    WA5-LE tube choices

    I know this is an old thread, but can you post what tubes you have for this amp and which combinations you prefer please? I'm in the process of purchasing NOS (all boxed, date matched and electrically matched) pairs of STC 4300A's (~1958), Mullard ECC82's (~1963) and Mullard GZ34 fat base (f31).

    Apologies if this is a slightly OT, but since these are for a WA5-LE I'm hoping for some slack. I know of Dubstep Girl's rectifier thread and the Reference 6SN7 thread, but is there a dedicated 300B thread?

      I started out with the intention of just buying a basic WA7 Fireflies.  I ended up emailing Woo Audio about four times, each time changing my order. I ended up with a fully maxed WA5-LE!  Oh, and if you do go the tube/valve route - don't under estimate the price of good quality tubes.  I was...

    G"Day lojay   I see in your sig that you refer to your AVVT's as AV32B's.  Being no expert on AVVT's is this a  different tube to their 32B-SL?   Cheers - Peter

      D'Day (or G'Evening!) mate.   I'm Wellington based.  Which Woo did you go for?  Have you purchased directly from Woo Audio or through a local distributor?

    We'll here's the boxes (unopened) and the custom Hi-Fi rack, which is a blatant rip-off (NZ made from US oak), of the UK Hi-Fi Racks gear.  I hope they find imitation flattering rather than offensive, given that I'd have had to ship their product 13,000 miles!!!  The bottom two plinths are 40mm...

    I also have a pair of the Tung-Sol 6F8G's (beautiful - pure tube porn!) and I'm waiting on the Woo Audio 6SN7 - > 6F8G Teflon adapters.   I purchased the standard (plate) EML 300B's as after a lot of research I believe that the bass characteristics will (hopefully) appeal to me.  I'm very...

      I've a WA5-LE (maxed) that's been sitting in it's boxes by my desk for the last couple of months, pending the completion of a home office reorganisation.  And waiting for a local joinery company to build me a custom american oak hi-fi stand!   So being a fellow owner, your comments are...
