Hi, Have been modding WA6. Now have the first cap after rectifier as 30uf Mundorf. After modding I have about 100V to 105V going to plates of driver tubes. I forgot to measure before modding, so not sure if it's too low or too high. But the amp has been sounding alright with no distortion...- torara

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Hi, I have been lurking around the forum for a while and must thank all of you for such a valuable info. I own wa6, it came with stock 6dr7. I later upgraded to 6sn7 with adapter from woo. 6sn7 gives a lot more detail across all range from treble to bass, but the 6dr7 has more gain. I use...- torara

The NEW Headphone Lounge Thread
Hi, Looking for new cable for hd600. Looked at headphone lounge website and saw there are 3 types of copper cables. 1. Pure copper, 2. SPC and 3. Hybrid copper tin. Do you know what are differences among 3 types in term of sound? Or should I bite my wallet and just go for the silver? My...- torara

6SN7 Tube Addicts
Hi, I'm quite new to 6SN7 and recently bought a pair of used Tungsol 6SN7GTB black pate with D getter. After turned the tube on for about an hour I noticed one tube developing some sort of fog in side (bottom right). Wondering if this fog could be a sign of this tube losing its vacuum? ...- torara

I guess I will put Sophia in drawer until I change the 1st cap to 4 or 10 uf. Can I use non-polar cap for this? Like the cap the use in speaker cross over. Or this is limited to polarized cap? Any recommendation on the brand I should use for this?- torara

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Hi, I have recently committed myself to a WA6, and new to tube rolling in this amp. The amp came stock with Chinese 274b and 6dr7, and I guess there is a lot of potential to be explored with other tubes. Rectifier tubes are fairly well explained but I am confused with tube adapters for 6sn7...- torara

Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
Hi Audiofanboy, Yes the 6n1p works as power tube on mkii. Initially i thought that it sounded smooth will slikier highs, clearer presentation than the 6n6p. But after a while of listening the effect was actually 6n1p not having enough power to drive grado 225i. It sounded ok when the volume...- torara
