Sounds like I should have went with the GEC 6080 instead of Tung Sol 7236 

 

 
You be the judge!

Should get both, tube rolling is part of tube amp ownership.

I fear the day when I got myself a WA6-SE would be the day I have redundant unused WA3 tubes..

Get the WA22 instead, they use 6080.

Is this the rectifier tube that is highly recommended for the WA6?http://www.ebay.com/itm/5AR4-GZ34-GE-Mullard-1965-Full-Wave-Rectifier-TESTED-Vacuum-Tube-/380827275464?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58ab1310

You would want the metal base version.  I haven't decided to try one out yet but been hearing much + feedback.

I thought the highly recommended rectifier for WA6 is the Sophia Princess?

 

[koiloco]

^ oh, i missed the WA6.  In that case, I am not sure.

Who ever told you this never tried other rectifiers. The metal based GZ34 is the best I heard.

Really? That was one of my least favourites.

Which one you like the best on WA6? Aside from metal based GZ34, my second favorite is EML 5U4G.

I like the EML 5U4G mesh plate very much. But bang for your buck, nothing beat the NOS Sylvania 5u4g. My one regret was I never got to try the 596.

 

[jc9394]

If you don't like the metal based GZ34, you probably don't like 596, they sound very similar.

Well that makes me feel better....thanks!

 

[jc9394]

Just curiosity, what other tubes you tried with metal based GZ34?
