The Woo Audio WA3 is a high-end, hand-crafted tube headphone amplifier designed for superior listening experience. It features point-to-point wiring, one 6AS7/6080 power tube, and two 6922/6DJ8 driver tubes. The amplifier includes one RCA input, one pre-amplifier output, and a 1/4" stereo headphone jack. Its chassis is made from full aluminum die-cast with an anodized finish, complemented by an aluminum volume knob and power switch button. The WA3 uses an 80-watt specially made toroidal transformer, gold-pin tube sockets, gold-plated RCA connectors, Alps potentiometer and power switch, Rubycon and WIMA capacitors, Dale and Vishay high precision resistors, and Teflon wiring for optimal audio quality. It supports headphones with impedance from 30 to 600 Ohms and delivers power outputs ranging from 110mW at 32 Ohms up to 260mW at 600 Ohms. The frequency response spans 8 Hz to 100 kHz (-3dB), with a signal-to-noise ratio of 95 dB and total harmonic distortion of less than or equal to 0.08%. The amplifier operates on switchable AC voltage (110/220-240V, 50/60 Hz) and measures 6" (H) x 5.5" (W) x 13" (D), weighing 10 pounds. It is designed and assembled in New York, USA, and Woo Audio reserves the right to improve the design without notice.
