Looks like Jack's been busy, in addition to the WES, he's going to release a balanced amp:

Woo Audio 22

 

[olblueyez]

nice. I cant wait to see the price.

 

[Grimspoon]

I really love the symmetry of the double volume controls. A shame that feature is on the chopping block.

 

[Jarmel]

I really want to see how this would compare to the Zana Deux Transformer. Hopefully this comes out before the end of the summer or the release of the HD-800s which ever comes first.

 

[WittyzTH]

compatible with 274B is a must!! I hope it won't be too pricey to get one.

And I thought I was set on the WA2. Hopefully, the updated prototype is at CanJam and someone can compare the two...

 

[vcoheda]

there are impressions of this amp in the last NY meet impressions thread.

 

[Logos]

Thanks, vcoheda, I went and read those impressions. Seems like it was an earlier prototype. Still hope there is an updated prototype at CanJam though, so someone can give us a better idea of how the final design will sound.

WA22 / ZDT , Both transformer coupled . WOW can't wait for the comparisons .

I think many Head-Fiers would gladly sacrifice that for the 4-pin XLR (K1000) and 1/4" phone jack!

To be changed for production unit:

* Use one volume control instead of one per channel
* Add one 4-pin XLR output
* Add one 1/4" phone jack output (single-ended)

 

[El_Doug]

definitely a beautiful, smooth sounding amp. be on the lookout!

 

[Voltron]

Yet another advantage of going to CanJam! Maybe Jack, Zhidong, and Wei have even cooked up the next prototype for our amusement.

If you asked, Jack would probably make you a custom model.

 

[Spareribs]

One thing that I love is the thick steel plates on those higher end Woo amps. Gotta love those bullet proof designs!

Al, we will bring a production unit to CanJam. The only part we are waiting is a 4-pin connector, which will be here today. The new chassis and layout look much nicer than the prototype. I will keep you posted.
