  Why an adapter for the Tung Sol 6SN7?

That's a socket saver not an adapter..

I guess I didn't know there was such a thing.
Too bad. I have the same Tung Sol 6SN7 in my WA5 and the base came loose on one of them. Still works fine but I have to be careful to grasp just the base when inserting or removing. The pins were pretty corroded and the Woo socket is pretty tight. So I polished the pins. But I am very reluctant to change out those tubes now. Which is not a giant problem because I don't know of a better 6SN7 for the Woo anyway.
Do you?

Check out the mullard ECC31's they are not too high priced you can get a great early 1950's pair for around 260. much finer sounding then any 6sn7. When I tried them & the 32's 35's I was sold never going back..

I use super glue with my loose base tubes just put a little all around where glass meets base  so far they stay glued

Good to know. Thank you!
I knew a fresh way to spend money on audio was just around the corner!

So I snagged a pair off of eBay for $244!
I love Mullards. Have the CV4003s in my PrimaLuna.
Can you recommend a source for an adapter?
Thanks for the tip.
 
Anybody want a used Tung Sol with a loose base?

i use these adapters in my WA22  ECC31 TO 6SN7   http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-Gold-plated-ECC31-6N7G-TO-6SN7-CV181-B65-ECC32-ECC33-tube-converter-adapter-/201134198992?hash=item2ed48850d0:g:LNYAAOSwPcVVvs1s

I get the impression based on test results I see listed for various ECC31s that they have lower output than the 6SN7.
Do you think that is a problem with my power hungry Abyss phones on the WA5?

I say you'll really enjoy them congrats..

  Yes I am lol. My problem is that the noise (which is tolerable though) keeps existing, without source.

 
Check the settings. What headphone are you using? Most headphones are LO power and LO Level setting.

Congrats!  The WA7 is an very nice Amp/DAC combo.  I use one for my desk setup at work.
