It may be unparalleled among the products in the marketplace now and represents a phenomenal value. Iron-Fisted Control of Any HeadphoneOne of the highlights of the year. Its quiet beyond the normal noise floor, lifelike musically, soldered by hand, very nicely designed, and fairly priced, notes Matej Isak in a December 2010 review at MonoAndStereo.com. [The WA2] has iron-fisted control of any headphone I throw at it, and most importantly – it communicates with me and my emotions, marvels xenithon at head-fi.org. Meticulously Made Inside and OutThe WA2 is a high quality, meticulously made product inside and out that uses point-to-point wiring throughout its construction. It uses a premium 120-watt toroidal power transformer for quiet, dependable operation with an individual filter choke and rectifier per channel. An Alps potentiometer and power switch plus silver plated Teflon wires add to the performance. The casework boasts an aluminum die-cast chassis with an anodized finish along with aluminum volume knobs and power switch button. For smooth, rich audiophile performance, you cant beat the sound of vacuum tubes. The WA2s tube complement consists of two 6AS7/6080 power tubes, two 6922/6DJ8 drive tubes, and two EZ80 rectification tubes. The Connectivity You NeedYou get the connectivity you need with your Woo.
