyagi I have one t9i. Is the second one really worth it?
$399 for the cable?! Wow. Lol! Hilarious.
I agree that is a premium to pay for a cable. there are 3rd part options that are less expensive. Pretty common termination
@@Jayiyagi 👍
Seems pretty standard to me.
