Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
So I just finished the several month waiting period for a few new things I thought I would share. I managed to get a set of 6SN7 adapters from Glenn for the WA6SE. I then managed to procure some Ken Rad 6SN7 VT231 NOS tubes from 1945 along with a Norne Audio Solv X cable for my LCD's. The latter...- illy2k

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Yeah I think Jack has a specified sound he likes and so that is how he rates the tubes he recommends. I asked Mike from woo about tubes he recommended for a certain sound signature and his main response was for me to change my cable. I just scoured ebay and bought as many as I could to fool with.- illy2k

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
No worries I saw you were asking about better rectifiers then the Sophia for your needs. I am in the same boat, I have several new drivers on the way. People recommended the 6FD7 that you can get directly from Woo as a decent switch to the even the upgraded 6EM7's. I got a few different...- illy2k

Review by 'illy2k' on item 'Cypher Labs Theorem 720 DAC Headphone Amplifier'
So this will be a short and sweet review of the Theorem 720 of which I had for about 30 days and then had to return to Cypher Labs. My primary use for this device was to have something for listening to ALAC from my iPhone when I was at work or on the go. I was primarily feeding the output to my...- illy2k

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
I would take a look here: I used this as a starting point, note some rectifiers require adaptors to be compatible with WA6SE.- illy2k

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
So the 6SN7's and the 6F8G's are out because of lack of adapters and support from Jack. I got the princess rectifier and the upgraded 6GL7 drivers, any ideas on others to try or are these pretty much top of the heap?- illy2k

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Yeah I looked around and found your posts and the adapters you sold yours. I contacted Glenn to see if he could give me some info on them. Is it better to just give up on those tubes? Those Tung-Sol's you had at the beginning of this thread looked tasty.- illy2k

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
So I was looking at the beginning of this thread and I noticed that some people were running 6SN7 and 6F8G tubes on their wa6/wa6se. I did some digging and even though they are not on the "supported" tubes list from Jack, I had seen that adapters had been made to limit the power being received...- illy2k

ultrasone edition 9 vs edition 8
The other nice thing was that my edition 8's came with a warranty card which allowed me to extend the warranty to 5 years which is pretty amazing I think. I would think it is included in all the boxes.- illy2k

"No. If it ain't broke... it should remain not fixed. Or something." definitely find this to be true. I enjoy my 650's the way they are. Maybe a cable "upgrade" but no mods.- illy2k
