a question of noise!

I don't really know why you are bringing this up. You have one of his amps and like it, is that not enough? Fact is John Wood handled that situation very badly from a customer service point of view and had the opportunity on several occasions to put his version of events in Court and did not bother. Nor did he comply with the Court's ruling. How he handles these things is, of course, up to him, but hardly surprising that he experienced some blowback from it.

The fact that the purchaser in that particular incident auctioned the amp for charity just to be finished with the whole deal would indicate to me that his motive was not to get an amp for free, since he ended up a grand out of pocket and with nothing to show for it.

I am simply saying that for every 100 deals that go right, it is not fair to focus on the one that went wrong, it distorts the overall impression of the man and his work, as the WAM and PINK FISH threads attest to - there are plenty of recommendations for this brand. FACT!

I am bringing this up because someone needs to show the brand in a different light, as it's not all bad, as the 'WOE' thread seems to suggest! Anyone reading 'the woe' thread should NOT be put off purchasing a WOOD AMP, because of it!!

asking a question isn't bias, but taking one side without hearing the other (side) IS!

I am not suggesting that this ruling was inaccurate, I am suggesting that this post (tail of woe) is a defamation of his character.

As I already said, The relevance of the wam post is in support of his excellent products and character; & it helps build a case in his defense against this: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...-a-tale-of-woe

Have you spoken to John Wood face to face (in person) regarding these issues? (in order to evaluate his version of events or are you simply bias to the case for the prosecution with no fair hearing for the defense?), I do believe that courts can make mistakes and hang innocent victims sometimes!

This is getting like a needle stuck in its groove.

And why the hell would I want to speak to John Wood anyway?

Doc you won't even like it next week you'll be buying something else.

To me the moral of the story was, if you order a hand made valve amp and the maker strongly advises you not to have it delivered as he can't guarantee it will arrive safely, it's probably best to collect it, or get one from somewhere else.

Just to get back on topic for a moment I notice that your stepdown tx is 230v. UK mains is usually 240v+. That may not have been helping.

Hi, yes! - However the stepdown tx wasn't run directly from the UK mains, it was run from a pure sine wave regenerator that gives out a constant and stable 230v. With slightly unstable mains input of 240v +.
