Nah! Don't bring your amp. It is not very portable. Probably a high risk of damage moving it around

When I bought the Wa22 from A2A in Melbourne, I took it with me on the tram to the city and then got on the sky bus to the airport (I had a stop over in Melbourne on the way to Auckland).  People did look at me funny as I was walking around Melbourne city with this big brown box saying Woo Audio on it.  So, when Customs at the airport asked me what was in the box, I told him its some cheap chinese made amp I picked up through gumtree.

Excellent.

The sound?
 
I remember you like the GEC6AS7G. Which I found had a neutral flavour.
I like the Mullard 6080. Which you found muddied.
 
Are the 6BL7's a neutral or warmish flavor? There is two different plate designs. What style did you grab?

The sounds interesting.
Bass way more present on hd800.
More holographic but very early in listening. (Reminds me more of the 5998s) lots more gain than 6as7!
Will say more tonight.
I have both plate designs.
I'll have to look to see which these Sylvania are, as I haven't listen to the other ones (Tung Sol.) but there are a little bit taller.

6BL7, hmmmmm interesting. 
 
Anyway, I switched the WA22 to High Impedance setting for the LCD-X and I find I prefer the sound more than the LO setting.  I need to do some more testing.  I am waiting for a friend to bring his HD650 over.  I am gonna have a good listen and maybe if it's worth it then sell the LCD-X. 
 
Also, I managed to find some Mullard ECC31 locally.  And all I can say is WoW! A definite step up in details and smoothness. Less harsh than the NU6c8g/6f8g.

Maybe I should try my LCD-X on high. One issue I can see happening is the volume. My volume rarely gets above 25% and I already find the stepped control a pain (one is too loud the other too low). This will get worst with more gain.
 
Worth a look tho.
 
Did the local supplier have another set of ECC31's?

Interesting had no idea the 6BL7's would work with the wa22 very cool..

I've known for a long time but never really got to it. If there is a good sound improvement then I will investigate.
 
I'm a bit worried about noise in my amp tho.

I hope you get it all sorted soon :)   Oh, and have the GZ30s arrive yet? Looking forward to your impressions.
Cheers.
