This is something new to me.. However, I never fancy the 6DE7 from the start and I prefer the 6EW7 and hate that 6FD7 doesn't work with the newer WA6SE.
Got a pair of Mullard CV2984's today. Man, they sound great with the pair of Amperex 6dj8's. The cool thing is that I have a pair of them. Only use one though. Merry Christmas to me
Got my WA6 w/PDPS last week and been doing the burn-in and the sound so far is great! I listen to mostly metal/rock and I'm very pleased with the results so far.
Been listening to Black Sabbath remasters and some other stuff and the soundstage and the dynamics are great with this amp and I can hear the separation of instuments more with everything being more clear but at the same time with greater punch!
Thanks to you all for this thread, read every single post on here! Merry Christmas!

Congrats on your new Woo. I've had mine a year and a half and I'm still thrilled with it. Good Luck with yours and Merry Christmas to you too
One thing I noticed with my 3+ is that it changes a lot with the tubes you put in it. It is good since I have a decent assortment of tubes and more coming. The Mullard CV 2984's are great. With the RCA ECC88's, they are silky smooth. It is awesome that I can really tune the sound with tubes. I have had the experience with gear that tubes don't really make that big of difference. So the Woo is burning in nicely and it is just getting very musical. Can't wait for the tubes that are coming. Need more 6922's since I have a good collection of the 6AS7's, 6080's, A1834's, CV2984's. Know that some are the same, it's OK they all sound a little different.

Welcome to the Club. I had mine since mid 2009 and enjoying every moment with it and much more with every tweak added on to the rig.

I just opened my early Nov WA6SE and it had a 100v cathode cap. I will have to mod mine when I find my soldering iron.
I have my WA6SE Maxxed with with Premium Parts and 2 x BlackGate 220uf/ 160V NH are in the case, does that means that I am safe to go with 6FD7 tubes??? The unit was in my delivered during May 2009

PS: newer WA6SE can use 6FD7 without any problems

"actually, i meant the cathode plate cap that is one the small circuit board. jack uses
a 470uf/100v cap there. the cathode bypass/bias cap is the 220uf/16v caps.
anyway, mine hover around 85v when i use the 6fd7 but maybe convenants caps
were not up to par even at 100v... it is a good idea to change it out to at least 160v
for the 6fd7 and others. and yes, the 3% increase in current draw is what makes
the output and power transformers a bit warmer. but it's still way inside of what jack
told me last year when he said the output transformers will take up to 1.2A per tube
for a total of 2.4A."
I hope takezo don't mind that I quote the PM here.
