Best lookin' is my black Woo 6, with a red LED instead of the regular blue one, of course.

I like understatement, without the bling, gold knobs, wood panels, and whatnot...

x2 on the Woo6. Understated elegance with an art deco flair is how I might describe.

Personally prefer the silver, but the black looks hot too.

Woo6 incoming... WooHoo

Hehe, yeah... I posted the silver one because of the more spectacular "coke bottle" 5U4G rectifier tube. The stock pics of the black Woo6 don't look as impressive with the smaller 5AR4 tube.

I think blue LEDs are quite distracting from the soothing orange glow of the tubes. And they're kinda overused in electronics today... for me they don't differentiate between "professional" or "serious" equipment and the rest anymore.

Here's a very interesting article about blue LEDs: http://www.dcontinuum.com/content/news.php?id=209

And here's my own Woo 6, with a Sovtek 5U4G:

Why not expand this thread to "best looking tubes"?

I read that article, it got pretty technical about what happens inside the eye, hell, I still like blue LEDs...I take melatonin before bed anyway.(Some researchers report that, at night, even low-level blue light may be enough to trigger recently discovered receptors in the retina that can depress melatonin production, disrupt sleep patterns and suppress the immune system.)

Great looking Woo btw...it shall be added to my Webshots.

Thanks - that's quite an honor.

Been watching the whole slide show some time ago... drool. Great job, Great Dane!

BTW, the tubes in that Zana Deux here look really wicked: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showpo...6&postcount=12
