Could anyone tell me how long the umbilical cord is on the WA5 / WA5-LE?  Not sure if it's only one length or if Jack offers several, I'm guessing there are performance issues with the longer length.  Trying to figure out if I have enough space.  Thanks !

The stock cable should be around 12" in length, better confirm with Jack and you can always ask him for an offer of a longer one. He is responsive and would answer your question always in a short period (at least I experienced). BTW, I don't think there's audible different with a longer length of the umbilical cord  let say double of it's stock length.

Jack made me a custom longer umbilical for my 6SE, I went with 24" so I could stack on shelves one on top of the other.  Jack said there would be no performance issues, and I can't hear any difference between the two.  I run with the longer connection all the time now.  I am making the assumption he can do the same for the 5/5LE.

What would the 24" option run? I may want to invest to have greater flexibility inside the room... thanks!

I asked Jack similar question few month ago...

The length of DC cord is 18''. It allows you to place the units 6'' apart. Double length is $90 extra.

The one thing to keep in mind, is both the Amp and PSU should have nothing over them and be well ventilated.

this has probably been covered a million times, but are there any opinions on 6SE + LCD2 from you wiser and more experienced woothusiasts? For the rock genre? I'm using 650s (for jazz, classical and rock) and love them, but they are as loose/soft(?) as I'd probably want to go for rock.

6SE + LCD-2r1 is a superb combination. Very fast ,dynamic and powerful sound
 
If you are using HD650's now, prepare to be stunned!!

I would just PM him the question.  I think he's using just the Moon's now.
 
FWIW I have Moon Blue Dragon IC's  Silver less expensive version of the Silver Dragon.  Nice!  He's(Drew) excellent to do business with as well.  I want to upgrade my cable at some point here as well and probably will do  the Moon.  Cardas has one coming out but probably muy expensive.

I have been neglecting my thread reading the past few days!

I actually prefer the Moon Silver Dragon to the ALO with the LCD2 (rev1) and Woo 22. The ALO sounds great, but is noticeably warmer to me. It is also pretty bulky (I have the Chain Mail 8 - the thicker one, all copper).

Thanks for the input, that is what I'm afraid on copper cable with tube amp.

I don't recall exactly, I think it was right around $120. He offered it for less if i wanted to send in the shorter cable in exchange but I kept both for changing my setup in the future.

Hi All,
 
We have just made an announcement for a new flagship amp. Please check the Sponsor Announcement thread.
 
The new 24/192k DAC and top loading CD transport will also be released at the same time.

I am looking forward to hearing it at RMAF.  Because I certainly cannot afford to buy one!  But I bet it's spectacular.

New Woo, who knew?!
 
Exciting! This comes as a wonderful compliment to this morning's breakfast (Silent One tosses the L.A. Times aside).

Think I'll be keeping the twin chassis design close at that price. Think of the audiophile grade vinyl that could be had in its place...

$10K?  That is in rare air.  I wonder what the upgrades are?
 
So with headphone connection are you going one XLR of two for the headphone nto each amp?
