Speaking of food, every picture I've seen of a black Woo shows grimy, oily fingerprints all over. You can almost smell the buttered popcorn topping and pepperoni through the browser. SilentOne-san, comments?
 
This doesn't apply to the freshly deboxed ones. It would appear that Jack eats his Cinema Lover's in a separate facility.
 
I'm torn, I really am. The black Woos are sexy as hell, but the silver always seem cleaner. On the other hand, the black would provide a richer background for lovely glowing Sophia. If Jack went ahead and introduced colors this already overly-dramatic, color-picking torture would expand exponentially. The mind reels.
 
I must retreat to a hot tub and contemplate it all.
 
 

You can get a Woo 5 LE in red they said after I asked. Any color they offer can be ordered. There is a fee for the upgrade. I have both a Woo in black and a Woo in silver. What about a Woo 5 in gold!

Here's a short video I did on the WA3+, probably not that informative but still WOO related..
 

I applaud your effort. Your WA3+ video is of value to those familiar with Woo Audio but never really looked at the '3.' And especially to those unregistered guests that visit the thread trying to make heads/tails of Woo Audio amps; vacuum tube amps, in general. Many stumble upon these pages from links and web searches, having never visited Head-Fi before. So, it's good to see videos supplement posts in this space.
 
Quick question about your transformer: Did you replace it yourself, have it done or was it done by the previous owner?

Showcase-
 
I've always been interested in seeing Woo Audio's showcase of custom amps. They have done and still do wicked builds. Wouldn't it be great if we could peruse this private online portfolio of client builds? May send Jack Wu a Tweet overnight... 

 ok, in the morning!

 A few days ago, my WA 6 Special Edition turned over 2,500 hours on the ODO.

Holey moley.  Didn't you buy your amp after I did?  I'd be surprised if I had 1/5 of that time on mine.  If any of us have ever wondered if capacitors wear out I think sooner or later you'll be the one to be able to tell us.

This means you overlooked my own pix of my Black Special Edition - no prints. We don't do (eat) popcorn or meat. 

 Only green tea, cold milk and gourmet ice-cream gets inside the listening room on different nights. 

 
 
I only pick movie butter popcorn and pepperoni because they are the greasiest foods I could come up with off the top of my head. I mentioned you by name because I had an inkling you wouldn't touch either, much less saunter into your listening room with 'em. And, you have a sense of humor. The running dialog I have in my nogging occasionally fails to translate to the written page. 

 
Good move on no meat. My first 18 months here in Malaysia I was 98% vegetarian and I hope to get back to it. No popcorn? Why, I guess it takes all kinds.

Any color they offer? Whoa. Does anyone know what colors are to be had?

That's a really low total from a 9 July, 2010 start. I tend to listen only 2-3 times a week if I'm fortunate. 

 Don't forget my legendary and extended warm up times. A vacuum tube amp @ 2,500 hrs? Things are just gettin' good!

I had m friend Jacob do all the work on the unit. The transformer is about the same size as the stock one but is heavier. One thing is for sure that the unit is now more powerful. I also had him lower the gain of the amp because it got too loud too fast.
 
I still have all the stock parts here that he took out and the unit will be reverted back to stock form when it is time I decide to sell it.
 
Also...

I may successfully revisit some forbidden fruits from times past, someday. I just know (I can f-e-e-l it!) there's some Wild Woo's out there that simply have yet to be captured or indexed by search engines (customers being reserved). But I'd love to see some!

Glad to hear my work is appreciated
 
I trust everything is going well with the D7000 and cable?

Yes.  The cable you added is top notch.  Much lighter than the original and no coiling issues.  The ZX-D7000 knows how to bring it

 Very exciting to hear from a fellow W4S-WA-D7000 owner.
