Looks very nice but for some reason I like the one Glenn made.  The base on the Woo adapter definitely more classy, perfectly match your WA5...

Jack really should be proud on how these came out!

Thanks guys! Another nice improvement was the umbilical cord that our friend Keph made for me based on Neotech OCC copper chassis wire. The ground floor really dropped so the music is coming from a really dark background letting me really listen to every detail. Before replacing it in my WA5-LE Robert from Aphroditecu29.com made one for my Dark Star out of the same Neotech wire and I had similar results.

musicman59, did the dampers come with the Woo adapters?
The ones for the 596 match so well...
Very nice

To get an idea of the material used (Neotech OCC Copper chassis wire) and the fine craftsmanship of keph & Robert, what kind of money am I looking at if I wanted to replace the standard umbilical on the WooAudio WA 6 Special Edition?

So nice, some may have looked twice! But I have three computers - simply left the page up on one screen and never stopped looking.

Most certainly, I'll shoot a BIG aperture, small aperture, motion-stop, motion blurred and...upside down?

 Best if you sent him a PM 'cause I know he's slowly returning to form (grand form, I might add...), I also suspect he could a bit behind (understatement).

 
Indeed :) placed an order today for the ez80 to 6x5  - alas the Woo WA5 cannot accept a 12SN7 to 6SN7 adapter, however its safe to try what I have. Hopefully my dealer will be game to bundle a circuit mod with the Cap and Resister upgrades on my WA5.
 
All happening of course whilst enjoying Wembley's vast sound stage

Just joined the WA22 club thus week and I'm already looking for ways to upgrade the amp. Which upgrade, for those who have experience with this, would provide an immediate improvement in sound quality of the WA22? Upgrade of the amp's internal wiring or the capacitors to V-Cap?

Would be very interested to hear your recommendations.

Congrats on the WA22!! What did you upgrade from?

No. The dampers are Duende Criatura. I could not find them in the right size here in the USA so I ordered them from an European site.

I just got news from Keph's girlfriend, he's ok but he's on a business trip with his dad in a non developed area, so he can not access the www at all. He should be back in the modern world by mid august, for those who are wondering (I know he's been selling adapters and power cables)

This is great to hear! I remember (vaguely) his sharing with us, going on the road...

Tung Sol 7236 and 596 coming my way for my WA22. Looking forward to hearing the differences it makes over Syl 7236 and the Sophia 274B.

That looks like some really really nicely crafted gear - very pro. Glenn's kit is excellent. 
 
Have my EZ80 > 6X5 adapter on order, really looking forward to receiving that!
 
Which amp are you using that's OTL?
