Hey all. Looking for your thoughts on a new higher-end tube amp. Here is what I have narrowed it down to so far:
DNA Stellaris
Woo Audio WA23
Woo Audio WA33 Elite
Eddie Current Studio B
Decware // Reference ZMF OTL
Auris Audio Nirvana IV
Feliks Audio Envy
All cost a lot, hence looking for feedback.
Elite I have heard is very good, but good how? Some prefer WA23, some say WA33 is king. Also, is the Elite version worth it, or just do JPS wiring upgrade and call it a day?
DNA I already have a Stratus and love it, but that could also be due to what it's being fed by (ND555-Dave-BluMKll).
Lots of people rave about Eddie Current, but I have never heard one in person.
WA23 also has a lot of fans. Plus looks kinda epic.
Decware Reference ZMF OTL. Not heard much about this so far, but it's the cheapest of the bunch and will likely pair well with ZMF gear.
I will likely use PSVANE and RCA tubes as I like their sound signature together.
I use ZMF headphones most of the time but also have many others (see sig).
I have a lot of excellent solid-state amps already. Just looking for a more romantic, emotional, but still very clear sound.
Dac-wise, I will use the Dave, 552, or the NDX2. Also looking into a Mola Mola Tambaqui in the future.
Please help!
