Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

Well, my little Woo 3 is out of timeout.  She has been brought to the office.  Since she has that static/hum, she is no longer good enough for home use.  But, since my office is loud with hums of its own, she is fine for office use.  Plus, I no longer feel ashamed to use the lineout on my laptop in fear of background noise.  It's a competent little office rig and will serve me well when things get loud or stressful. 

 
I could not help but feel for her. I'm ecstatic about her new beginnings...

...Yes, the feather-light, airy and decay trailing deep into the background vocals of Astrud Gilberto. 

Just returned from the airport run at the end of a family visit. Time to decompress with a quiet espresso, and Astrud's man João with his buddies Herbie and Antonio. Alas, I've lent the wootwo to a local Headfier to try out with his T1 in an effort to spread the joy. So, it's coming straight out of the DX.

Still, it's lovely, peaceful and relaxing.

I may look at that.  Seems like a good price.  I'm content for now using the line out, but I may add that little dac in the future.

Have you isolated the hum to your woo? I only ask because 1) I can't keep up with this most prodigious of threads and haven't been reading every page, and 2) I had background hum from my source which was painfully obvious on my woo but unnoticeable at listening levels on a hybrid amp.

 
I have not isolated the hum.  I've tried it on different outlets and in different buildings.  I've tried every tube I own.  The sound is exactly the same.  Someday, I may send it in for repair.  But, for now, since my office is very loud, I cannot hear this hiss because it is completely drowned out.  I'm content for now.

She has brought me musical enjoyment as well as starting many pleasant conversations this morning.  Several coworkers got an audition and finally heard music "as it should be."

 Wise decision on both counts - to share; music selection.

A little bit of nighttime glow from the WA2.
 
 

 

Am loving this shot... any chance for a link to a higher resolution version for use with my 1080 computer screen?

 
 
Sure, no problem. I uploaded two hi-res versions to the gallery here: http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/tcjqmbcs9xx6uu8n4qyhgqn43gpjeslx Thanks :]

Well gentlemen (and ladies), I shipped off my WA22 to its new owner today. Kinda sad to see this great amp go. It's served me very well for the past year. On a brighter note, my LF is due mid-week.

Wow. No amp! I would have made the guy wait a couple days

I've got my GS-1 w/DACT attenuator right here beside me. It drives all of my cans incredibly well...from my LCD-3s to my Westone 4s (and everything else in between).

LoL, I was just about to write that post. You are correct, no tube glow to keep me warm.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
 
By the way, how long have you been down here in AZ? I have been in a bunch of the Ibasso threads and don't remember you living down here. Just curious.

You can get a plastic piece with a guide pin that slips over the 8 pins. They have been around for a long time as the guide pin isn't all that had to break. I have a GZ34 metal base I picked up for 20 dollars, some time back. but for that I just made a mark on the base for the correct orientation. No big deal really.

So silent one, what's the verdict on now having maple isolation across the board now that it has been a few days?
