Old pics of my 22...
 

More great shots! How do you like those GEC's? I will be rolling in some 1-watt power tubes soon, as I have my trading sights lined up on a balanced D7000. I have some GE and Raytheon 6AS7/6080's, how do the GEC's compare? Are they worth the additional premium? Looks-wise they certainly are!

So, I've been considering other options as well as the WA2 and the WA6SE. Has anybody tried Little Dot's MK VI+ or MK VIII SE at all? It has a balanced output which I real, really like.

I've heard both good and bad things... in other threads of course

Did you notice a noticeable improvement when balancing the D7000s. If so, what aspects improved?

No, I did not. This is because I was a front-runner... I ordered them new spec'd out. But for you, I'm visiting shipsupt and Clayton SF in a matter of days; both have stock D7000's. Last year, when I took my Denon's over to shipsupt's, he listened them but I do not remember his comments. Perhaps, he still does... but I'll try to answer that question next week.

Great, looking forward to your comments

The one I am hoping to get my mitts on just has the stock cable re-terminated with a 4-pin XLR, nothing fancy. But that stock cable is nothing to sneeze at. It's a little stiff but from what I understand, it uses good quality wire.

I found the same to be true with my stock D5000 - good quality cable.

If memory serves, you were going to ask Mr. Wu about one last mod to the '22'... what was it again?

I want to give it preamp capability. I know of a couple of members that have had that done, the first with two balanced outs and the other was told he could only have one. I am hoping to get one balanced and one SE out, but would be happy with a a single balanced out if it comes to that. I have already had the inputs changed, to dual balanced with no SE input.
Then I will be able to join my two systems together in blessed matrimony

I have a WA6SE being built.  Two questions:
 
1)  They said it would take 3 weeks.  It was 3 weeks yesterday.    No word yet.  How close does Woo Audio tend to hold to the deadlines they state?  I need to know whether to stock up on Xanax and beer in order to stand a long wait.
 
2)  Is the wait worth it for a WA6SE?  lol

 

[roadster-s]

It will be 3 weeks waiting for me on Monday, so wondering the same thing as you...
