but here's a shot of my freshly installed Sylvania 6SN7-GTB.
 
so far, nothing special.  sound about the same as my GE fat bottle 6fd7... 
we'll see how they sound after they cook for a while...

Congrats on those..... I have the exact same tubes and they will definately open up, they have been in my WA6 since they got here and are definately a must have tube.
 
The only camera I could lay my hands on was on my phone so please excuse the rubbish pics, I dare say they wouldn't be a whole heap better with a proper camera as It's not my forte really. Anyhow because of these I am feeling tired this morning as I had a late listening session. In my opinion these are worth the £100 I paid

WOW! The Treasure with adapters are as large as the Sophia, impressive looking indeed.

That is some tube fetish guys, simply great!

Thanks Seamaster.......
 
I was searching earlier and stumbled over a post from a while ago where you were searching for a decent GZ34 / 5AR4, did you ever find a decent one? If so, anything to better the Sophia?
 
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Spud for the pics.
 
I have a pair of Treasures on the way my 2 weeks old WA6.  Do I need socket adapters for the Treasures?

No worries, sorry they aren't better.
 
Yes you will need the adapters as for all intents and purposes the Treasures are the same family as 6SN7. Get them from Jack ($40) or from Glenn from this thread. Not sure where TheWuss got his but they look better than mine. His are the same diameter as the tube base (which looks nice) mine are slightly smaller I think...... Treasures are wicked!

 

[KZCloud89]

Thanks Spud.  Will contact Wuss for the adapters.

I am interested in the adapters as well. I sent an email to Jack but have not heard back. I like the look of adapters TheWuss found. Please let me know what you find out. Thanks

Is your WA6 newer and has the larger cutouts for the 6DE7's? I have an older WA6 and from what I can see from the pictures it may not work. Do you think adapters fit into the older WA6 sockets?

mine is the newer wa6, with larger dia. cut-outs.
 
however, glenn's adapters have a small base that should work with the older 2a6.
i say should.  would love for somebody who has old wa6 and glenn's adapters to chime in... 

 

[balderon]

I looked at all the adapters for seller ID 2359glenn but I didn't see a specific adapter for 6DE7/6EW7/6FD7. The closest I found was for 6FQ7 but the pinout is different than the 6DE7. Is there another I missed? fleabay for 2359glenn

Do you have glenn's adapters? Would you mind measuring (precision not required) the diameter of your adapter?

Glenn's adapters will fit the older WA6 , I am waiting for a purchase statement from him so I can order them. Let me know if you have any more ?s.
