I have the WA6 2nd Gen. I don't do a lot of tube rolling. BUT I am finding that there is magic in swapping tubes around regardless or pricey vs more affordable. I found that 13 FD7's Fat Bottles were lacking some power with the Sophia Princess. The 13DE7's pumped it up a bit. With a...

I have a hum in mine. I wasn't sure if I needed a power conditioner. I have the Sophia and the stock rectifier. Looking to try something else fir fun but nothing too expensive.

Before we begin, a few disclaimers. I am not an engineer, just a listener of music. I do not collect nor do I play vinyl. Yes I am aware how nice it can sound. I am far from wealthy so the stuff I buy has to be in a budget range but not cheap. I have no problems buying used equipment...

Also, (and I'm sure you know by now) it allows for tube rolling where the Valhalla 1 did not. I won't the 1. LOVE IT!

Ready to try some Fat Bottles...

So I was told that chasing sound for an amp was not the smartest route. BUT I'd say after auditioning 6 different cans I settled on the pair that is making me the happiest with my Woo Audio WA6. The Beyerdynamic 1990's are terrific. They have a bit too much high end treble on some things but...

Glad it didn't blow up! Thanks for your help on this.

Yes please. Feel free to PM me. I'll look the eBay seller up. I see a guy in Canada with a couple sets of the 13FD7's. Fat bottle, black plate side getter Again, THANKS!

Guys you rock! The woo site is a little unclear on 1st vs second and what tubes to try. I didn't see that twitch actually said that 1st gen and second gen were different but when I re-read it there it was...plain as day. Thanks for all the help and education. I have a couple types of 13's...

So I tried the 6DR7 NOS. They weren't cheap at 50 bucks. First impression they burn bright. They break up easily and not in a good way. They can't handle any level of complex music such as orchestra. They were for sure brighter and I liked that but overall a very limited tube.

It's Second Gen. Thanks!

I just ordered a pair of matched 6DR7's I'll for sure try out the 12sn7 w/adapter too as per your recommend.

Oh...and it's the second Gen..

I have the princess and NOS Sylvania 13DE7 I'd like to enjoy my sound without spending hundreds more in tube rolling. So far I upgraded to a Concero HD DAC which came today and it IS a better DAC. When the LCD 2's arrive I will give you a verdict on the Valhalla VS the WA6. I don't want to...
