The shipping fees and all could have ended up being more costly to you but it would not be hard nor would it be time consuming for me to get those coveted 596s delivered to you and other members. With a little help from our friends, Ultrainferno and Silent One, we were each able to do our part in bringing peace, harmony and 596s to the people of the World Woo!
Yes, I just returned to the listening room...and put you in the rotation. The adapter you'll have to pursue separately. Initially, I was going to have adapters made locally, and then ship them out. Then a fellow member approached WooAudio and got the ball rolling there. And another member has a dealer now making them as well (location: China). Even our very own 2359glenn may be able to assist later this summer.
Got it! And to be fair, I'm slotting requests at the time they're received. I'll send occasional PM's to keep those on the list posted. Because deals can happen and/or change in an instant! One member may balk at a certain price, while another may just want to pull-the-trigger! So, I'll continue to share information as it comes down the pike.
Also, if someone stumbles upon a source, please let the group know. Ok, after you've gotten yours.

I really am excited about WooAudio stepping up to deliver what some of its owners wants - good business! Wouldn't it be somthing if Jack Wu decided to invest in a few lots of USAF-596's to offer for sale?

He better sort out how to solve the problem of the 5U4G will blown on the WA5LE that Jac and Glenn already raised out, I still hear no answer or is it the only problem on my unit, no clue.

This is true. Your amp has been at the center of this dialogue for some time. Thanks to your input here, I have observed a few back-and-forths between the parties and then... silence.

Correct, then Glenn has some finding about the 596 which can be used in the WA5LE safely and Clayton SF released the information in this forum, of course, most of us heard it better sounding than other much ecpensive rectifiers when we plugged it in. Jac and Glenn also advise some modification on the PSU unit and Jac's advise has passed to Jack for his comment but again, no answer since..................I already forgot how long it last.

Could someone help refresh my memory about EML 5U4G Mesh failures? I tried the search function but could not find the threads that I thought I remembered.
I have had the same, original EML 5U4G mesh in my WA22 for almost 1 1/2 years now and last night while testing a new pair of Western Electric 421As, I heard a loud pop and saw a flash at start up. I listened for a while and heard/saw no problems. Luckily, no damage to the HD800s.
I then allowed the amp to cool completely. I pulled the 421s out and put some TS 5998s that have been used for many hours. (great tubes!) What I saw this time at start up was a white spark in the EML. I heard no pop because this time the volume was at minimum (note to self...always power up with volume at zero/minimum, which I usually do)
Now, according to the EML site: If you ignore this design rule, tube damage will result. Also in many "professional" amplifiers, this design rule is not used by designers who do not read the historical data sheets Tube damage can result as a white spark inside the tube at switch on, filament material can chip off, or the tube life will be much reduced. With most amplifiers, the transformer winding is directly connected to the tube socket, and no protective series resistors are used. In most cases, the transformer resistance can be conveniently measured by a specialist, directly at the tube socket, when the rectifier tube is removed first.
The rule referred to above is about resistors. Has this been discussed before, perhaps by Glenn?
