Are those WE 300B current productions?
Yes.Are those WE 300B current productions?
Wow those look crazy. How would you describe their sound? Rich / Neutral / Detailed? I'm searching for some options to add some meat into the mid-bass.I'be been listening to the Hytron VT-232, it's very good, up there with the Cossor.

You need 7193/CV6 to 6SN7 adapters, which you can find on eBay from "Mrs. X" for about $35 each, or @Deyan can build them for you. Be sure you're connecting the correct lead to the correct post. "A" wire goes too there anode side, "G" wire goes to the grid.Also, what are those adapters you need for the Mickey Mouse ears? I'm assuming you can't just plug these things into the 6sn7 socket?
Take a look at the Mullard CV6/VR135 with adapters. The mid-bass is insane! My amp hits so hard and full it's incredible and you can literally feel it. They have it all, detail, texture, layering, and impact with note weight that will blow your mind, and mids to die for.Wow those look crazy. How would you describe their sound?

This amp will work well with any headphone out there. I have not heard those two headphones, but I will say every headphone I have plugged into the HA300mk2 sounds it's very best.Would the HD800S and the HE1000v2 stealth work well with the HA300? I listen mostly to classic rock and blues. Thanks for the advice from experienced owners!
Drives all my phones but you know the one I haven't tried. . the HE6. I will try it today.This amp will work well with any headphone out there. I have not heard those two headphones, but I will say every headphone I have plugged into the HA300mk2 sounds it's very best.
You can tube roll for fine tuning, and you can really dial it in for any sound sig you want. I have made this amp sound like a killer SS amp, and I have also made it sound bloomy and warm, depending on the tubes I used.
For a commercially available tube amp, it's hard to beat this one. . .
Your are spot on with what you said about the GE's, and it's definitely not in your head. Rectifiers make difference, and I think they have a big impact on staging and bass the most. Just throwing this out there, the rectifiers don't have to be match so you can blend brands. I run a pair of Sicte in the back 2 slots, and a pair of Japanese made Black Plates in the front 2 slots, and I think it sounds better than any of the brands (I have them all) run as quads. The GE are really clean, with tight bass, but can be a bit too forward and thin for my preferences, but they do sound killer blended with a warmer pair like RCA, or Sylvania.Ok be gentle with the tube newbie here but are the 22DE4s supposed to make much of a difference in the sound of the amp?
I thought rectifier tubes were not supposed to make a difference. I mainly got them to have spares because they seemed a little hard to find on all the various tube stores online.
I got the GEs in, and I hear a difference. Everything sounds cleaner with more detail.
Before putting the GEs in I listened to the unit with the RCAs. Let the tubes cool down, then swapped and let the amp warm up for 30min. Obviously doing this makes it impossible to A/B test.
Still, I am perceiving a cleaner and more detailed sound.
Kinda wondering if it's all in my head.
Thanks, I saw a pair of Sylvanias on EBay. I have to go back and look at the seller rating.Your are spot on with what you said about the GE's, and it's definitely not in your head.
