Last week I have received my Woo Audio Wa 6 Se with standard tube 

 

Comparison between pre amp T + A and WA 6 SE :

 

Yes the price difference between wa 6 se and T+A is huge but so the sound quality difference, like a night and day. But the wa6se is still acceptable for my taste, 2nd best for my budget. I have heard the other preamp which is my dream machine, Viola Labs Solo mono preamplifier. But unfortunately its price is too much for my budget

 

Compare to Graham Slee and Schiit, the wa6se sounds more transparent and more powerful. In general the sounds of wa 6 se is similar to Graham Slee but Graham has less impact/power and little bit dry. The Schiit is very noise and harsh. Both cannot be compared to T+A. The one who can beat T+A is Viola Solo Mono preamp which cost 4 times more expensive than T+A
