Yes ... I ordered the WA22 for my balanced setup back in October. Still waiting to hear from Jack on an actual shipping date.

That's great to hear Clayton ... since I'm not far behind you with my order date.

Guess I'll start my drinking now!

Yes, this is a first generation Woo2. There is no preamp or line out.
The Black Gates that I have are standard issue for the base model, right?

My WES was picked up Tuesday and left New York yesterday, on it's way to Colorado. Good thing I've already heard it or the anticipation would be killing me.

I am happy for all you guys.

tosehee, there was a delay in the completion of my WA22 because of a defect in the chassis. I bet that's been cleared up so perhaps your order is still on the 5- to 6-week build timeline as estimated by Jack. Of course you could email him again and ask for another estimate.

I have 243 hours on my WA6SE maxxed. I'm sitting there listening to some Floyd and my walks in and hands me a box full of Sophia Princess. I rolled that baby in and fired it up. What a pretty glow.

The result right off the bat was simply a complete tightening up of the bass. I didn't recognize the bloat albeit slight, until it was gone. Wow.

This is brand new and the black gates may have a while to go before they are at their best but if it didn't get any better than this I'd be just fine.

Thanks for the guidance y'all.

Ray

A great investment which you will never regret of. Mine has hit approx 800+ hours and it sounds more than awesome. Tweak the DAC as we speak, which is now bringing the listening experience to another dimension/.

Wait until the Sophia has 30-80 hours on it!

Yah. I was just little worried because I get a local get-together on January that I'd like to bring WA22 to show. In any rate, I am not going to bother him with the build/estimate. Once it gets to 4-5 weeks, I will send an email to get more up-to-date info. Until then, it's fine. I have a lot of killing to do with tube catch ups and what not.

There is no Black Gate in the base model.
You might want to upgrade it to the current build.

Listening to the drums in Santana's Migra. Holy big full realism Batman. This is good stuff.

It'd probably be cheaper in the long run to just buy a new amp spec'd the way I wanted it. Once I add all the shipping to Ice Station Zebra it would start getting silly methinks.
I'm very impressed with this one as is and am quite happy. I can only imagine what the new builds sound like.
It would appear that the Woo2 has been through quite a few revisions.

Hear, hear! It's a cause for celebration on both our ends.
