I see some people doing that .... but well with an orhto I prefer to have more ouput power, am I wrong ?
 
Another question : does a tube need a "burn in" time ?

No right or wrong it's just a matter of preference. The WA6 was plenty powerful for my needs being I have easily driven headphones, so going back to the WA6 with more tube rolling options was a better choice for me.
 
I don't know which tubes the SE can use, and unfortunately it seems the "Woo Audio Compatibility Chart" is no longer available when I just checked. It may have been outdated, and there could be a more current one? 
If anyone has a more current chart, I would appreciate the link, thank you.
 
Yes, tubes need burn-in time.

Of course, wrong explanation :
For my self I have choose to reduce tube rolling possibility but to have a more powerfull amp who cover more "usecase"/headphones.

I am pretty new here, just bought myself a used maxed out Wa6 with a Mullard GZ32/CV593 rectifier. and it came with a bunch of driver tubes, so far I really like the RCA 6FD7 and the RCA Fat Bottle 6GL7. I really want to try one of the 274B rectifier tubes, do y'all think they would be a decent upgrade from the current Mullard I am running? Any other advice on tubes and such are welcome!

The WA6 USA great Amp, congratulations! I vaguely remember the days when my wife supported my hobbies. There is a lot of experience here about tube rolling. You have many great options.

So i was up till 3 am listening :ksc75smile: and thought I would share my system and what was in the WA6's place before.
My system now is

HP laptop running all flac files
Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100
AKG Q701
Woo WA, 2nd generation with Sophia Princess and 13EM7 plus one pair of 13EM7->13DE7 Teflon tube adapters.

My previous amp was a little dot 1+ and I was very happy with it, but not now :smile_phones:

I couldn't be happier and since im off work today, im going to buy some Cd's :dt880smile:

Hello,

Did you know where to buy an after market 6em7 -> 6ed7 adapter ? (9 pins to 8 pin)

Is this kind of stuff could work ?

The adapters work. I've probably bought 5 different pairs depending on the amp. The ones from WOO are better but very expensive. WOO adapters are teflon with gold plate. The Chinese adapters are usually ceramic or bakelite. The Ceramic are white and the bakelite are usually brown or black.
