The Ref.5 is great, no doubts about that!
But...I felt there was something I was not totally happy with...slightly lack of dynamics, and it was very unforgiven of bad recordings.
I'll probably try a NOS dac, I'm dreaming of a Audio Note, though it's quite expensive.

Or the havana that you mentioned before.  The issue is though, the audio gd dac 19 is 640, but NOS dacs are quite expensive, much more than the dac 19.  From what I read they don't necessarily measure up in detail either.  But go for one and let us know how you like it with the 3.

Jack still may be having some slight delays with arriving parts for some of his amps.  Because of this, it only took him 6 days to build and ship my WA2.  It really depends on what you order and what parts he has in stock.  I will say this though, his estimates on when amps will ship seem to pretty pretty accurate, whether it's one week or six.

My WA5-LE took about 6 weeks because he was waiting for some of the upgraded parts.

I just ordered a regular ol' wa22. He stated the lead time was 3-4 weeks, but that time frame has come and gone. I guess since its not here, I have more time to research other things I want.

Just be patient.  Back when I ordered my WA22, the average wait time was around 4 weeks, but it took more like 6 weeks for mine to be completed.
 
I work in the electronics industry, and we've been experiencing part shortages (anything from MOSFETs to transformer cores) for nearly a year or so, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's experiencing some of the same.

Any one tried this XLR switch?

I have never tried 6SN7WGTA, have they got a good rep? I'm looking at these.
 

 
The last ones I bought (not WGTA) with green labelling were unbearably bright and after 10 mins I couldn't stand it. Does anyone have a set of these??
 
Thanks in advance guys.

 

[musicman59]

I got a pair of Sylvania 6SN7WGTA but with Brwon Base and I really like them. They have a big soundstage, crips highs, a lot of air in the midrange and very good impact in the bottom end.

 

[Skylab]

Same here - I only have the brown-base Sylvania 6SN7WGTA, but I think they sound terrific - relatively quite a bargain for NOS 6SN7's. 

 

[SpudHarris]

Thanks Musicman & Skylab. I'm trying to hold off until my Black Glass Round Plate 6F8G's get here but they are tempting me....

 

[musicman59]

I think they are different. The TS 6F8G have deeper bass imo but the BB Sylvania have more inner detail and are more open. Just two different flavors of good sounding tubes.
