I'm terribly sad!!!!

 

When the amp arrived, it showed sometimes a hum in the right channel, but not often.

 

Now the right channel makes only a hum and i can't hear any sound!

 

I was just listening to music, nothing strange, it did a strong noise and stopped working!!!

It ain't over yet! I hope takezo is able to help your Woo recover...

please take out both the driver/power tubes but leave the rectifier in.

plug your headphone in, turn volume knob to zero and then turn on the amp. don't worry

nothing bad will happen as long as it is not on for long duration. after the initial current

in-rush sound for 10 seconds there should be silence. if you hear the hum after 10 seconds

please raise the volume knob to see if the hum sound increases in volume. turn off amp

before 30 seconds has elapsed.

let us know what you find.

 

Takezo, is this free from risk? I'm worried to use the amp without the power tubes, because hight voltage electric energy is there.

yes, it's fine as long as you don't stick anything into the empty sockets while the amp is on.

30 sec. will do no harm to your transformers or circuit parts. just make sure it is turned on

for more than 10 secs and if you hear something increase the volume knob to see if the

noise increases. then turn the amp off. quick as that. (of course, you would be wearing the

headphone to listen for the noise. sorry, if i didnt mention this before)

takezo, should Interconnects be left in or taken out?

left in. everything should be as normal operation goes, minus the drive/power tubes.

this is done to see if the humming is coming from the amplification circuit. on a normally

operating woo amp, it should be dead silent after about 10 sec. from power up.

Thanks. Somewhat off topic, the latest newsletter from HDTracks is out. A must see!

It's going to be Janos Starker shortly. But, will need to fire up the Mac after dinner to check last month's purchases. Answer: The Album by Stevie Wonder - "Innervisions."

Latest purchase from HDtracks: Stevie Wonder - "Innervisions." Brilliantly conceived, written and recorded. And a very good transfer from the Master Tapes, which Stevie personally keeps himself as opposed to the studio.

I made the decision to buy my WA5-LE when I listen to one with my own T1 and was blown away. The best they have ever sound.

Walking the dog this evening I thought I might throw my CSP2+ into the mix as a preamp from my phono stage to the WA22....

Wow! I should have done this a long time ago.

Currently listening to Jimmy Smith's Home Cookin and ohh my how warm and full the sound is.

 You've got taste, Dubstep Girl! Wait until you hear Stevie's album that preceded it... "Music of My Mind." It is a powerhouse on wax!!!!

You mean, walk the dog? I love to hear Jimmy Smith cookin' on the Hammond B3! May favorite album? The Sermon.  I've got to get the individual track from the film score "The Cat" (1964). It is definitely high octane!
