i havn't even seen his. so no. i wonder if he sells them? the woo is a fully balanced design, as are my dac and preamp and my nicer headphones are balanced too. I've got three other tubed headphone amp too. i love me some tubes
here's a pic of my favorite cans, they are planar magnetic headphones. similar to electrostatic's. the diaphragm of a planar magnetic speaker is a thin sheet of flexible transparent film with very thin, flat electrical conductors in it. magnets on both sides of the diaphram create a full magnetic flux. the magnetic field created by the signal current interacts with the magnetic flux causing the conductors, and therefore the diaphragm, to move.
really great sounding cans, better than any dynamic can's i've ever heard. they're from audeze, the lcd-2 model with bamboo sides. very transparent to the source so its easy to tell how an amp "sounds"
