Jay, those are some of the sweetest cups I have ever laid my eyes on!
 
Congrats big time.
 
Can't wait for you to tell about the sound and compare them to the 325e

  I received the 6F8G adapters for the WA6 from Glenn this afternoon, so figured I'd post some photos of them with the 596 warming up for tonights listening session with the RS-1i's. They're a bit blurry, but they'll do. 
 

 

 

Very nice, Joseph.
 
I have just bought some 6F8G's myself....but they have not arrived yet.
 
Can't wait to hear your impressions

Thank you!
I didn't know you had the WA6…or does the MAD/LD-1+ accept them also (don't see the WA6 in your profile)?
Did you purchase adapters from Glenn?

No, I do not own a WA6
 
I am still waiting for my custom OTL from Glenn....but I have been purchasing some tubes while I wait, so I will have plenty of tube rolling options from the word go.
 
I am correct in thinking those are National union 6FG8 ?
 
Yeah, Glenn will be sending me an adapter with my amp.
 
Looking forward to your impressions with this set up

just first impressions of course,most everyone is probably aware of how most say the 325e is super, well, if funds are a little tighter, you won't be missing out on very much by getting the 225e
VERY impressed right from the get go !

i'd sure like to hook up my 225 to your wa6, they'd be quite the stunning pair !

You can do it.....when you are done listening to them.....lock them up in a home safe....away from yourself
