Kicking back and listening to Melody Gardot's new album The Absence that I just downloaded on HDTracks. It sounds freaking awesome on the WA22.

Ever since I dropped in the Sophia Princess 274b mesh plate rectifier, my WA22 has been so engaging. Can't wait to try out the 596.

I'm interested in the seller's contact as well.

SeeHear, 2 questions for you.....
 

 
 
Stock tubes?  Is that a Denon SACD?  Looking really sharp!

 

[Hiyono]

Hi,  I been thinking of joining the Club and getting a Woo Audio WA22.  I was wonder what tubes would be a good match for the LCD3?  Want to do some research on tubes before I buy it. 
 
Ones I see often posted are the Sylvania 7236, Shuguang CV181-Z Treasures, EML 5U4G, Sophia Princess Mesh Plate 274B. What other ones would roll nicely?
 
If I buy an Upgrade tube from Woo audio.  Is it just an upgrade or will they include the original tube too?
 
Thanks.

 

[Silent One]

Original tube will be included.

Hiyono, those tubes that you mentioned are great upgrades, I prefer the Princess to the EML with those others myself but that's with the LCD-2; they're both great tubes. The stock tubes come with the amp, it's good to have a baseline before you roll in the upgraded tubes (which you buy separately).

I think we should learn of his musical preference for the rec round - Miss Sophia or EML Glass.

 
I think this site could use a Haagen-Dazs emoticon. The music sounded better tonight with Dulce de Leche.

Just picked up a pair of 1951-1952 Raytheon 6SN7GT tubes on eBay. They have the staggered plates. Has anyone heard these?

I used them for about 6 months but now I am using the 596. The EML are stored.

 
Me too, I stored the normal EML (of course, I have only one left), the Mullard GZ34 fat base and GZ37 when the 596s arrived and putting in the WA5LE.

But once it did, I immediately thought "proceeds" from the sale of the EML - I could have bought 10 USAF-596's; a few albums from HDTracks; dinner for two before the night's listening session with honey. And still have change in my pocket! 

 
Do you think I can sell a used but very nice working condition EML 5U4G with good price.

Those seem to be going for around $125, depending on the age and number of hours.
