    Should I sell my WA6?

    I've had a Woo Audio 6 for about 8-9 months and have spent a lot (I mean a lot!) on tubes to find a flavour that suited most of my full sized cans. I'm happy with it in that respect but the newest arrivals (HE-4 and HE-500) don't quite get enough grunt from it. I still have a set of 6FD7's to...

    WA5 LE or WA22? What a tough call

    Well I've seen some comparison thread on these two great amp. I was almost ordered the WA22 however since i got a slight hope that Jack "may" could do the parts upgrade for the WA22. However, on a second thought, if I could do the upgrade on the wa22 the price would be very close to the WA5LE...

    WA5 vs WA5-LE

    Are they essentially the same in term of driving headphones (such as HD800)? The difference between them is that WA5 can drive K1000 and some high efficient speakers? Thank you in advance.

    Woo Dilemma

    I'm a few weeks away from ordering a Woo 5LE.  Now my source Proceed CDD/DAP transport and DAC are totally down and not worth repairing (wasn't working, then magic it's like new, now gremlins have taken over again!!).  That would be OK since I'm moving everything to a computer based sourcde...

    Woo 22 with balanced source or WA5LE?

    I have to believe the WA5LE would outperform the WA22 with a balanced source say the Ayre QB-9.  Does anyone have first hand feedback on this?  Either owned both or listened to both maybe at CanJam.  I am not going to email Jack w/another question having moved from the 6, then 6E and now...

    This journey started by looking for a new SS amp to replace my old HeadRoom Home.  After ages of ignoring Woo posts I saw Musicman59's Black WA5-LE and that was it.  I was lucky enough to have Skylab invite me over to A/B the Meir SS and his Woo 6.  a few minutes listen and I knew the Woo was...

    Woo WA5 LE vs WA6 SE

    I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Is what I assume to be an incremental improvement really worth the additional $1500 using K702 and HD650? (And I realize "worth" is subjective). Ignore features - I only care about sound quality. Thanks.

    Mullard ECC32???

    My WA5-LE can use the ECC32 in the driver positions instead of a 6SN7. I have seen that the Mullard ECC32 are very looked after and expensive. Does anybody have expereince with these tubes? What is their sound signature and presentation? Are they worth the money?   Thanks.

    Haven't seen many people address tube rolling on the WA-5, so I'm trying a thread about it.   Backstory:  I was a Woo WA-6 owner, and I had a great time running through tubes on the amp.  Ultimately settling on a 6SN7 drivers and a mid-1950's GZ34 rectifier as my reference set.     Then...
