The Mighty 596 on display...
 

 
 
 
I've got a Music Hall mmf-7 turntable and a few other audio pieces.
 

 

 
 
 
AND then......... there's Godzilla! My 220 wpc Sansui G22000 

 

 

[magiccabbage]

that sansui is serious. i love that vintage look. someone had an old school marantz receiver posted on a thread not too long ago and it was one of the nicest pieces i have seen
 
think it was this

Thanks. At 92 pounds, watch your foot though...

Woo is sure making a nice profit on the 596. Luckily I have one "on loan" from Clayton

Now if only my new amp would arrive

 

[Silent One]

Not really. I sold him his current stock and I didn't get them too cheaply. Still, in 2010 I bought a 'Princess' from WooAudio for $175; in 2011 the EML 5U4G for $260. All things considered... the '596' still has room for inflation. 

 
But, before I let my Woo brothers and sisters down, I best get back to hunting them down!

 

[Ultrainferno]

I've spent a couple of hours last night doing that, but nothing yet
 

 

[DutchGFX]

Dumb question but, Sophia Princess are still in production right?

 

[migasson]

Yep. Ask Jack Wu!

 

[DutchGFX]

I have one, I was just wondering if it's NoS, which it doesn't appear to be

And Woo is selling it back to us at a profit? Should have left them at "home" amongst the little people.

Ultra- it is not "on loan." It is all yours to keep forever and ever. I wonder when the next "596" will be uncovered.

A handful of members backed out. To prevent a collapse, I brought in a new investor to close the deal. So, the original little people really were taken care of. If I find a clean lot of NOS USAF-596's (perhaps, w/boxes) of 20 to 100, I may broker the investment.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I mean, I'm sure Glenn can find another great tube we don't know about yet...

Of course it comes with a warranty which also includes (at no charge!) a periodic site visit to make certain that it is working at its optimum (bias) level in your amp. So I'd say the next site visit is in 3 months?

 

[Ultrainferno]

Deal!
