Let me see if I can get this back on topic are the tubes Sophia Electric?

Also, why doesn't unit come with a power cord?

l went to their website and those tubes look nice.

Most people upgrade the power cord at this level of amplifier. I am currently using the PS Audio AC12 with my WA22, which will soon go over to my WA33. Not even close as far as sound quality--much more impact and slam out of the big cable compared to stock.

BTW, the WA33 pricing just increased from the previous preorder pricing. Thank goodness I got in just before the price jump!

In that case since I am still modifying room should I run 12/3 or 10 gauge wire? At 150 watts and 120v AC that is 2.5 amps. 14/2 gauge is rated for 15 amps. Only other devices running on this dedicated circuit will be NAS and DAC(s).

I think for power, usually the bigger the better. I find it matters more with amplifiers than anything else.

Do you know the gauge of the PS Audio cord?

Edit: I searched for it, 8 gauge

Any time line on when a unit will be available for audition at a dealer?

 

[dawktah2]

I contacted a dealer in San Francisco where I'll be this weekend and they said the WA33 is burning in for 100 hours, so it wouldn't be available for audition. What exactly is happening during this burn in process? Why is it 100 hours vs 50 vs 150? I'm just skeptical on things without moving parts.

What happens during the burn in process? Your window to return the product passes by.....

Just received my WA33, just set it up, but haven't listened yet
Ok just did a quick listen. I don't know which piece of equipment gets the credit, maybe they all contributed to the sound. I am using a Dave dac, Woo Audio 33 tube amp and, Abyss headphones to do my listening. First thing I would say is thank you to Woo Audio for including a Woo Audio pen with the tube amp The things that I noticed right away were the inner detail, the clarity over all, especially the mids, the voices were crystal clear, the bass was excellent, of course as were the highs, it was all good. Now this being my first tube amp I have a question? Will the sound change as these tubes break in? The amp sound great right now.

Anyone planning on listening to vinyl? Which turntable are you planning on and will it have line level or will you be getting a phono amp?

Very nice! way to jump into the deep end for your first tube amp
Sound should change when the tubes are broken in.
