Hmm, I've actually never tried plugging my K1000 into my WA22 as I didn't feel that it had enough oomph to run my HE-6 properly. How do you like them out of yours? I'll have to try that combo when my amp comes back.

My WA5 is still in Ottawa (a ~5 hour drive) and for some reason hasn't even moved today... the wait becomes longer.
To lessen the blow a fellow headfier offered me a good deal on some Sophia Princess meshplate ceramic base 300Bs, and I went out on a limb and picked up a new pair of matching 6SL7s. I suppose if I have to wait any longer I will have to complete the set with some Sophia 274Bs.
Anyone have a recommendation on a good place to pick up a pair at a good price?
Already costing me more than any other headfi purchase and the thing isn't even here yet

Is it shipping Canada Post? Usually you see no updates whatsoever, then magically it appears here in Toronto. Very typical of Canada Post.

USPS/CanadaPost... but it got into Richmond, from Vancouver on Saturday morning... and that's less than 5 hours from here. It cleared customs on Saturday as well (it had arrived from SF).
Canada Post I have found to be (usually) quite punctual, if by now there is nothing on the site for the day by now, almost 9pm, I don't imagine it has moved. But you may be right. Here's hoping that it's sitting in Missisauga for delivery tomorrow.

You run a black ops mission, get it out of Canada Post's hands and into my custody and I'll pay you the HST that is due and let you listen for an hour.
How about that?

I'm only speculating here, so take it with a grain of salt. I think you're ok because:
1) the fuse didn't blow
2) the tubes didn't blow
3) it still sounds fine
4) no smoke or barbecued hair
I would maybe open it up to see if the grounds are properly connected. While it is dry, which can certainly cause a build up of static electricity, it seems like a remote possibility a ground is not properly seated. This may have caused the tube (or whatever needed to discharge) to ground to the volume knob and not to the dedicated ground. Lucky it didn't ground to you!

I've been giving my little WA3 girl quite the workout at work. It's good because she blocks out a lot of extraneous noise. However, it makes coming home to the Trafomatic bittersweet. The combination of my computer's line out and the WA3 itself just can't keep up in terms of soundstage. It's very compressed. The Trafomatic just slaughters the little Woo girl. I guess I gotta upgrade the work DAC sooner than later, but, unfortunately, the little girl still lags behind in soundstage based on her genetics. It makes me appreciate the ability of the Trafomatic, but highlights the little girl's weaknesses.

Granted, the Woo makes for a beautiful ensemble, with the Yammy being a nice compliment. But I'm diggin' the storage rack... in Alpha order!
