Alright Trafo sticks around pending re-review when the 'upgraded' tubes come in.  Tomorrow, time permitting, I'll run the WA22 against the GS-1.  My wife and mwilson are rooting for the GS-1
 
Big thanks to hodgjy for all the Trafo help.

Yes, your wife is right. Toss that WA22 already.
 
Wives complaining about things around the house reminds me of a billboard ad here in South Florida; goes like this (fonts are to relative proportion)
 
Your wife is hot
Better get the A/C fixed
Call Air Around the Clock

Which reminds me, my wife didn't care for the WA22 either. With zero space left in my main rig, this could only go in the bedroom, on the credenza close to her side of the bed. Can I put lipstick on that WA22 and pass it as something else? Perhaps if I removed the tubes and put some a bunch of LEDs on the front. Oh wait, I've had that amp before. Never mind

Bazinga!  With the tubes MH gave me, the WA22 is quite nice looking, nevermind sounding.  But ANY tube is going to set my wife into 'that's a sci-fi prop' mode.  Doesn't help that the WA22 tubes are huge, no way to hide them.

Quite nice looking? I thought it was downright sexy.

(and they sounded great too...my ideal tubes for the LCD-x).

Oh, I love the WA22 look, don't get me wrong. It's she who doesn't.

Funny my wife is the exact same.

For better or worse, the WA22 kinda looks like the flying saucer from that stupid Hangar 18 movie, sans les blinkenlights.

FWIW, I totally see it! But I like it.

 

[mwilson]

You like what? The movie or the amp? Both?

 

[MacedonianHero]

Your analogy and the amp.

Wow, I guess I'm lucky. She don't like it per se but she don't mind it either.

Waiting for B22 review.  That is at the top of my list.  Considering a Buffalo III to feed it.  And using an a10 as a pre/selector.

Looking forward to Trafomatic Head One rereview mostly

Who out there builds Buffalo III DAC's?  If you don't mind me asking.  Would like to have one myself.
