You should try a 2XEL3N to 6SN7 adapter and try it for your outputs on your WA22.
May beat the 6BL7

Wouldn't you use the 2 * EL3N with an adapter for driver tubes, AND the 6BL7's for power tubes with a WA22? I might try this combo.

Does it take two to get any sound. Because on I heard nothing?

Geez. Don't tempt me.
I need to stop. I'm getting the looks from the wife now. Maybe is 6 months time.

You know you want too 

 
Sorry, I could not resist.

Thanks mate. I heard a previous version of Glenn's OTL and I liked it. I am expecting even better amp that Glenn is building now.

Wow! You had a previous Glenn, and this is your second custom made amp? That even better! Wonderful...!

No I did not have one but heard @Punit OTL amp. I heard from Glenn that my amp will be ready this weekend so I am very excited.

Just got my 6 x 6BL7 adapter for my Elise amp. First experiment is 2 EL3N as drivers + 4 x 6BL7 and 2 x 6N7. Previously I got very good results with 6BL7 + 6N7. The 6N7 is an all metal tube from the 6N7G/6N7GT family.
 
First impression: More of everything, more authority and that old cliche - ruthlessly revealing:
 

 
Cannot think of any power tubes that give you bigger bang for the dollar..... Been listening for an hour now - gets better and better.
 
As time goes on I will try different combinations. Some tubes work in synergy; others in allergy of whatever it is called lol...... Don't know of any way to figure it out - just trial and error. (Strangely enough the related 6N7G  (too much hum) and 6N7GT(didn't sound good) with the 6BL7 did not sound as good as the neglected top hat 6N7 - seems that nobody wants tubes without glass&glow, so these tubes are easily found in the bargain bins).
 
Looked up the opposite of synergy - there is no accepted word: dysergy, antergy. I think allergy is good enough lol. Negative synergy is maybe the closest.
 
PS: If anybody is interested in how to power this or similar adapters externally without breaking the bank, I could write it up.

These tubes are rebranded like crazy.
 
Here are some pictures to help you to learn which tube you have ( mainly Syl, GE or clear top RCA).

Hi attmci,
 
You are 100% right - for some reason it seems to me that the 6BL7 is more rebranded than other tubes I have come across in relation to the major brands. I have Tung Sol 6BL7 that are labeled Tung Sol but have the tell tale GE sandblasted dots on the glass.
 
I am wondering if there were any other US manufacturers of the 6BL7 except for Sylvania, RCA and GE.

 

[attmci]

I owned a TS foil getter 6bl7 before which is very rare. But I am not sure if TS is the manufacturer.

 

[mordy]

There is a possibility that TS made that tube; perhaps later on when larger orders came in for TVs, they went to competing factories and asked them to fulfill the orders and re-branded the tubes. I remember reading that there was a lot of shifting production around between different manufacturers.
 
But I am just guessing.....

[attmci]

You are in very good mode today.

Go find some "disk" getter TS, they are great.

Built a 6BL7 amp forgot how good these things sound.
Tried two GEC 6AS7s in the amp the 6BL7s sound much better
