I'm using some GE 6EW7s, they actually sound pretty similar to the stock Raytheon tubes that came with my 6SE. I enjoyed the 6FD7s jack was selling (because of their deep bass and smooth treble), but they have higher gain and on my D7000s and Signature Pros they added quite a bit of background noise so I moved back to the 6EW7s. I noticed that the FD7s were much quieter with the LCD2s and HE500s, so if you are using more power hungry headphones the FD7s are worth looking into (also relatively inexpensive).

I need help with my WA22.
 
My amp still hums.  I can hear it in my D7000 and on the outside of the amp.  I have tried 10 different power tubes.  3 rectifiers and a couple of drivers.  I have tried Herby tube rings, isolation platform and a power conditioner.  No matter what I do I still hear noise.  I just got a pair of 7236 and I think the power tubes are quieter, but the amp still hums.  I can hear the humming on the outside of the amp, and I think it is translating into the headphones.  I might be able to get a different rectifier, I had one that did not make the amp hum as much, but I sold it.
 
Should I send it in the Woo and have it fixed?  I actually really like it now that I have the WDS-1 and can turn the volume down.  If I cannot get rid of the humming, I'm going to have to sell it, but I don't think I can sell it the way it is now.  I wouldn't want to buy it.
 
I had noise problems, although not as bad when I had the T1.  I know the D7000 is sensitive, but I think this is outside the norm.  I had noise problems with the Corvina and turns out there was a loose ground with it.  This seems similar.  Should I open it up and check if anything is loose?
 
Edit: I guess I should mention it's with the WA22.

Japanese made Raytheon 6EW7 and British made GE 6EW7 get my vote.  I had a pair of RCA 6FD7 with a rare and unique plate configuration I really liked too when I had my WA6, but nobody including myself was ever able to find another pair like it.  Hopefully the new owner enjoys them.  A Sylvania 6FD7 is probably also worth trying, I personally didn't care for the commonly found grey plate RCA version.

Just got the Sophia Electric Princess mesh-plate rectifier I ordered from Macedanian Hero. MH, I can't believe how fast it got here - thanks!
 
After only a few minutes, this is EXACTLY what i was hoping it would be. It widened the sound stage, tightened the bass up and made it more articulate, and sped things up a tad all at the same time compared to my Mullard GZ37. I was looking for a nice middle ground between my GZ34 and GZ37 and instead got a complete improvement over both. It goes great with my Sylvania chrome top 6SN7, which are very nice and have nice lush mids.
 
I'll have to try my Tung Sol 6F8G again tonight with the princess now. Using the Mullard GZ37 and GZ34, I ended up preferring the Sylvania 6SN7. Be interesting to try again with the Princess this time since the combo has a lot to do with how a given tube sounds.

i love that tube!

Glad you're enjoying it (and that it got there so fast from here in Canada).

The Princess and the EML 5U4G were my two favourite rectifier tubes for the WA22.

is the Full music 274B the OEM for the Sophia Princess??? i got the Balloon glass instead of the Coke glass one..somehow ive read almost anything i could find for the Full music brand but lots of people were saying that Full Music is the OEM for Sophia Princess 274B tube..
 
anyone have compared them..? I kinda like the sound of my Full music 274B compared to my Tung-Sol 5U4G tubes for my now configuration without DAC and DDC just straight out of my laptop with 3.5mm to RCA cable...
