It differs from the highly acclaimed WA5 only in that it is a dedicated headphone amplifier and cannot be used to drive loudspeakers. In all other respects, WA5-LE is identical to the WA5 and offers the same captivating sound quality. WA5-LE is designed around the audiophiles' favorite 300B vacuum tube. This tube provides exceptional transparency allowing the listener to experience music close to a live performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpdated to 2nd generation in August 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTubes: 6SN7 driver x 2, 300B power x 2, 5U4G rectifier x 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube sockets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-ended Triode, Class-A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransformer-coupled, Point-to-Point wiring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePseudo-dual power supply, dual chassis design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUser selectable HI\/LO headphone POWER\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUser selectable HI\/LO headphone IMPEDANCE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUser selectable HI\/LO headphone LEVEL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR input x 1, RCA input x 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4-pin XLR and 1\/4\" (6.3mm) stereo headphone outputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALPS smooth potentiometer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnodized aluminum chassis, available in black or silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild - Standard build, With premium parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-biasing with compatible tubes [\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1DdsZyTx3CJv9_cG9kVdCGZap-AldiTsvuY4Ms1K_p3k\/pubhtml\" target=\"_blank\"\u003echart\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlobal voltage (100v–240v) without a converter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions (with tube \u0026amp; clearance for ventilation): Amplifier: 12\"(H), 9\"(W), 17\"(D) 35 lbs., Power supply unit: 12\"(H), 9\"(W), 17\"(D) 35 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and assembled in New York, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree-year limited warranty [\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wooaudio.com\/faq\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elearn more\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Audiophile-grade premium internal parts upgrade adds the following for $1250. *Available only at the time of original build.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMundorf MCap Supreme Silver\/Gold input coupling caps.
