Hi there, I have made the decision that I will be buying "ONE" power cord only and will share it among the 3 Amps as I would never be using more then one at a time anyways. I am looking to drop about 2500 or so on a really nice one but not sure would be best in the price range...?

You really should buy a power cable for each amp, not just for convenience, but to protect your amp’s PSUs and outlets from potential damage from constantly pulling the plugs in-and-out. Also, a power conditioner will ensure clean power at all times. Even with your budget, get this power conditioner and a few of these cables:

(has battery backup and less outlets)

(no battery backup and more outlets)

(no battery backup and 8 individually-controlled outlets)

(more flexible, regular size IEC plug)

(less flexible, large size IEC plug)

(more flexible, extra large size IEC plug)

Save the rest for tubes.

The "WOO" is out for delivery for today sometime. Quite anxious to see this unit in person. I hear the packaging is quite impressive on the WA5-2

Ok I think I am good on headphone amps for awhile as if I can't hear it with one of these then I need not be listening I guess... Thanks WOOOOOOO as it is fantastic and what a awesome job packing it too. Still lacking a power cable but will get one shortly...

beautiful... Happy to see it arrived safely. You can use any standard power cord to try out the amplifier.

We recommend allowing the tubes to warm up for 5 minutes (headphone connected, volume down) before critical listening. The sound will improve with every use.

I am looking into buying a nice Marantz CD Player and just wondering what terminal/terminals on the back of the WA5 would I use to connect to the CD Player..?

Just get an Arcam CDS50 player and connect to the WA5 via XLR with these cables:
