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?

They've been selling for $500 - $600 dollars on eBay.  Take the tubes out, ship them separate.  Any UPS store will do a great job of packing.

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

btw ive noticed there isn't many of the older 50s grey plate like mine.
 
mine is a lighter color glass, very ghostly and ethereal in appearance, with grey plates.
 
the new ones are all darker tung sol 5998-esque plates

Yup, all your fault.

  Btw, RCA vt231 grey glass works great for HD800 on the WA22.  Raytheon is a little harsh.  Thx for the tip.

It sure does look nice! Nice weather too:D
 
I've been too busy to take daytime shots of my amp. But I guess pics in darkness would kinda work too:D Tube glow FTW:)
 
I still have all my tubes laying around on my table. I'm starting to get worried about their health so I really need to start looking for some way to store them..

Ah yes. I tried Chatham's today. I really liked the sound. I had Mullard ez80's and Orange globes along with it. I had 5998's there before chatham's and I think the sound is not so lush anymore. I think it was almost too much with 5998's.
 
Previously I tried 6dj8 A-frame amperexes there with 5998's and the sound went all dry compared to bugle boys ans orange globes.
 
Got alot more to test. Also I have to sort out my storage system somehow...

Give it a steady diet of good old tubes and you both can't go wrong. It's a workhorse, especially with those Black Gate caps. :)
