Interesting info on Power Cords from the 6 Moons site.  Defends our audiophile nature against those accusing us of Snake Oil Addiction!  http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/motek/1.html

I live in 110V, 120V territory and its website states: Voltage Standard Available: 220V, 230V. Maybe that's a good thing.

Jack also had that one in CanJam. It is not a transport. it is a full blown CD player tube based from the same company of the Dac/Transport combo I posted the link for. The CD player is is th emodel CD-9iiT and reatial for $1,499. The combo is the Amadeus 10th anniversary edition and retails for $2,499.
 
I tried both and they are very nice.

Thinking about joining the Woo family!

I just acquired a bunch of old rectifier tubes and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them.
The most interesting (at first glance anyway) is a USAF labeled RCA 5U4G (Not GB). I also have one Raytheon, one Tung-Sol, and two Westinghouse 5U4GB tubes. Anyone know if any of these worth my attention?

The RCA 5U4G tube should be an ST-shaped tube or coke bottle tube. The GA and GB tubes are straight-bottle tubes. I have been read that RCA made a lot of the 5U4G tubes for other brands as well. This is what AudioTubes.com says about the RCA 5U4G: This is the classic coke bottle shape (ST) rectifier tube. Great RCA tube, considered the best ever made of the "G" or ST shape 5U4 tubes, just recently has become very difficult to find and keep in stock. You can find out more about the 5U4G/GA/GB tubes at AudioTubes.com. Brent Jessee really knows his tubes.

Ahh thanks. I'll give that a bit of time in my WA6 and see how I like it. Cheers

That's just a Pelican case with their logo silkscreened on the top. Based on a really quick search, it appears to be a Pelican 1550 - $128 at B&H Photo.

The one I have is I believe the equivalent to the 1300 series, which runs around 40-45, I paid about $50 for it, since I bought some tube I didn't really mind the extra money.

Visited Jack and his father at the NYC meet on Saturday.  Got to hear my LCD-2's (as well as the HE-6's) through the WA5 and the WA22.  Also had my WA6SE there and my very recently purchased Schiit Lyr.  This was Jack's 1st chance to listen to the Lyr...he preferred the Woo.

 
Based on limited listening in a room of people, the WA5 didn't blow me away with the LCD's...but the WA22 through the 4-pin balanced connection was STUNNING.  Rich & lush yet fast & detailed.  Great dynamic punch.  Wider soundstage than my 6SE delivers.  The LCD-2's through the WA22 was a strong contender for best sound in the show IMO. 
 
It has the lush sound I've been missing from my WA6SE.  Jack thinks I can get it closer with the Sophia rectifier...may have to try that in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your impressions of the LCD-2.  I am thinking of getting a pair of these.  Was it easy to get a cable with the 4 pin balanced connection?  What cable and connection are you using?

Thanks to your incredible photography, I can start visualizing a new spot in my listening room for that drop-dead gorgeous black WA22!
