I wonder why they discontinued the WA4? Owners seem to love it, so why discontinue a product which more people may still buy..

I wish I could get my hands on this Woo Audio Phono Preamp.

Not in the same class, but I wonder why ALO did the same thing with the Pan Am. Too bad.

That was a great looking amp. I'm wondering though, if your power amp is a tube amp, then does your phono preamp have to be tube as well or is ss fine. There are a lot of good ss phono preamps out there for a good price.

I don't use a phono anymore (for decades now) but I don't think the pre-amp would need to be tube based. I'm sure a SS would be good enough to provide the signal.

I thought so. But that Woo Phono Amp is sure cool-a-mundo!

I spent all day cleaning my apartment and decided to put the WA22 back in service after being in the closet for a year. This is my new bedroom setup.

Looks like my Marantz CD-63 SE there...are you using it as a transport into a DAC...?

  Bedroom setup revision! WA22 (2009) and WA4 (2011).
 

 
I am going back through the pages and I actually saw your post from a year ago (page 1000 and something)...again with the lovely flower

Can't seem to find any info on this. It was discontinued?

Good catch. It is the CD-67 SE and I am using it as a transport into a Cambridge Audio DAC Magic.

Yes. I've moved the WA4 off the cart and the WA22 in its place. I have another version of the WA4 made in 2011 which uses the rectifier EZ80 / EZ 81, 6V4 / 6CA4. The WA4 made in 2004 (or 2005) uses a SS rectifier.

Nice VPI, Shaffer! I have a HW-19 too. Has a Memorial arm. Love it.

Thanks very much! This is my third HW19, even though I've owned much more elaborate 'tables, this one just feels right. The '19 is fairly modified, but it's basic character hasn't fully changed.

Nice! I am using a 20 year old dac-in-a-box into a Cambridge Aura amp...I will have to post pics eventually
