I think WA6 SE sounds very good with 6EW7 clear top, better than 6DE7s including my 60's RCA 6DE7, RCA 6EW7, and GE 6EW7 fat bottle.

Are you referring to the Sylvania or Raytheon 6EW7 clear top, fat bottle tubes compared to your RCAs and GEs???

If so, they do seem to have greater resolution in the mids and highs, with slightly less bass emphasis. Very airy and open with lots of detail.

I am sorry if they still have it or not. I believe that I ordered everything they got which are 4 pairs of Tung Sol 6DE7.

Sorry. I was being little greedy, and since it was rather difficult to find, I wanted to have some extra stocks for future.

I have one pair of Raytheon and one pair of Westinghouse. No idea who made for Westinghouse, but it sounds better than Raytheon's. You're absolutely right, the clear top 6EW7 has got loads of detail and sweet mids. Since I'm using Edition 9, the bass is just about right. I prefer them to all the 6DE7s and non-clear top 6EW7s I've got.

I am definitely preferring the 6EW7s with the GS1000s. They seem to balance the bass better with the mids and highs than do the 6DE7s.

Where are you guys finding the 6DE7 and 6EW7 tubes? I find most of the normal outlets don't carry them.

On the Bay and other online vendors such as Tubedepot and Tubeworld.

I got mine from thetubestore.com. You need to call them and ask what brands they have in stock. make sure they have 2 or more of the same brand and of the same vintage

Are the 6EW7s a direct replacement to the 6DE7s or do you need adapters to use them?

No adapter needed with the 6 SE or the newer Standard 6 with the larger cutouts

The older WA6 can take the thin RCA 6ew7 without an adaptor.

Yes, RCA made some. They are ok but nothing special to my ear.
