Company Heritage

For over two decades, Woo Audio has been synonymous with uncompromising tube amplifier excellence that delivers reference-grade performance to discerning audiophiles worldwide. Founded in 2004 by Jack Wu alongside his father Wei-fu Wu, the family-run company has earned a sterling reputation for delivering hand-crafted, American-made amplifiers from their Brooklyn facility. The WA6 SE represents Woo Audio's commitment to superior sound through simplicity in both electronic and aesthetic design philosophies.

WA6 SE Generation 2 - The Pinnacle Performance Statement

The WA6-SE Generation 2 is the dual-chassis big brother of the acclaimed WA6, representing a significant step up in sonic performance through its independent power supply unit design. This "pinnacle version" has been recognized by Ken Rockwell as "a real, live American masterpiece," setting the standard for tube headphone amplifiers in its class. Updated to 2nd generation specifications in April 2017, this model features enhanced 13DE7 driver/power tubes for superior performance over the original 6DE7 design.

Advanced Single-Ended Triode Technology - Pure Tube Excellence

The WA6-SE employs a pure-tube design with point-to-point wiring, Class-A operation, and transformer-coupled, single-ended triode (SET) architecture. Professional-grade PTFE tube sockets ensure optimal signal transfer and long-term reliability. This all-tube approach eliminates transistors, ICs, and semiconductors entirely from the signal path, delivering the warm, organic sound that only true tube amplification can provide. The independent dual-chassis design isolates the power supply, dramatically reducing noise and improving sonic purity.

Power & Performance Specifications

Headphone Compatibility & Power Delivery: • Impedance Range: 8-600 Ohms - Universal compatibility • Output Configuration: Dual 1/4" outputs with High/Low impedance switching
• Tube Complement: Two 13DE7 driver/power + One 5U4G rectifier • Operating Class: Pure Class-A operation for maximum linearity

This powerhouse can drive most dynamic driver and planar magnetic headphones ranging from 8–600 Ohms to their full potential, delivering rich tube sound with speed and dynamics typically not found in an amplifier of this size.
