I also want to know how is WEE compared with SRD-7?

The WEE is clearly better than my SRD-7 Mk2 and SRD-7 Pro. I thought I posted impressions here.
You definitely want an amp with speaker terminals.
You may want to look into a SS amp. I have an Alesis RA150 (<$200) that I use to drive HE6/K1000. I would like to add a WEE to that at some point. You could always add a tube stage or tube preamp later.
I had 404's, a SRM-1/MK-2, and a WEE, all at the same time. I found that SS amps worked best with the WEE. I did indeed try adding a tube pre-amp (12AU7 based, and I used great tubes) but did not hear an improvement. I also did not hear any "better"-type difference between the SRM-1/MK-2 and the WEE. They didn't sound the same, they both sounded fine. I preferred the SRM-1/MK-2 with 404s over the WEE. I had friends who felt the other way.
Unless the caps are all dried up on the SRM-1/MK-2, I for one do not believe you will think you spent your money wisely if you ditch the SRM-1/MK-2 for a "nice Chinese tube amp plus the WEE".
I think Woo Audio makes great stuff, and their high-end amps sound fantastic. But I have to call this "upgrade" as I see it -- not an upgrade.
Save you money and someday buy 009 + a great tube amp designed for it. That difference you will hear. Heck, that difference you will feel, fall for, and weep over.
Hi All, Thought I would ressurect this thread regarding a question on the Woo Wee ! In the online Wee manual it shows the the "+" terminals both for the connection to the speaker amp and to the speakers in the middle and the "-" terminals on the end. On the Wee itself it shows the red terminals on the end and the black terminals in the middle. Which one is correct as my integrated speaker amp (Chord Electronics Cyan Click) has red for "+" or right channel and black for "-" or left channel. This also goes for the RCA non balanced and XLR balalnced connections i.e. red for right channle and black for left channel.
RED is positive terminal and BLACK is negative terminal on WEE. We will update the manual in the morning.
