Yes I think the the WA22SE was renamed the WA33. I'm not aware of another amp that Woo was working on. The pics look similar to the WA22SE prototype too.

Not sure about that. The knob layout was different on WA22-SE prototype, and that design was a 2pc stack of power supply and amp. WA33 looks like an all-in-one design. I'll clear all this up for you guys at CanJam this weekend though :)

Yes, definitely a lot different than the WA22SE prototype we had seen. Single chassis (from what I can tell from the pics at least), different knobs, different tubes.

Sheesh, that price is a lot higher than I thought it would be. I can understand the price increase (from what they had estimated previously) IF it comes stock with those KR Audio & Takatsuki tubes as they cost a pretty penny.

I'd be happy if they just made the WA5 a little wider so I could fit in my ECC32 tubes.

Whoever gets to check it out this weekend should ask if it will come with the pictured tubes out of the box.

unlikely, but it'll be good at that price to include a set of quality tubes.  Seems 2A3 tubes are on the rise.. Eddie Current is building a 2A3 amp too, the Studio Jr., at much better price though, I think they are targeting $3k.
