I have a Woo WA 5 - LE headphone amp. I am enjoying it very much. I love the sound of tube amps but always shied away for my main system because of the heat, reliability, and cost. However, since I realized setting up a high end headphone station in a different location at home would allow me to enjoy music when not optimal to use my main system. I have an incredibly quiet listening area (underground on three sides, large, asymmetrical), but during the summer and winter the heat pump comes on. It is very quiet... but still, I am used to dead silence. So, the headphone station in the library / fireplace area is perfect. With advances in headphones... it is really a satisfying system.
