How to bag a WA2.
 
I will be on a flight to Amsterdam tomorrow afternoon to deliver Ultrainferno my portable amp system with no power source and no tubes.
 
Security: What's in the backpack?
Me: What backpack?
 

 
 
Did you go to the gym to prepare for this?? 

 
any chances that you will be heading to China

I made it past security. They did however pull me aside to have me open my backpack and do a pad swipe to test for explosives. The guard asked me what it was and I said a stereo. She asked me what kind of stereo. I said it was just for headphones. She said that all she buys are earbuds. I said some guys buy expensive cars, I buy expensive headphones. She said that she buys expensive shoes. There you go!

just the other day, my sophia tube on my WA6-SE had sparks coming from the 2 wires inside the mesh plate (happens near the bottom of the plate), it only happened once when music played (sparked a bit and then kept playing music like normal), and now it sometimes happens when it turns on. also the sophia runs a little hotter than usual.
 
 
it still sounds the same and everything, but it never happened before and i'm a little worried, is it normal for tubes to do this or is my tube/amp dying on me ?

Sorry to hear about your new found experience with Miss Sophia (potentially). I'd rather learn it was the tube misbehaving than your amp.

Dubstep.  This cannot be good.  email Jack Woo.  And get some electrical fire suppression equipment.  err...soon.

First let me apologize for everyone who was looking for me and waited for the 596's adapters and Umbilical Cable. I went for a trip with my Dad to a place where people don't even know what a computer is, But i am back now to provide you all with the converters and Umbilical Cable. 
 
For now i'm in Singapore now for a few days and will be going back to Indonesia, Jakarta for 1-2 weeks and then back to Beijing at last.
 
So if anyone is still interested in the 596's Converter and the WOO Umbilical cable will have to wait 2 weeks time till i get back to Beijing.
 
Please send me a new PM about the 596's converter and the Umbilical cable. I am assuming that Setamp will still be able to provide the US distribution of the converters to reduce the shipping cost.
 
 
Thanks,

 

 To a valued member, welcome back!

It's called arcing. I wouldn't be too worried unless its doing it all the time. Most likely to happen on power up.

 

[Dubstep Girl]

yeah it just happened once while music was playing but then it stopped.
 
it doesn't happen all the time only on start up a little bit and that one time.

 

[Xcalibur255]

Arc over will significantly shorten the life of the tube.  It's because it is receiving too much inrush current on startup.  This has been an ongoing debate with some of the Woo amps.

^ And there will be no fix. Design flaw .
