Agreed. I’ve tried to get clarification but wasn’t successful. My 6se is also a gen 1 and out of warranty but unless Woo clarifies their policy, I’ll be buying my amps elsewhere.

I was directly told by Woo that tubes on their approved list that were not bought directly from Woo may violate the warranty. Have tried to get clarification several times, but no response. Woo employees post here regularly. They can either clarify or I’ll assume any tube not purchased from...

I’ve also been told by Woo that using tubes on the compatibility list NOT bought directly from Woo may void your warranty. For that reason, my 6se will be both my first and last Woo product. Not paying 100% over market value to buy from Woo’s limited tube choices. Would love to see someone...

Have you tried calling? I know you shouldn’t have to, particularly if it’s an international call, but worth a try given how long you’ve waited for an email response

Yeah, I guess I’ve sort of trained ChatGPT over the last several years of interactions. I have a professional interest in understanding how ChatGPT and other platforms interact with customers (and individuals) and have pushed “it” very hard to get a better understanding of how to ask questions...

The curated list it asks if I want is, um, interesting. To be fair to the vendors it chose, I’ll not be publishing that response.:astonished:

Yeah, hard to format long ChatGPT responses on a phone. Somehow doubled everything 😖. Cleaned it up as best I could after seeing that. Still too long.

Just a reminder that ChatGPT responses are highly dependent on the phrasing of the question and ChatGPT’s previous interactions with the user, influencing how the AI engine responds and what data it considers when responding. Conflicting responses are frequent. To demonstrate, I’ve...

You don’t seem to understand buffering and why the numerous times data is buffered would eliminate any relationship between electrical noise that in theory would somehow avoid the galvanic isolation existent in every spec wired ethernet connection. And where did “buffer overrun” come from...

Good luck. Logically, memory buffering should put an end to the conversation but it won’t. The concept that any noise riding along would be preserved in buffered memory then regurgitated when the data is requested is certainly unique.

The information on galvanic isolation is detailed in the link you clearly didn’t bother to read. Your insistence without evidence that accepted operating parameters of 802 from port to network to port are incorrect/ subject to EMI that audibly impacts a digital connection coupled with a lack of...

Are you actually reading my posts? Your responses make me wonder 1. Source. The IEEE 802.3 standard. Literally a requirement stated by the international body that determines Ethernet standards. A good overview is contained in this document...

EMI would be simple to test and confirm/disprove. Just put a scope on the Ethernet port on the output device and another on the Ethernet port of the input device. If there are electrical/analog differences, it would show there. Due to Ethernet being galvanically isolated, there will be no...

The only reason you would be worried about EMI is if you use out of spec "audiophile" cables. Ethernet, when actually following standards, is galvanically isolated. And if you're going to claim that the EMI is acting as some kind of repeatable audio filter, that would be obvious and evident...

So you want to ignore the "geeks" who actually understand the Ethernet/802.x operating model and standards? The same standards that enable the internet to exist, online finance to be reliable and secure, and trillions of other transactions every day? Sounds like a plan - let's ignore them...
