I use the iFi ground hog grounding kit

For those that are experiencing the same thing, I manage to resolve it. Seems that it was a ground loop hum. Once the unit was grounded, it went away

Did you by any chance resolve this issue? I’m using the same combo and I’m experiencing exactly the same thing when I touch the volume knob. Amp is totally quiet otherwise

Yes. Both the wifi and DSD remastering is on. Sony webby mentioned the following with regards to DSD playback “Balanced standard-jack: Approx. 35 hrs, DSD (2.8224MHz / 1bit) / Stereo mini-jack: Approx. 25 hrs, DSD (2.8224MHz / 1bit) / Balanced standard-jack: Approx. 15 hrs, DSD (5.6448MHz /...

Guys, I need some inputs regarding the battery life of the 1am2. I’m currently burning in my unit by running the wm player on repeat loop. I notice that on a full charge 88% (battery care charge mode), after abt 7 hrs, the battery drops to 6%. Is that normal? According to Sony this is suppose...

Thanks for yr quick reply.. I’ll try the wired solution to see if I can get the page back.. if not.. I’ll just reset and start my setup all over.

Hey guys.. I just gotten my stream.. wireless setup went well.. however after successfully setting up the wifi connection using the “ifi.local” page, I’m not able to get my browser to display that page after I use the shutdown menu option. streaming from Spotify is fine. Anybody got any clue...

One more thing to add... The unit at my dealer also exhibited the same weird humming.. when the unit was off.. So no other WA5-LE owners in the states experience this issue? Possibility of a bad production batch?

Hmmm... What do you mean by "Inverted" ? Swappinp between the "Live" and neutral wires? All my previous Woo ampliers, WA2, WA6-SE and WA-7 all is working fine without this hum. Not to mention my current DAC/AMP.. Sony TA-ZH1 ES.. Previously I was also using a mini KGSSHV, with Stax SR009...

Well... Im still working with both Woo and the local distributor for solving the POP Issue and this Humming issue.. This is probably the most expensive Tube amp that I ever bought... and also turning into the most disappointing and frustrating experience... :triportsad:

I removed all the interconnects, and tested. The amp was also brought to a different location in the house with a change the power cord. But sadly, it still hums with when its OFF.

Still trouble shooting..... Any WA5-LE owners experiencing this phenomena. Hum and buzzing heard thru the headphones after the amp's power switch is turned Off. This Hum/buzzing can still be heard despite switching the mains socket Off. The Hum/Buzzing only goes away when the AC cord is...

I visited my local dealer and tested out their demo wa5-le. And was pleased to know that, with the headphones plugged in, there's no loud pop when the amp was powered on. Thats a relieve. I have also written to Woo Audio, Mike regarding the issues Im facing. Hopefully, they will take care of me...

Thanks Pippen. Hmm.. Thru out my years of head-fing, I have never come across the need to ever remove my headphones when Im turning off or On the amplifier. Main thing is my concern with the wearing of the headphone jack from the constant plugging and unplugging. If I have to do this with the...

Yes. When the headphones are plugged in the volume is ALWAYS turned to the lowest. I have not tried adjusting the trim pots. Did not even know that they are there. There was no manual in the box. This is getting to be frustrating. This is something I did not expect from getting a top tier Woo...

Hiya, I would like to request some help from fellow WA5-LE owners I just took delivery of a new WA5-LE last evening. Although the amp is sounding to be the best, if not the best I've heard, the following are making it to be total disappointment. I’m not new to woo tubeamps.. I have previously...

Hi, I just delivery of my new WA5-LE last evening. Although the amp is sounding to be the best, if not the best I heard, there are somethings that I found to be making it a total disappointment 1) Loud POP thru the headphones when turning on the amplifier. This happens when I switched on the...

Hi.. Whilst awaiting the arrival of my new cable, I'd like to get some inputs on how difficult it is to remove the original HD800 cables. Are the plugs very tight? Is it a simple straight pull? I'm a bit nervous .. :) Any tricks or tips? Thanks

    Finally!! My humble setup... :)

Thanks!!! Great link

Ya.. All these people, wonder what they were thinking ..:rolleyes: Hey!! Are you talking about me?!! ... Lol :o Btw, thanks Dubstep Girl for the great links... Cheers

Wow.. these are confusing.. when buying replacement tubes.. is there a guide to which of these go into which socket..   On my WA2 there are numbers(tube model numbers?) stamped on the chassis near the tube sockets.. but it seems like they don't match to any of those numbers mentioned...

Quote: Sorry Im a tube newbie..having just bought the WA2 myself... The 6FD7 are the power tubes? What kind of tubes are the Sophia's... ?   I'll be considering tube rolling soon... given how good I think the stock setup is.. I wonder if the difference will be huge if the stock tubes...

Nice!!!.. How do you find it with the HD800..? I might be considering that as my next phone for my WA2
