Woo Audio ES8 Electrostatic Headphone Amp

It had been over a decade since I last used headphones (AKG K1000 and Grado RS1), but I have been seeing a lot of excitement in the audiophile press over the new breed of electrostatic headphones.  To see what all the hype was about, I purchased this amp and a pair of Dan Clark Voce headphones in late January.  I was so impressed by this pairing that within a month I bought the Blue Hawaii amp and Stax SR-X9000 headphones.  I’m still waiting for the Stax headphones, but the Blue Hawaii has been put into use (see photo) and I can’t justify keeping both amps. 

The ES8 is Woo Audio’s latest electrostatic headphone amplifier and it is quite impressive.  The difference between the ES8 and the Blue Hawaii truly represents the law of diminishing returns with the ES8 being just a little less detailed and a bit less extended in the bass compared to the Blue Hawaii.  The ES8 is in like new condition with about 70 hours of use since its delivery February 7^th of this year.  During the first year of ownership, the 3-year warranty is transferable by the original purchaser with submission of a transfer form- see the Warranty page on the Woo Audio website.  If purchased at my asking price, I will include a new, unused set of tubes that I purchased with the amp.

Paypal is the preferred method of payment and I will cover the fees.  Unfortunately, due to my past experiences with forged bank checks from A’gon buyers, payment by check or money order will delay shipment until check clears the bank clearinghouse (10 working days)- sorry.  Please contact me with any questions.
