It is an excellent amp, Have had mine for 3 months and i love it! for the price you really can't beat it!
I use Brimar 5r4 (or Brimar U52) and Tung Sol 6f8g (or 6c8g) and can't get any better IMO with this amp
My HD700 sound wonderful with it
You will love it

I assume Brimar 5r4 and Tung Sol 8f8g are endgame? Where to buy?
 
Do I need a adapter for that?

I really enjoy the 5r4, but I just ordered a fat bottle GZ37. I also like the u52. As for the 6F8 it's pretty much end game for me. The best drivers I've used. And I like the ts. As for an adapter yes you will need it for them. But 2359glenn can take care of you.
Below is a review of all the 6f8gs

Always great information that I can enjoy here. I have been using a combo of 596 and 6FD8 for a while and am ready to try a different set. I pm Glenn for 6f8g adapters for Wa6..would like to test it out with brimar 5z4. Some said it is a bit noisy with 596 but I may not hear the (cause I am not a audiophile..haha). Been wanting to get my hands on 6f8g tubes and I am almost ready....... diapers and formula basically blitzed me for a while...

Hello from Sydney Australia!

Just bought my first tube amp (WA6) to pair with my beautiful ClearAudio Concept TT :) Decided to go with the EL-8s, Sophia Princess and the 6GL7s from Woo.

So far been chilling to my favourite Zeppelin and Floyd LPs, and also gone to my BB King and Stevie Ray standards. Very impressed so far. I also just went through the new "Infinite" Doors box set which is just unreal. Mr Morrsions vocals have never sounded so hauntingly clear and powerful (like he is in the room with me!)

It's 3AM and I've been going 3 hours straight haha still time for some Steely Dan....

Thanks. To be honest I was thinking I made the wrong choice by not going for the SE...but I think for my relatively low impedance cans the WA is fine.

Can I ask what is the biggest difference sonically between the 6SN7GT and 6GL7s? Also can tubes actually impact how loud the AMP can go?

Fat bottle! I've been looking for one, have only found skinny ones though. If you decide to move on from it, let me know :wink:

The WA6 is an excellent amp…you didn't make any mistake by not getting the SE.
The WA6 has more tube rolling options than the SE. Now… do your self a favor and with the money you saved buying the WA6, order a Brimar 5Z4G rectifier tube and NU-6F8G drive/power tubes and let us know if you think you made a mistake. You'll need an adapter for the 6F8G's which I recommend purchasing from @2359glenn

Good advice. 
 
Will look into it when I have more funds as I already bought the Sophia Princess and 6GL7s. I already bought 2 adapters from Woo for these, would I need another adapter for the 6F8G's?

Yes, you would need 6DE7>6F8G adapters which I recommend purchasing from @2359glenn . When your ready just send him a PM.
