DG.....

I prefer the TS7236 over the TS5998's with my WA22/HD800's. I too am waiting on your GEC impressions.

Me too!  Waiting for WA 22 and GEC critique.  I would think that the light bass (either real or self-impression) could/ would be solve by a Bendix 6080WB graphite.  Anyone tried a Bendix 6080WB graphite in their WA 22?  Impressions?  Wider sound stage and fuller/ deeper bass, although not as transparent, but very good separation and instrument/ vocal presentation.

SO, what is your opinion regarding UP-OCC casting copper vs. silver cables (i.e., good Japanese interconnects - yes, I'm still waiting for your Shindo shipment?)  I'm impressed with the long crystal copper but I would like applicable opinions.  I understand there are numerous vendors to choose from, but hope most of us have a reason to why?  FWIW,  I'm impressed with UP-OCC copper.
 
Thanks, to y'all! --> I'm not from the South, "but variety is the spice of life!"

I've not owned enough; heard enough of the aforementioned cables. Rather, my selection was due to understanding Ken Shindo's vision. And I would like to hear that first, and then set off an exploration of snake pits cable possibilities.

well decided to put up a picture.
 
using TS 5998 and 596 here + treasures.
seems all the 6F8G i bought have higher noise floor or noise issues. so been using the treasures mostly. i have a pair of RCA grey glass incoming.
 
the bass i still have to find a good combo to get the best quantity out (luckily the extension is better than WA2, that i do notice). but the sound quality with these tubes is stunning. no noise like 6F8G, and the sound is still similar. the T1 sound so holographic and spacious, i've never heard them have such a huge soundstage! 
 
the midrange of the WA22 really works well with the T1, the mids come out quite nicely. very liquid smooth mids, the highs are just as extended as WA2, maybe a little more but similar.
 
one thing im noticing now, holy ****!! the detail with the T1 on some tracks is just amazing, the WA22 just loves rock music as well as acoustic! not sure if it'll work for electronic, but on some tracks, the detail is just incredible.
 
more to come!

Finally got it set up!!! Finally!!!

I will be getting new power cables and line conditioners for my gear tomorrow :)

So far listening to the 300bs it came with on both my mini maggies and Abyss (with Plate output high gain key). All I can say is it sounds wonderful. Smooth, and just makes me want to Woo!
