Hey guys, for all of you as excited as I am, here's a thread just for the new king of amps :)

Since it will be introduced at RMAF in roughly 4 weeks, there probably won't be much information until then.  I will say I look forward to getting a chance to audition it.  Woo Audio's tables are always packed at RMAF and I would expect this year to be no exception and probably even more so.

Pics of the WA-234, really unique but not that attractive imo.

Quite bling bling, it reminds me of Single Power's ugly Maestro, although not as ugly. Really not my cup my tea, especially the waste of machined aluminum, it just feels strange at a time of economic downturn and mandatory thinking about environment friendly designs. Well, at least aluminum is recyclable :wink:. We'll just say I didn't get it...

I love the way it looks. Reminds me of the movie Dune.

I assume that breakout cable must be supplied; so I guess placing these next to each speaker like one would typically do with mono amps will not be possible.

Also I wonder what sonic effect said wire will have in that it is basically an extension cable added to the one already on the headphones?

I know the transformers are supposed to be cutting edge and I'm sure the chassis and multiple output tube circuits also push the cost up; But if they are 10 Large I surely hope they will have all "upgrades" already in place.

Reminds me of a miniature mono-block amp. I dont particularly dig the looks though, am more in favour of their traditional WA-5, WA-2 kind of look, but the WA-234 does look really interesting. For the price, it had better be at least arguably the best.
