Thanks again. I will try tonight

Also, people say to leave one hand in your pocket when you are still worried that it is not drained, so you can't ground your hands and have a deadly current pass across your chest.

Oh, I was feeling confident up to that point! Is there no way to test the socket to see if there is current there?

That was meant to reassure you that if you didn't believe them you could leave a hand in your pocket. Not to scare you.

That's OK, it's all good

Thanks for your advice, it was appreciated, and I did put my hand in my pocket just in case.

I have now adjusted the socket springs and the tube is a lot tighter, and I didn't hear any crackling or tube rush on start-up. I hope that is now fixed

Any clue to what kind of transformer the WA6 uses?

Does anyone know if the WA6 PDPS mod actually increases the power ouput of the amp? Thanks.

It is a toroid for the power supply but who makes it I don't know. For the output transformers I don't know.

I don't think that the measured power would be increased but the perceived does as you have a much better supply to each tube and therefore you have better dynamics due to the reserve for each tube being increased substantially. This would help with louder passages and clipping would be less of a problem but the volume from my 6 is more than enough, even on demanding passages.

Jamato8, I was thinking of adding pre-amp outputs to the Woo Audio WA6. Do you think this could negatively effect the headphone section of the amp?

Is the maxxed upgrade really worth for $450? If not, what is the budget upgrade I should ask Jack to put/change in my WA6SE to make it sound better?
