    Woo Audio WA3 Impressions and Tube-Rolling

    For 6080/6AS7G OTL cathode follower amps, like the WA3, output impedance is roughly 1/transconductance for a cathode follower. That puts the 6AS7 with transconductance of 7000micromhos at about 142ohms. Changing the tube to a 5998 with transconductance around 14000 gets you down to 72 ohms. Even...

    Woo Audio WA3 Impressions and Tube-Rolling

    They are definitely hard to find. That’s pretty much all I run in mine these days. Sounds similar to a 5998 or 421A.

    DC Area Meet - April 7th hosted by Gramophone Impressions

    I was not a fan of the Sonoma either. Did not like the sound and they were uncomfortable...thick I think is a good description. As for the Yggys, I can only say that I liked the coax input better than the fiber.

    DC Area Head-Fi Meet - Capital Audio Fest 2017 - Nov 5, 2017

    It's a sign of the times. Most of the systems / rooms were set up poorly imho. It's hard to imagine high end systems like these sounding bad. Props to Synergistic Research, Odyssey Audio, and Bricasti for being on their best game - I thought they shamed the competition. I love Zu, but I thought...

    DC Area Head-Fi Meet and End-of-Summer SchiitStorm! - August 12, 2017 - Gaithersburg, Maryland! - IMPRESSIONS

    Really good meet / venue. I was impressed with the large number of high quality setups. I was also suprised to see quite a large array of tube offerings. Loved the sound of both the Eddie Current amps and the ZOTLs, as well at the Audio GD. It's always fun to see new DIY amps too....I've got to...

    For 6AS7G tube rollers here .....

    I'd say it is similar in sound to a sylvania 7236. Visually, it looks the same as the 6AS7GA.
