I thought I saw a Prima Luna in the remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last summer.

To be honest, most of my tubes came from ebay, but some came from vacuumtubes.net
 
For the rectifier, perhaps you can start off with the Mullard CV378, which is $120 at Well Audio at Burlington Square. If the U52 is electrically equivalent to the 5U4G, then the normal Tung Sol or RCA 5U4Gs can be a good starting alternative.

If CV378 cost you $120. I am sure I will take GZ34 or EML 5u4g anytime depends on your sonic taste.

Good catch! I had previously pushed for product placement of WooAudio amps in film/tv. Originally, I felt Will Gardner of "The Good Wife" would have been perfect. By the way, which model was it?

I can't be sure until I double check, but I would guess it was the WES.
I'll edit in once i've double checked.
 
Edit-- I did my homework and checked the episode over and although it may look like a WES, upon closer inspection I cannot see the stax connections. Also, looking through Woo audio's lineup again I noticed that (unfortunately) none of the headphone tube amps matches the description: Two silver knobs, single headphone jack in the center, and four identically sized tubes across the top.
 
Long story short, looks like my first foray into sharp-eyed amp identifier was a failure.

If you have the ability to grab a frame (screen capture), this thread will figure it out...

That sounds fun.
I'll find time tomorrow to post up the screenshot.

Slightly off-topic, but I can't resist mentioning that I spotted a Woo Audio tube amp in the background of Harvey's office in episode 1 of Suits.
I was proud of that catch, and wanted to share with fellow Woo Audio owners and fans.

 
Although not plugged into a Woo there are loads of  tubes used as props in and out of radio kit in the 1st season of Falling Skies

Clayton,
 
Have you tried Zombie Dust IPA yet?  Ooooooooooooooooooooooo..................Beer.................

 
I have not. But I have switched from tube rolling to beer (barrel) rolling. I also like St. Bernardus Wit. I visited the tavern a few days after I handed the WA2 to Ultrainferno and grabbed a St. Bernardus Wit at the suggestion of the Beer-tender.

I burned in my 596's for ~60 hours and rolled in some different driver tubes and WOW!!!!!!  My sound has never been better.

Are those the 596 you got from me? You've been patient!
I still have two 596 tubes here, seeing Keph disappeared. Also thinking of selling 6 of my stock of NOS 2399 tubes...

 

[setamp]

Yes, Ultrainferno.  They are the tubes I got from you.  I finally received my adapters this week.  I cannot believe how well they work in my Decware rig.  Thank you!
