Hi kchew, I am hoping to receive my WA22 next week. Am already looking to roll the tubes, saw a pair of NOS GEC U52 rectifier tube....tempted but is really expensive. Where do you go to get your tubes? I am hoping to find tall and sexy looking coke bottle type rectifier & power tubes.

Anyone using the new Stingray 2 as a headphone amp?   Just want to know if it is in the class of the Leben CS300 or the WA22.

I just placed the order for the WA22 in black.   Not doing the upgrades yet. I want to listen and burn in the stock amp before tube rolling.   I have lotsa 6SN7 tubes from my CARY SLP98 pre-amp.  Other power & rectifier tubes will be another learning process.   Quote:

Pardon my ignotance but what is the PWD?

I am a little late to the party but I should be receiving my new WA22 in 4-6 weeks ( Singapore long way from NY).   What's a matching Balanced DAC to go with the WA22?  Am using LCD2-2 with Audio-Gd NFB-10SE now.  The Audio-Gd Ref 5.2 DAC is one choice.    Please advise.
