That's weird. On mine he made the wires come out the sides. Kinda balanced. On your WA22 they look kinda random.

Cool. They look great with the black wires. I think I will ask Glenn to make me another set. Also I will see if he has black caps.

I'm a bit confused with the adapter set up in your WA6.
Why are you still using Woo adapter between Glenns 6F8G adapters, and not plugging Glenns 6DE7>6F8G adapter directly into your WA6?
Are those not Glenns 6DE7>6F8G your using Woo 6DE7>6SN7>6F8G?

Just a matter of cost .

Just got the U52 in... First thoughts, this will take some getting used to, but I see why it's in that top 3 or 4 rectifiers. The Brimar 5Z4G is much warmer, especially around the mids/upper bass. This U52 is pretty neutral, which gives some much needed space to the upper mids/lower treble. I didn't realize what I was missing. Detail is a bit more, tonality is more accurate, and the speed.... Oh god, the speed, the decay. I was halfway hoping it wouldn't be worth keeping, and I could turn around and sell it, but... no.
 
I also appreciate the lower Brimar 5Z4G much more though, it is a great tube. It is probably a bit more forgiving, and definitely warmer. No way the U52 is "worth" 20x the price, but then, what is sound worth to all of us? Hard to say. But I'm glad I bought it.

Sounds like a plan. I will need to work out how to get it to me. Do you ship overseas?
Is the cap a little like this?

Thanks for your impressions. Warm is so me. I try to avoid neutral. So I will stay with the Brimar 5Z4GY.

The cap is a bit different it was made by Hobson Bros Chicago they are dark brown almost black.
I do ship overseas it will probably be $25 for USPS priority mail shipping.

Ohhh. That sounds nice. I thought you were kidding about NOS and made in the USA. Obviously you were not.
