Congrats, you will not disappointed but the waiting is going to kill you. My wait is almost over, Jack finally emailed me the shipping number. It is about 5 weeks.

Hey Covenent, how long have you been placed your order and still keep waiting? It should be over few weeks as you've mentioned.

Anyway, welcome to join and congrats on your new toy.

It's been 4 weeks already. I'm just hoping it'll be here in time for the Richmond meet on the 5th of July, although even if it is it wont be burned in by then. Jack has told me he'll do his best to get it done and here before then

I just hope it doesnt get delayed by customs, too

 

[dannie01]

Oh, 4 weeks is about time for Jack to delivery, mine shipped out in the 5th weeks after ordered. Hope you can get your amp before the meet.

Thanks. I saw those pics of your killer rig. Very nice indeed.

As crazy as this may sound, I am also toying with the idea of buying a maxed out WA5. When I had Jack custom build my mono blocks the parts upgrades weren't really an option. My amps have V-caps in them but no blackgates. Don't get me wrong, as I really love the sound of my rig.

But I recently took delivery of a pair of AKG K1000s and fell in love with them. I still prefer speakers, but the K1000s are the best sounding cans these ears have heard. For now am running them off of the speaker connections on my mono blocks. Jack said he would build a 2 channel speaker selector switch if I wanted one. So I am kicking that option around too.

I'm not in any big rush, so I will sit on it for a week or two and then make up my mind.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone on here with the maxed WA5. Take one for the team and go straight for the top!

 

[dannie01]

Yeah agree, go straight for the maxed WA5.

I don't think that I am maxxed on the WA5... but I come pretty close. Mine came with several upgrades to the amp section when I got it from tyrion... Vcaps and the like..

When I had a PSU issue a while ago I talked to Jack about what we could do with it... So we pumped it up...

Replacing the entire board, along with other parts.... form this...

To THIS:

new:

Well worth it. Gained so much more control and speed.... Big caps = good caps.

Happy ordering...


Cheers,

Nice pics, what a pretty innards especially the V-cap and those big Jensen in the PSU.

I thought I remembered someone on here posting a thread about the "ultimate WA5"...it had WBT NextGen RCA's, some exotic tubes, and a bunch of internal upgrades. If I can find the thread I'll post it...

I like how Woos are built like tanks on the outside yet extremely organized and well thought out in the inside. Really top notch build quality. Jack said my WA22 will ship in early august, opted for silver instead of black, and yay for no premium parts (apparently already built with really good parts), just upgraded tubes. Can't wait!

 

[dannie01]

Found it.

Woo Audio WA5-LE Custom Build

Owner is dvb-projekt from Germany, a really rich guy

, the unit is terribly expensive, he said that "If you would like to get an offer for the same Amp, please call Jack Woo.
He is a real nice guy and could help you with this question. But it will be over $ 6K incl. shipping."
