With the combo below, my Grado RS325is is finally singing...   Western Electric 422-A   Sylvania 6EW7

Thanks DG, I was also advised by Glenn not to do it. I guess I'll have to live with it. Its quite annoying though.

Here's the photo of the pins. As you can see, the cables are not aligned with the guide pin. The easiest way I could think of is to get rid of that guide pin. But I'm not sure if its a good idea.

Got 5pcs set of GE 6FD7 fat bottle matched from ebay for less than $25 with shipping. Also my mighty 596 with adapter from glenn arrived today, used from another head-fier. The problem is the that it was used with WA5LE. So when installed with WA6-SE, the tube tends to face a different...

I have just put the Shuguang back in to see if it gets hot. 

You're not alone on the WA6-SE + LCD-2 combo my friend! :) One question guys, does your amp gets hot when you use 6FD7? I noticed mine gets hot even the volume knob when i tried the GZ34+6FD7 combo. Is it normal?

Thanks bbophead & Dubstep Girl for the tips. My new tubes and dampers finally came! Yay!! I'm currently listening with GE 6FD7 (fat) + Philips GZ34 Metal Base on and wow! I never thought I've been missing this much from the stock tubes (especially from Shuguang rectifier). What a huge improvement.

Hi guys! I have the mighty 596 and GZ34 metal base coming in the mail in a couple of days. My first serious upgrade tubes. Can anyone recommend power/driver tubes to pair with these rectifiers? I listen to indie rock and post rock lately and I'm a sucker for bass. My cans are LCD2 and Grado...

Here's the back side of my amp...      

Hi, what are your impressions with GE 6FD7 fat bottle? Is it comparable to Sylvania or RCA? Thanks!

I'm finally able to post a photo. Meet my WA6SE! Nothing fancy, just stock tubes for now. I thought I'd post one to keep thread burning. Will try post more soon.   Happy viewing!   

Same here, can't upload photos. Inserting a link using bbcode doesn't work either.

Thanks for the warm welcome Frank! Since you've mentioned it, I'd like to ask anyone who has 6FD7. I've seen photos of a regular (slim I suppose) and a fat tube, which one is better? TIA.

I'm getting the same message when I try to insert an image. Using the BB code doesn't work either. Does it something to do with being a new member? Please help. Thank you.

I'm using it with LCD-2 rev 1 as write this. I also have Grado 325is. I'm eyeing on the SP247B+6FD7 combo but that will have to wait for a while. My wallet is still hurting.  Would love to get the mighty 596, but it's almost impossible to find.

New owner of WA6SE checking in… A christmas present to self, and still in the burn-in stage with the stock tubes. (or should I say, still saving up for tube upgrade)    Btw, I’m new here and this is my first post. Too bad I can't post pics. Probably due to some restrictions on new members. Oh...
