This is a silver Woo Audio WA-5 with all upgrades done including teflon sockets. I purchased this amplifier around 2012 from a user on head-fi and it's by far the most amazing headphone amp I've ever owned. Honestly, with a good DAC feeding it, nothing comes even remotely close. If you have very high end cans and love absolutely perfect tube sound, you can't do any better than the WA-5. 
I'm currently running it with JJ Electronic T-300B, Electro-harmonix 6SN7 and JJ Electronic 54U4GB, which I've found to be the best sounding combination. If you pay asking I will also include a pair of USAF-596 and a separate pair of 54U4GB for tube rolling. I'll also include a single Sophia Electric Royal Princess 300B tube; I had two and they sounded great but the other one was damaged.
This amp was serviced by John Wu himself in 2017 and has operated flawlessly since. It has a fair amount of surface wear and a number of deep scratches so please look over the pictures carefully before making an offer. I still have the original custom-made crates and will ship this unit to you in them.
The most amazing thing to me about this tube amp is that it's so OP it can actually drive my floor standing B&W 803Ds at listening volume! Of course, it will also drive K1000s and other hard-to-drive headphones.
I hate to part with this unique and beautiful piece of craftsmanship with it but I desperately need to downsize my head-fi gear collection. :)

Questions for the seller
Hi! I was wondering if by all upgrades that also included the internal caps. Thanks. Eric
I believe so but to be absolutely sure I can take the cover off and add some pictures of the innards — would you be able to tell the upgraded caps from pictures?
For the first generation WA5 I believe the upgrade is VCAPS. Should be easy to determine by taking off the bottom. Looking forward to a photo or 2. Thx.
It won't let me add pics to the listing, so I've just uploaded them here: http://www.baggett.org/WA5 It does appear that all the caps are upgraded -- VCap closeup here: http://www.baggett.org/WA5/D7A_0583.jpg
