The Woo Audio WA2 (OTL Design) is a handcrafted, Class-A, all-tube single-ended triode headphone amplifier built with an output transformerless (OTL) circuit and point-to-point wiring. It is designed for high-impedance headphones, uses a tube complement of two 6080 power tubes, two 6922 driver tubes, and two 6CA4 rectifier tubes, and features a 1/4" headphone output, four RCA inputs, and an anodized aluminum chassis available in black or silver. The WA2 is designed and assembled in New York, USA, and is offered with a 3-year limited warranty.
