Has anyone used Tung-Sol BG 6F8Gs in the WA6? According to Woo, it isn't supported, though I've seen folks mention it before.

Yes they work great with adapters.
Email woo they will tell you themselves.
6c8g will work also and a lot cheaper


I thought so, but I emailed Woo about a 6F8G > 6DE7 adapter so I wouldn't need to stack 6F8G > 6SN7 > 6DE7 and Mike replied, saying:
 
6F8G is not compatible with WA6. Below is a link to our tubes compatibility chart for your reference.

...and oddly, the 6F8G is now listed in the chart under WA6. I wonder if Woo updated the chart today, because I don't remember seeing it there after I got that response from Mike.

Strange.
Well hit up 2359glenn
For adapters. His are real nice or eBay tho they are not nearly as nice. I've used both. I think eBay would be 2 adapter tho. Stock to 6sn7 then 6sn7 to 6f8g
Glenn's are straight stock to 6f8g

Hi Mike I was looking at your signature profile- I see you have a few Woo amps - have you thought of moving up to a WA5 or wa5le?  I wonder are the ecc31,32,33,34,35 compatible with them?  I see an upgraded wa5le on audiogon...

I have rolled and own a few sets of NU. Never had a noisy one.
 
I know the 6F can be noisy in the WA5 however that is fixed by using the 6C.

you can say that again ... mine are noisy from time to time

My Tung-Sol/Chatham JAN 6AS7Gs have arrived! They replaced a pair of TS5998 that had acted up once prior. I'm not sure which I prefer, though the 6AS7Gs only have 2 hours on them so far so it is hardly a fair comparison. With the LCD-X, I really like the lower gain of the 6AS7G -- the TS5998 and Sylvania 7236 have too much gain for the LCD-X. Next up is replacing the Psvane WE274 1:1 with a WE422A, which should arrive tomorrow. With this tube setup, I think I'm good for a long, long while.

Ladies and gents, I have just put the deposit down for a Black WA22! I have also requested to have a preamp function ($350 extra).  Can not wait!
