Is this like the biggest headphone amp or is there bigger? It's like close to size of a speaker amp.

It is a big amp but it may not be the biggest, certainly the biggest I owned. It is beautiful though.

It sits on my 4 level rack at the top level/shelf.

Which tubes give a more solid state sound? I had the ZMF Pendant which was close in sound(less tube) to ss.
Do the stock tubes give a warm sound?

Here’s my setup.

Does anyone have experience with both, the EML 2A3 S & KR 2A3 signature differences?

 

[Bonddam]

I'm surprised that the internals don't melt from the high temp. Is this amp just one big heat sink? It's a little nerve racking that something could fail down the road from the heat.

 

[F208Frank]

Yeah it gets hot like that, I get little worried myself, but I figure for such an expensive item, they must have had it figured out... hope Woo Audio can chime in!

 

[Bonddam]

Can you live with just upgrading the power tubes or is it better to start at one of the others? I'd be buying from Woo to be covered under warranty.

Most of the heat you feel are from the tubes. You know, there are 9 of them. I stand pretty close to my WA33 in a well ventilated room and it never bothered me.

I'm talking about the heat on both cases. No concern with tube heat. I know the heat will transfer from tubes to amp.

Hey guys one power tube has blue looking gas at the top is this normal?

Is the tube glass itself starting to look cloudy or hazy? That usually means leakage.

Just joined WA33 club. I had too sell a lot of my toys but well worth it.

Congrats. Understand if you need more time, but any thoughts on how much of a step up, and or just plain different it is from the GSX Mini? I'm pretty settled on a SS amp, but I keep revisiting this amp regardless lol

I enjoy the WA33 more then the mini. I'm a man of few words. I like that it's powerful, great sound stage wide imaging is awesome bass on the 1266 tc is better. There's a lot to love. Anyways the mini was sold. I'm keeping the Formula S triple stack and WA33.
