We were able to extended the battery life from 3 hrs. to nearly 5 hrs. so we decided to push production back a bit to implement the changes. Current timeframe is late Jan.

mmm........I'm not a fan of the chassis. It looks off. Short and stout. Form factor of the Analog Squared Paper is better (tall and thin). But all will be forgiven if it sounds great.

It looks better in person.  Even the prototype looked like a good size and shape.  And its smaller then the A2P...

Got a chance to try WA8 yesterday but was disappointed..
 
Was looking to pair the amp with HE1000 and eventually HD800 as well.
 
WA8 could only drive the HE1000 to middle volume which i felt could be louder.
 
Do correct me if i'm wrong if any of you have the opportunity to audition one!

Not sure if the WA8 has a gain switch but do you know if it was running on 2 or 3 tubes?
 

 

[r2ymond]

I saw that all 3 tubes were lighted up :/
 
Did not dare to switch any switches accidentally as it's a pretty new unit and the store that i demo-ed at did not know much as well..

I suspect it's not switched to 3 tubes mode yet even though the tubes were warmed up. 
 
Hope someone can clarify on this!

Found a cached page (current page not loading) on Audio Advisor listing the WA8. Can't order it but lots of details, pics, and price shows $1799 for black or silver, $1899 for gold:

The prices in Singapore were mentioned a couple of days ago. Prices are in SGD and we normally pay a bit of a premium here. 
 

 

[serman005]

So, are prices more in Singapore, or the states?

 

[Ritvik]

Most gear is more expensive in Singapore. It should be a bit cheaper in the States.
