I was just browsing the Woo website and noticed that the PDPS appears to have been made standard on the WA6 now. The price has gone up $35 and the PDPS upgrade option is now gone, replaced by a bullet noting it on the standard features list. Kudos to Jack for that, since he basically cut the cost of getting the PDPS in half for new buyers.

I've decided I'll be one of them shortly. I cannot afford the WA6-SE, but I think I'll be quite happy with the regular WA6 and plan to order one in the near future. I can't seem to stop looking at what tubes I want to buy in the meantime.....

I thought the old price was 550? which means there isnt a discount at all...

^ The old price was $585.

I was wondering if the 2nd input on the wa6se can be used as a loop out. I remember someone mentioning it once. Can it work that way by chance?

ok, my bad. Nice to see them absorbing some of the upgrade price then!

wow... just got the WA6 (with some upgrades). It's been 10 hours of burn-in.
I'm listening off and on, and let's just say I'm very impressed!

The bass obviously needs to tighten up, but the high-end is truly remarkable. Well, naturally everything is better with this amp, as my last one wasn't near it in quality.

Also just got a WA6, off of a local Head-fi'er. I love it. Can't stop staring at it. Most nights I stay up way too late, listening to it. Is this normal? My day job is starting to suffer! What's a fiend to do, Jack Wu?

How many times people fall in sleep with their amp on, and get up 2 am in the morning go to bed? I do that a lot now days.

 

[sampson_smith]

Yup... that's exactly what has been going on. On that note, with no music coming though the WA6, is it safe to leave it on overnight, apart from the "leaving the hot tubes unattended" warning?

Woo recommends not leaving the amp running for longer than 8hrs at a time - so provided you're not sleeping in, then yes

Alas, I've had to sell off my WA6SE and so I'm no longer really a part of the Woo Owner's thread

I have to say though, if I had known beforehand how excellent the 6FD7 tubes were and that my 6SE would be incompatible with them, I would have bought a regular WA6 instead.

EML 5U4G + Sylvania 6FD7s were a winning combo.

do you think the sophia princess along with sylvania 6FD7 would work well also?

Yes, although you'd get slightly less sense of air and treble sparkle with the Sophia.

k one more question,
does the brand have importance? I can't seem to find a place to get those tubes.

That is really amazing mate, I have been thinking of getting one.

Any upgrades on the one you got.

Any impressions on comparison with your gilmore lite.

Yes, it does. Jack Wu should be able to provide them for you, or if he's out of stock try vacuumtubes.net (Takezo recommended this seller to me, and they're where I got my set of Sylvania 6FD7s from).
