Summer is usually slower. Kids are out of school so people take this time to go on family holiday.

See us at the upcoming Head-Fi meet in San Francisco to audition WA33 (standard model with stock tubes). Be warned... you can't UN-hear it. :)

The wa33 maybe better, maybe a whole lot better than the wa5 but I doubt it sound like the wa5. I got the wa5 was because of the tube, 300b, or I would have gone to other vendor(s)


Anyway, still extra curious on this beauty

Yea you're probably right. Now that I have the Takatsuki 300Bs I feel like I've arrived and there's nothing left to upgrade. Just buy one of each amp and try to appreciate the subtle diffs right? I want to hear a maxed out WA33 to hear what/if anything I'm missing (or just enjoy it for a few minutes). I already blew my budget to get the WA5 so I'm not even slightly tempted at the WA33, but still curious. I'm going to need a bigger raise at work to consider budging from what I already have in the next few years at this price level.

I bought the WA5-LE after a rather poor showing from my WA6. The WA6 was pleasant enough but it was missing a lot of resolution that I was used to. I have a Violectric V281 for my solid state duties and this was clouding my experience. I really wanted that unique sound that comes only from tubes, especially 300B amps. I listen to my Woo WA5 about 90% of the time and I love every minute of it. The WA33 in it's most basic form is more than 2X the cost of a WA5. Is it twice the amp? Only time will tell.

My Woo Bunnies have new ears! Woo just delivered two pairs of their adapters. The new 6F8G>6SN7 and 596>5U4G. They are built well and look spectacular.

It might be my mind playing tricks but they sound cleaner with more detail.

Hello guys,

Can the ECC31 be used on the WA22 without an adapter? Woo Audio`s tube compatibility chart doesn't mention the need for an adapter, and Michael from Woo didn't say anything about it when he replied to my email, but the pinout from the ECC31 and the 6SN7 are clearly different.
