Finally received all my upgrades for my WA2. Input tubes and power tubes upgraded. Using stock Tesla EZ80.

 

To me, the Phillips JAN 6922 gave music much more punch and 'presence' than standard Counterpoint ECC88.

Burning in NOS Svetlana 6N13S\6H13C tubes just received from Ukraine now. 

 

Nothing geekier than taking a picture of a tube amp using a DSLR while wearing T1. :)

I wanted to maximise the wa2 with my t1 and ive read almost a thousand page of all t1/wa2 tube rolling thread lol.

 

Since im buying the tubes from beloved EBAY, heres my choices based on the reviews.

 

Am i doing it right? :D

driver: siemens e88cc......ive only heard this because macedonianhero mention this will be better than the mullard...again not too sure

Hey all,

I new to the head-fi community, I recently purchased a WA2 to pair with my T1s. My question is what is the best rectifier tubes for that setup? I mostly listen to rock, synthpop, indiepop, electronica and trance. Is it even worth getting new rectifiers? Or are the stock tubes good enough? Thanks for all the replies in advance.

@ MacedonianHero Sure you're not thinking about rectifying the WA22, not the WA2?

Oops...sorry. Seeing things in my old age.

 

In that case, EZ80 Telefunken or Mullard are the best way to go.

As much enthusiasm as you have for gear, you're not old, just year challenged :-)

Absolutely, we're kids at heart, or we'd be smart enough to be happy with what gear we have instead of keeping up with the new goodies!

 

Ok, so maybe I wouldn't be smart
