Xduoo Amplifiers

This is going to sound crazy but can anyone compare xduoo with the Woo WA7? I want something tubey to sit next to my Burson Conductor, if I don't have to spend the Woo money I won't.

Really interested in the new TA-66
I'd suggest the ta20+ over the ta-66, it's still cheaper than the wa7 and has a nice warm sound that's tubey enough. Especially since you have a Conductor, the ta-66 will lose too many details for it to sit next to your burson. The ta20+ will give you that tube flavor while also not being so vastly inferior to your conductor that you won't turn it on. If you have the extra cash, I would also recommend the feliks echo mk ii.

No problems with ECC81, just less gain. Have tried 82 and 83. 81 is the most musical(for me).
Using the ECC81 now for over 2 months.

Should be more scrared using a GZ34. Dont think the amp is made for these.
Many thanks for the idea with the ECC81! I did have 5 pairs of them at home, JJ, Jan, PSVane, Siemens and Telefunken 801. I didn't try the first two enjoyed the third and thought the Siemens are end of the game. But today I did put in the 801 and there was still a upgrade in detail, depth, dynamic. The TA20 plus is good enough to show you the differences between all the tubes - provided a good headphone like the Composer!
Next week I will get a modified 5az4 which should be even more detailed, neutral and threedimensional than the 5z4 I am using now.
I will report.
