WA22 let's roll some tubes (Done Mod, Burnning-in)

You should love those ECC 32's. They certainly don't seem to be going any lower in price. I'll sell mine one day, but not yet.

I bought some nice Mullard ECC33. They really sound great, with nice bass. I mean awesome sound reproduction and the high gain really makes my Senn's sing. But I think they sound a bit too "solid state" for my taste.

I picked up a pair of Sylvania 6SN7W and those have slamming bass with more of the tubey sound I love.

Jimmy, I'm teasing you a bit, but when you first started posting, you were seeking budget tubes. Now you are spending bigger bucks (as I humbly suggested, in spite of some group ridicule). But, it's cool how great this WA22 can sound with the right tubes, huh?

You are moving way too fast into this tube rolling business/trap.

Teasing HAHA^^
When i changed the stock 6080 to WE421A i noticed that it sounded more open Clear and High End also needed to turn the volume up, compared to the 6080 that sounded slow and boring, but when i try different 6SN7 i do not notice much of a difference,
Comparing Sophia Princess Mesh Plate 274B to WE422A, the Sophia sounded a little bit Slow and Harsh but its hard to remember the sound signature when you have to swap them out and let the warm up before use...

Maybe, but i have been reading so many forums the past mounts so i just gotta try it my self. I really want it to sound as good as it can and i'm willing to try some expensive tubes just to see for my self if its really that good.

Just received all the new Tubes and i'm really happy ^^
The Tung Sol's 5998 is really good and great condition with no Humm that my WE421 gives...mine is not perfect i guess
The ECC32 is really good to. think i'm gonna save them for the future ^^
The 6SN7 feels a little bit slow against the ECC32
