I'm feeding my WA22 with my FV today for the hell of it. ALL THE TUBES!

The issue was a cheap power strip. I changed it to a new Amazon Basics power strip and there is no hum

Just think…if you had a La Figaro 339i, dual mono configuration, you might feed it with two FVs - one per channel….

I have the same setup and I’m not convinced yet although I did here this recording last night that blew me away but nothing is broken in yet.

I've had the headphones for years so they're worked in well. I also use Matsushita 7dj8 driver tubes myself.
I just saw them last week, so they're getting a lot of playtime this week:

Wow, a close-to-short leakage seems quite bad.. I wonder if I have that in one of my input tubes also, as I’m having a similar issue with noise while moving the volume pot. I’ve thought nothing of it as it’s minor and only in the left channel, but I will switch to a fresh set of 6N1P-EV’s I have in my stash and see if it goes away.I've had no hum issues at all with mine, but when I got it the volume pot had a loud scratching sound in both channels when rotated (with no signal). I ran it back and forth quite a bit thinking maybe there was some debris or film on the pot's wipers that would go away, but it didn't help. Was vacillating on sending it back to Schiit for a look, but in the meantime I pulled the 6N1P's out to try some 6N23P's. No more scratch. In the tester, one of the 6N1P's was fine, but the other had extremely high interelement leakage...enough to be getting close to a short. Not sure why the scratching sound was of equal volume in both channels, and can't say I've ever had a bad/marginal tube manifest itself in this particular manner before. But I've done several input tube swaps since then and no further issues, so I'm blaming the tube even if I don't fully understand the why's of it. I suppose I could ask Schiit to send me a new 6N1P (or pair), but as I wouldn't use them anyway I thought it a bit petty to waste their time with it. Currently rocking some D-getter Holland Amperex 6DJ8's that sound quite wonderful. And I haven't even started adapter-ing. Yet.
I though I share a riser for my setup. Since I have limited space around my desk, I purchased a monitor riser from Amazon for $24 last night and it arrived at 5 AM this morning. It works great. I am experiencing static when I turn the volume pot. When playing music it is not notable.

Yup, noise when turning the pot is gone with the new tubes in. Looking at the stock tubes removed more closely they are one Novosibirsk 6N1P-VI from 1989 and one Voskhod 6N1P from 1976.
With that sorted, I thought I’d put some bigger boys in for a spin
The hum came back again
I should get new tubes next week. We'll see.PhilBarone

I solved it with this from Amazon. The instructions that came with mine says to possibly anticipate this happening and to add a filter.The hum came back again
