My pleasure. They're looking good! How do they sound?
WOW, looking at that list of amps and thinking about what they sounds like.... that's my idea of FUN.
I've got the WA3 and I'm making myself enjoy it for at least a year before I upgrade. But, it is so
difficult not to fantasize about what other amps sound like!! I mean, I really love the sound of this
one, so to think it gets even better is very exciting!
You mean, you've already exhausted Tube rollin' on the '3'? S-t-r-e-t-c-h that year out!

They sound fantastic. The 596 is the only tube that has matched well to the 6GL7s. The LCD3's really like the extra power that combination has over the other tubes I've rolled into the 6SE.
'Ultra'.....another happy customer! ![]()
I haven't seen any different ones :)
I'm already receiving PM's about getting a new batch of 596 tubes.... but I was actually planning a huge 2399/5998 sale soon...
Mix and match!
That's the sale I'm interested in. If the 5998-Glass goes "kaboom" or "ka-chink" I'm in BIG trouble!
Woo-woo sign me up for that one.
Hibuck...
I know the feeling
I bought two extra pair last winter for that exact same reason. couldn't sleep at night thinking i might some day have to run my WA2 without 5998's
now, almost a year later, i have these extra tubes im sure someone could be enjoying. I want to sell them, i really do, but then i'd be back where i started. worrying all the dang time about losing one of them


I have 4 and I don't even have an amp that uses them currently.
I'm finding, vacuum tube rigs could benefit from contingency planning.
