teejar Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Price: $7900 Item Condition: Used Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Pickup available and you can audition.,Shipping is included in price. Suburb or Town: Sydney State: New South Wales Payment Method: Paypal, EFT, or Cash on pickup Reason for selling: Downgrading my setup Further information: Hi all, I’m selling my STAX SR009 + Woo WES (2nd Gen) amp combo as I no longer have the time to listen and am therefore looking to downgrade. What can I say, this setup has been a dream to listen to and I’m very reluctant to let it go. It’s been extremely well treated over the years and the headphones have been kept either in their wooden box or under their dust cover when not in use. There are a few very minor cosmetic scratches on the amplifier. No marks on the headphones whatsoever, they’re in pristine condition. The pads look the same as they did when new. The Woo WES was recently upgraded to the 2nd Gen for even better sound quality in September 2019 by shipping it to Woo Audio in the US: https://wooaudio.com/amplifiers/wes The tubes were also replaced at this time with a full set of brand new stock tubes provided by Woo and they have barely even been broken in. It comes with the headphones and amp (of course), Stax wooden stand, Stax 2.5m extension cable and spare tubes. The plastic tube guard on the WES amp is also included but I've never used it as I prefer the look of it off. Local pickup is an option, but I’m willing to post to anywhere in Australia as I still have the original packaging for the Woo amp to ensure it will be safe in transit. It’s quite heavy and would require a few boxes though so postage wouldn’t be cheap. Auditioning might not be the best idea given the COVID-19 circumstances. Feel free to message if you have any questions. Thanks, Tim Photos: Edited April 27, 2020 by teejar added photo of 2nd gen certificate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabehcuod Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Great energisers, especially when you have the ballast mod done so it doesn't fry the driver coating over time. Edited April 28, 2020 by Gabehcuod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't believe that mod is required at all. Woo has been making the WES for almost 10 years now and I haven't read a single case of it actually causing damage to the drivers. If there was a known issue, and something as simple as changing the ballast resistors, it surely would have been fixed in the 2nd Gen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F18 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 These should have a 5M ballast resistor on the output. The issue was with the early serial silver only units and the Woo Wee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
