Horrible?, Don't think so, sorry.....Must have been something else in your chain...How much did you drop on the total of tubes? I have all the tubes you listed, but for now 2x Tungsram EZ-80, 2x Tesla ECC88 and the stock GE power x2. Tube rolling makes a difference, but not night and day. So, in the head-fi tradition, I respectfully disagree. My WA2 has never sounded horrible.
Should have said sounded horrible compared to my WA6SE with Sophia princess 274B. I don't have much in the chain, just RWA imod to Alo imod dock to amp via whiplash twag RCA to RCA. Headphones are either hd650 with twag ref x or hd800 with apuresound v3. As for how much for the tubes, I was able to score the TS 5998s for 140$ quad matched, so $35 a tube. I got the ez80 for $10 each. And I think it was a price mistake as somebody listed a buy it now on eBay for the 6922 for 18$ for the pair so $9 each for the 6922. I saw some of those go for around 80-90$ matched pair. Also I thought swapping out the stock GE power tubes made the most difference. Even when I swapped them to a pair of Westinghouse 6080.
