Hello to all Wooowners fellas! As I said the other day, as of now my WA22 is my second headphone ampli because I recently bought an incredible (also for the price because it costs more than ten times the WA22!) pre ampli (the German-made Klimo Parsifal;maybe in the U.S.A. it is not known) in two...

Hello, I have a very high-end system (as source Naim 555 + 2 555 PS power supply, WA22 as second headphone ampli and Senn HD 800 as haedphone), Recently a very old friend of mine (he taught me my first steps on learning to play guitar way back in the '80s!) came to my home to listen to my audio...

Hello everybody from Italy! After a long hiatus (due to the sad loss of my father) I am come back to read and, sometimes, write in this beatiful thread! I have a lot of news in my high-end gear and, to tell the truth, my WA22 is currently my second best headphone amplifier and it shines on my...

Well for me it happens every time I make some upgrade in my gear. Last year I have bought a French CD player YBA, a very good only CD player (before it I listened to my music through a Marantz universal player): when I first listened to my YBA I thought: "Wow, what a sound!", Than, the day after...

Quote: Sigh, sometimes your posts make my head turn because I don't really know what advice to follow: on page 871 SilentOne says that for him EML 5U4G is better than Sophia Princess, now bobeau says that for him 5U4G has a sound very similar to the Sophia and than the old EML 274 Solid is...

Hello dear friends, I have decided to relax (well, at least for some months) to let breathe again my poor wallet and to enjoy all my precious CD's until, I think, next Springtime (more or less)! Then I will certainly feel the urge to buy an headphone ampli to equal (if possible) my Naim 555...

  Quote: Hello SilentOne, maybe I didn't explain very well in English my theory. My friend (if you want take a look at his shop here is the link: www.gianfaldoni.com) doesn't make by himself tube rings because every shop that sells electric things (such as bulbs, electric socket, etc)...

  Quote: Thanks to you all for your "wise" words. About tube rings, as I have already said in my last post, these Duende are perfectly equals to my tube rings (oops, to tell the truth, my tubes are black and are priced only 0,90 euros a pair). Really guys, you have been very kind to...

Quote: Well, for this kind of things my high end retailer (and friend) is very honest and competent. I have asked him for some tube rings to put on my TS BG RP and instead of selling me his "branded" tube rings (at the price of about 35 euros for a couple) he took me at an electrician's...

  Quote: Well guys, I am just having a nervous breakdown! It is very nice to read this forum and to partecipate to some discussions, but sometimes it drives me really mad (sorry if it is not the right English word). Here I am: in this last period I have spent a large amount of money...

Quote: Hello, I didn't ever see on Jack's site EML tubes on sale! Here in Europe there is an excellen German seller that offers a guarantee of 12 months (or 2,000 hours) so I think I will buy my EML 5U4G mesh plate from him to replace my Sophia Princess on my WA22. In your opinion EML is...

Quote: I have ordered my WA22, last November, and, at the same time I sent to Jack half the sum requested, then, after a month (as stated by Jack in his first answer to my ordering email), I have received my WA22 here in Italy (and keep in mind that it was Christmas's time!) In my first...

To all WA22 owners: Hi guys, do you have in mind Jack's "Woo Audio amplifier comparisons" table? In the category "Euphonic" our ampli beats also the WA5 and the WA5-LE! What do you think about it? Do you agree with him? Also it would be interesting to know if Jack has compiled his...

Quote: Hello guys and please excuse me if sometimes I write too much and I become boring! My WA22 is not plugged directly into the wall but it is plugged into a mains conditioner (the Italian's Nightingale) that give to it more body, presence, bass frequency and silence (and thus air)...

  Quote: Yeah, I know that Naim cd 555 is way too expensive but in these last months I have decided to build my ultimate High-End System and since I am single, and my late dear mummy let me a good amount of money I have decided to invest part of it in my audio System: keep in mind that I...

Last post of the day for me! Guys, in your opinion, what are the principal differences between a solid state ampli and a tube ampli or to better phrase my thought, what are the ups and the downs of each of this kind of amplifiers? I ask for your opinion because I have always thought that a...

I have bought my HD 800 just a year ago and I listen to all kind of music (classical, rock, jazz, folk, blues, etc,) except hip hop,  heavy metal, electronic music and so on. I find that my HD 800 is wonderful with jazz and also with classic rock. My setup is very expensive (as source now I...

Hello guys (I am here again but it is not my fault if at this hour you all are sleeping and I am the only one online!)  Yesterday evening I was listening to Christian McBride's "Gettin' to it" a wonderful jazz CD of about 15 years ago. Well I found a perfect song to try an headphone...

Quote: original posted by sillysally   (Anyway, my findings with my WA5LE and WE 300B's and the other tubes I use, is that it is all dependent on what you have feeding this Amp like what DAC/source you are using.)   I agree with you sillysally: people are saying that Senn HD-800 is a...

Quote: original posted by Golfnutz   (LUMAZ, if you have WE421a power tubes with a pure balanced source into the WA22 balanced input, I would say something is wrong in the fact that you have your volume set to 11 o'clock. Loud should be around 5 clicks from the bottom (3 o'clock)...

Just a question out of sheer curiosity to all Woo owners (and good morning to you all!). For how long can you listen to music with a can on your head without a pause? (that is apart from go to the bathroom or things like this!). And if you have more than an headphone (I have only my Senn...

Quote: original posted by SilentOne   (Ok, I've another suggestion! Send Jack of Woo Audio a message from their website briefly outlining the problem. This is because when he started out, his customer base was New York City - tons of apartment buildings, high rises and stuff. Trust me...

Quote: Original posted by SilentOne   (Regarding your WA22, I know what it's like to have a beautiful passage marred by hum. That has been my story over the weekend - decided not to indulge my Woo. Your hum is interesting though in that you hear it in a single channel? I wonder if this is a...

Hello guys; I am very sorry if my arrival has disrupted some thread's rule: since I am a very lonely man (single, I live with my old daddy and, until last March my mummy and my life is made only by work, attend to my daddy especially on weekends when we have no help at home, and then listening...

Quote: original posted by  SilentOne     (Seasoning... can make a good life even better! Based on your Naim's design, including the separate power supply, I wouldn't be surprised if the best was yet to come between 500-700 hours. Not talking minimum but rather, when it really begins to...
