I read reviews on this and I said let me try this out, for $10 I couldn't lose. This surpassed all of expectations for a $10 IEM.

Very nice amp for mid-fiers to entry high-fiers.
The sound quality and specs are very good for the price. Works very well with Jazz and Classical music in particular (not that rock and...
My pair was a supposed demo model from one of Hifiman's retailers. They came in mint condition, which is lucky for me. I'm not using a balanced cable yet, but I already feel it's a good upgrade...
great pics. loved the commentary (they sound good just sitting in the box!). i'm tempted to buy a woo amp just to get one of those fancy wooden boxes. the man knows how to pack stuff. others could learn from him. i too just recently listened to this combo and it sounded very good. another headfier who had extensive K1000 experience said that the WA5/K1000 combo was probably top 5 for that headphone. i believe him. enjoy.
I was told the pop is harmless but you don't want the K1000 on when you do it. I should have warned you. Sorry about that. Also, power down when switching from K1000/speaker to Hi/Lo headphones. I was told that it will be easier on the tubes. It is a special amp, especially with the K1000 but in the end my first priority was speakers and this sale permitted to max out my speaker rig.
beautiful, indeed! if i were in the market for tubes for my k1000 i think the wa5 would be at or near the top of my list...seems very versatile. (i know the smileys aren't working, but what the heck...)
The Woo 5 amp will defintely be my next amp purchase. Hopefully by summer 2008. I love the design. It's like the Harley Davidson of amps. I enjoyed listening to it at the previous meet.
