Danska, do you like Zu mobius cable?
 


 



I do indeed. I had the pleasure of visiting Zu in Ogden, UT and I really like their products. All of their cables are great, I prefer the Mobius a great deal over the Cardas Cable I had previously. Sound is a bit better overall, and the cable is much more flexible. I got a 4.5 meter version because I needed some extra length for my listening room.

What a deal, was that with or without negotiations?
 



A little of twisting the owner's arm and a gun to his head.

  Nothing like that, I emailed the seller the lowest he wants to let it go.  He simply reply with one question, "How well you are going to treat it and will you reseller it"  I said I will treat it better than my wife

. That is how I got him to lower the asking price.
 
He loves this receiver and only sell it is to move south to retire and his hearing is getting bad.

So I'm curious what y'all would do as far as changing driver tubes on the WA6? I have a couple pairs of 6SN7s and was thinking about getting some adapters to try those out. Any other specific recommendations for someone into Jazz, female vocals, instrumental rock etc..
 
I was given a whole slew of rectifiers (5AR4, 5U4Gs, GZ32, Sophia Princess 274b), so I have some stuff to play around with there. Although I'm going to have a hard time swapping out the SP, as it is quite glorious to look at!
 
As my contribution to the Woo world, I'd be happy to pass along a Sylvania 5U4G Rectifier. I don't have a tester but I have a quad of them that appear to be NOS in original boxes. I don't need them all by any means. Please contact me if you'd like one (I ask that you cover postage).

IF you think SP is glorious, just wait til you get an EML.  It is both glorious and sound excellent.
 
On the driver tubes, try to get yourself a Tung Sol BGRP 6F8G with adapter.  It is the best and more afford driver tube that I tried.  Generally 6F8G are less and sound really good.

Great catch, yes I did use it.  Did I do it wrong?

 jc9394 is right about the EML, danska. Should you or any others have interest, please send me a PM. Thanks!
