You have the Wa2 im addition to your MZ3 right?

Yes. I do prefer the WA2 over the MZ3 for the high-impedance h/p in the ‘stable’. The MZ3 is ‘SOTA’ to my ears for low-impedance h/p. The low output impedance of the MZ3 creates a high ‘damping factor’ and ‘throttles’ a bit the high-impedance h/p. With the WA2, those h/p ‘blossom’.

Sweet!

What output tube is that in the Woo? Seems to have sprouted a couple hairs.

On the silver WA6 to the side, the rectifier is a USAF 596 on a Woo adapter (596 => 5U4). Here is a closer picture:

Ahhh... Didn't know that was a rectifier. Looks cool, and I love the caps....very robust yet elegant looking.

That Woo adapter base comes with the ‘antennae’ and the caps. Between these, the 6SN7 => 6DE7, and 7N7 => 6SN7, Woo Audio has bowled me over with the quality and appearance of their adapters.

What adapter, if any, do you use for that IPA tube…?

What old dude? The equipment is great, the setup is functional. Music & family - when those are OK, life is better than OK…
