Woo Audio WA6

[Zing]

Finally! FINALLY! I got my shipment notification. :eusa-clap:

 

[Rope]

:banana-gotpics: YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Where's it ship from?

Rope

 

[Zing]

They're built in New York so it shouldn't take more than a day to arrive. But if I read that email correctly, it's shipping tomorrow. Which means it's going to sit in some stupid ass UPS terminal all weekend and I won't see it until Monday. :angry-banghead:

 

[Rope]

If you're in Tittsburgh and Woo ships tonight, it maybe their tomorrow.

Rope

 

[Zing]

I'm 3 hours north. And I think it's not actually shipping until tomorrow. I'm guessing they have it boxed, labeled (with tracking number) and waiting for the shipper to be notified of the request so they can pick it up.

 

[GreatDane]

It'll go to Chicago first, then Kentucky than head North...isn't that how they normally work it.

Are you going to tube roll?

 

[Zing]

Dammit! I hate it when I'm right! :angry-cussingblack:

It just got picked up. They don't even have an estimated delivery date yet. So by the time I get my hands on this thing, I will have waited FIVE weeks! :angry-cussingblack: :angry-cussingblack: This thing better be impressive or it's going back.


Tube roll? Is that some kind of pastry?

 

[PaulyT]

Tube roll? Is that some kind of pastry?

Nah, that's the quick and cheap process by which the owner of a tube amp selects, purchases, and compares multiple different tubes/brands for each type of tube in the amp.

 

[Zing]

Cheap? I see upgrade tubes going for $150-$400. I guess I just assumed that was like spending $400 on an upgraded power cable.

I'm not expecting miracles with this thing. As I recently told Flint, I'll be happy if I hear a difference. I'll be ecstatic if I hear an improvement. If I don't hear either, it's going back.

 

[Aaron German]

You can't send it back until you have tried at least 5 different tube combinations. I think you agreed to that when you clicked the check mark on the buyer's agreement.

 

[Rope]

I'm not absolutely positive, but I think tube rolling has something to do with the tube manufactures rolling you over and taking all your geeza. :scared-yipes:

compared to what amp?

 

[Zing]

Compared to using the headphone connection on my Integra processor.

Five friggin weeks of anticipation...

[Zing]

Ding Dong! FedEx calling! :eusa-clap:



Damn! This thing is a TANK! Who knew 13 lbs was so heavy? I can't wait to fire this bad boy up!

 

[Zing]

 

[Yesfan70]

Whoa! That thing sure is purtty. :eusa-whistle:

 

[GreatDane]

Beautiful!

[Flint]

If nothing else, it photographs well.

Did you buy a shallow super-model or a genius sounding audio device?
