Does anyone here have Woo Audio 9 pin to 9 pin socket savers and is able to tell me the Dimensions?

I'm curious if they would fit my Octave V16

That's probably the one Woo adapter I don't have...

Lets see what the fuzz is all about and if this is more than snake oil 🐍

I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts after 50+ hours of use! (Mind you, some folks hear changes for much longer, as the reported burn-in time is 200+ hours).

Please note that Woo Audio does not advise long periods (8+ hours) of continuous amp usage.

Feel free to DM me if you prefer to avoid comments from folks who feel fuse changes are ineffective and a waste of funds. 😉

I recently got a pair of Grado RS1x, so I wanted to try out my other tubes to see how they compared with the new cans.

With my WA22 i've noticed my Sophia 274b is really only silent with the 5998, and 6as7g or 6080 variants had a low to medium background hum.

I swapped out for the 596, and all the other variants are now silent. Anyone notice the same with any 274b rectifiers?

As I found it quite annoying especially with a black WA6-SE (don’t get me wrong I like black over silver 😉⚫️) to see the dust cover up on the surface I found this solution to be quite handy.

It protects from dust and on the other hand doesn’t hides the amp

How about cleaning once in a while!?
Just kidding, nice cover.

Tubes may over heat without ventilation, mesh cover would be better

Of course, the cover gets removed when the amp is in operation and placed over when it’s cooled down again. ✌️

I didn’t like a mesh cover because it hides the amp and is not really leakproof for dust. So I wanted something that protects and displayes the gear at the same time. We all like to look at our pretty little unit as often as we can ✨, right?

With child around, I cannot risk to remove cover even when in use. It would be more risky as they may touch tubes and get burn.
Right now I somehow managing without cover, but like to have mesh cover for them.
Any suggestion for seller who can make mesh cover for WA33?

I think @paradoxper knows someone who makes them. I can't remember where we were discussing that the other day...
