What sillysally said... I have a modded 6SE and it sounds phat after a couple of minutes. I actually don't notice a difference between 10 minutes warm-up and three hours. YMMV Hmmm...I need to spend some time with my just arrived Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" LP today...

Everything is broken in and sounding fantastic!

Well, I've seen quite a bit here about various tubes with the WA22, so I though it might be good to have a thread for us WA6 owners. Here's what I can give you with my upgraded WA6SE, k701, and vinyl as a source: First, I'll start with the power tubes, all 6EW7. Raytheon: These were...

Take a look at Welcome to Mapletree Audio Design Give Lloyd a call and tell him what you need; I suspect he can build it for a reasonable price.,
