...but I'm not really big on beer anymore unless it fits with a certain meal like Mexican or BBQ, maybe a burger. I wonder what kind of Dutch food goes best with beer?
 
After the hunt...there's always the coffeehouses

Since I don't eat meat, I was saved by their seafood offerings which look enticing! And if that wasn't enough... "If you need special diets or other requests, please let us know, we can cook your desire."  Ok, I'm in - Woo Audio Owner Unite meeting in AMS - 2012!

In speaking with our fellow head-fier, are Woo Audio amps represented around Amsterdam?

When you buy them from Jack Woo, he warranties them for a year.  I have blown two EML's; one a month in and another about 4 months in and he got them replaced at no additional charge.
 
 

I purchased both of my EML Mesh 5U4G from Jack @ from Woo Audio. The original is 10 months old with no issues. The other is a spare. I also got my Shuguang Treasures and two pair of Sylvania 7236 from him. Good people to deal with!

Guys, I know many of you have the Wyred4sound DAC-2 nad love it , that includes me, but recently I've got some funds freed up, I was thinking of upgrading my rig, and I would like to start with the source, So any of you experienced DAC-2 and other dacs would prefer em over DAC-2? I was having the PWD in mind given its current price, The audio gd-7 dac seemes nice too. 
 
Thanks

I was able to borrow a pair or Osram B65 to use in my WA22, and they sound AWESOME with the LCD-2.  Best I have heard the LCD-2 sound with the WA22.  Now I want a pair, which is really unfortunate, since they are so bloody expensive!

Where does it say Jack sells EML tubes on his site? All of his upgrade/separate purchase packages are specifically from other providers. Does he just have a ton of different tubes laying around that you can ask about and buy whenever?

Hello, I didn't ever see on Jack's site EML tubes on sale! Here in Europe there is an excellen German seller that offers a guarantee of 12 months (or 2,000 hours) so I think I will buy my EML 5U4G mesh plate from him to replace my Sophia Princess on my WA22. In your opinion EML is better than Sophia on WA22?

You have to email Jack directly on the EML tubes.

I still prefer the Leben with the LCD-2, but it's clear you can tube-roll the WA22 to make it very good with the LCD-2.

Jac van de Walle is not just a retailer but also a developer/designer of EML tubes.
He's first class to deal with and you can learn lots from him.

I have both EML 5U4G and a Sophia for my WA6. Both are excellent, I can't say that one is better than the other, they are just different. EML is more intimate, while Sophia keeps everything at an arm's length. It really comes down to which presentation you like more.

I enjoyed both rectifiers with my WA 6 Special Edition. However, I found the Sophia had a slightly bigger presentation and a touch more down low. And the EML Glass had slightly better focus, returned  greater detail and brought intimacy to the music. I prefer the EML Glass without question! As heard inside my listening room, mind you...
