oh i would of gone for the RFT EZ80 online, they're like $25 and some of the best rectifiers. as for drivers, any of the amperex are good. the orange globes, the bugle boys, and if you got the money, the PQ whites.

Welcome  to the club!  I'm enjoying mine...

Thanks!
 
By the way, since Woo amps do not come with power cords, what do people use? Any preferred cords for the Woo amps? I wonder how much of a difference they can make. I've been using a cord from an old Arcam speaker amp, and also a more beefy one that came with the Burson HA-160 that I've used before.

I juse a Nordost Blue Heaven on my Woo WA5 and like it very much.

I use a WireWorld Electra in my WA5-LE and really like it. I actually use them in all my gear with the exception of my McIntosh MC601. On those I use Silver Electra.

I use Wireworld Electra on all my gear except Shindo Labs...

Hey folks,

I'm considering what my next move should be and could use your experience.

I currently own a WA6 with GZ34 rectifier and stock 6DE7 drive tubes after my 7N7's died. It's paired with an LCD-2 and I was wondering how worthwhile an upgrade to a WA7 might be, or maybe another amp in his collection not more than ~$1000.

Thanks for the help!

I think you would be better off with a WA6-SE if you felt the need to change.  That amp with the LCD-2 is outstanding.

this!

When I saw Jack Wu last week I told him that that may be their best combination - certainly for the price.

I apologize if I missed any discussion, but does anyone have experience with the Philips 5R4GYS sold by Upscale Audio?

WA7 is a great sounding amp for both low and high impedance cans. If you don't want to tube roll then the WA7 is a good choice. If you delight in tube rolling the WA6-SE will be a better choice.

How much different is the WA6-SE from the WA6 actually? I understand it has a decoupled power supply, will this help with the faint noise I hear when turning the power on my WA6 past 11 o'clock?
Also, if I were to sell the WA6, what is the going rate, and how exactly would I ship this heavy monster?

 

[koiloco]

Hugeeee difference to my ear. The SE is much more versatile at driving a variety of HPs well. Quite a bit more power, too.
