What kinds of improvements did you guys hear after your WA22s broke in?
It does takes a certain amount of usage time or burn-in for tubes amps to lose their brittle sound and develop their beautiful "warm tone" mine seen to take about maybe 2 months I do listen most everyday 3-5 hours. What I noticed is my amp really opened up in a very big way the improvements in sq were so noticeably better I could tell right away. But keep in mind that's just my opinion others will say something like "10% of perceived improvement over a long period is real, 90% is imagined". I personally don't believe that to be true..Enjoy
Yeah brittle is a perfect word to describe how it sounds right now. Even so, I'm floored with the Mojo/WA22 combo. The Sophia rectifier definitely smooths things out a little, as well as widens the sound stage over the stock Psvane. However the Psvane is definitely a little more bassy(which I likes..). I'll be swapping those two back and forth during the break-in period, but I can already tell I'm in "end-game good" territory even before I move on to a couple more tube rolls. This amp is ridiculously great sounding with the LCD-Xs. As future DAC technology progresses, I'll maybe upgrade that, but the WA22 stays.
Generally out the 3 I found the biggest change/improvement with the power tube, followed by the rectifier, and last the drivers. While the sophia has the pretties lights

Which power tubes are you using and what kinds of changes or improvements did you hear? Oh and yeah the sophia is absolutely gorgeous at night.

I like using the ecc35's (favorites), I also really enjoy the ecc31's.. The details in my music are so much better it's noticeable different you really need to try them for your self to understand, you won't go back to what ever driver tube your using..Enjoy
I'm settled with ts5998 that gives me a more euphoric bass with more weight and body for my hd800 and he6. I prefer this over the 7236 which has tighter bass, and the we421a which I find nice smooth sounding but a tad less transparent and less bass impact than the 5998.
