  DG, could you compare the WE422a to an EML5U4G in the WA22 when you had it?  In my mind you have every rectifier on the planet, so I thought maybe you would have done this comparison.

 
yeah the EML its a nice sounding tube, warm yet balanced and with good imaging, but i personally think there are many NOS tubes that outperform it, no comparison vs WE422A, the WE422A is more transparent and has more detail and clarity to it. some of the other rectifiers i have i would prefer to the EML as well.
 
i did use the EML in the WA22 quite a bit because it didn't cause noise with some of the 6f8g's i used. i preferred the EML 274B on the WA22 over the 5U4G. 
 
In my WA22 the TS5998 produce more bass than the TS7236 but still have plenty of power.

 
+1, in the WA22 i still preferred the 5998 over the 7236 tubes.

I have listened to most of the Woos with the LCD series. The WA5 sounds the best but the WA6-SE is the best value.

You have to be kidding me! $177 for one tube?! I paid for my $40... I am glad I have my backups

Funny thin only one using those tubes I think are headfi member in a small group here. I wonder which one of us bought that tube. I was waiting for that auction near the end but never placed a bid because they were too high and I need two of them.
