Hi Woo Gang! Been doing a lot of reading here to learn more about the WooAudio amplifiers, so thank you for all the info posted here. Was wondering if you could please share your thoughts on how much you think a lightly used WA3 might be worth these days, with stock tubes. Seems like there are not very many of them left in the wild. Also, is there a list of compatible tubes for this amp around here? On their website, there's no info on WA3 anymore apparently. Thank you all in advance.

did you end up getting one?

I sure did, and I'm absolutely loving it.

So I started in this hobby about 4 months ago and I’ve just received my first tube amp.

Keen to learn more, not so keen to go too deep on rolling, but so far I love the sound.

A few photos I took today.

Beautiful photos. Well done. Enjoy the amp...

Seriously nice setup. Nothing more required!

Spectacular, both visually and musically.

Not sure if this is thread appropriate but I have no idea where else to ask this. Have any early gen WA6 and WA6-SE owners seen these green label Sylvania 6DE7 tubes with black plate structure? Can't find any info about them on the internet nor a single photo so I'm guessing they are quite rare?

I have a pair of Sylvania 13DE7 which are the 13v equivalent. Don't know how rare they may be considered, but they are my favorite 13DE7 style tube.

I've seen similar Sylvania 6DE7's come up on Ebay from time to time. I have no firsthand knowledge or experience with them myself though.

My heart sank when I watched your review... I am almost up to the top of the list and I thought I made a mistake with the VO. I am glad to hear that some tweaking worked out well! I am hoping the VO sound just as good on my comparably moderate WA2 or WA6SE!

Rest assured Verite pairs wonderfully with WA6-SE. Granted I think WA6-SE requires a good amount of investment in quality tubes but thats almost another story.

Also, Zach recommends 300 hours of burn in for a new pair of Verite. My experience is closer to 400 hours to really let the stiff surrounds loosen up.

5x KR burning in on the WA33.. even in the early hours so far, it sounds much better than the stock set.
