Is this the same tube that you are mentioning? I am looking for a good starter pair of 6sn7's for my incoming amp, and would like an alternative the the shuguang treasures that jack recommends.
 

Mine are not exactly the same the Chrome top extends down the side about 1/4 or 1/3 of the lenght.

I think I've seen those as well, but I may have a more difficulty purchasing them in pairs. Is them (or is the writing on the base rather than the tube)? So many choices!

@ dmac03 - yes, those were the ones I was referring to.  Nice tubes.

Looking at buying myself a woo to hear for myself what all the hype is about. You think the WA6 is worth the extra $$ over the WA3? Tell me wooxperts!

I'd probably be upgrading the tubes so I guess stock ones don't matter too much.

WA6 is much better for low impedance headphone like your AD900 and excellent with Senn HD6xx and HD800. The WA3 is great for high impedance but not well with low.

Not a "wooxpert" by any means but you certainly get what you pay for with these amps. The WA6 is worth it over the WA3, just like the WA6SE is worth it over the WA6, and so on... it really just depends on what your needs are.

Since WA6SE has both low and high impedence jacks, does it make it more viable for high impedance cans?
 
I was thinking about a t1, but I read from several posts recently that they are not a great match, in particular, for the reason that WA6SE sounds more like a SS amp. But what if one uses the EML 5u4g mesh tube to make it sound more tube like and add the 6sn7 on the WA6SE? Does that synergise much better?

This was my dilemma, but I like a tubey sound, my favourite headphones are the HD650 and I'm going to buy some DT880, 600ohm as well.
Actually my heart wanted me to buy the Woo2

I think mine have wrting in both the base and the glass. In the glass they say '6SN7WGT". I'll try to take a picture tonight and post it.

I don't have experience with the WA6SE just with my WA5-LE and my recabled T1. Right now I have EML 300B Mesh, Sylvania BB 6SN7WGT chrome tops and EML 5U4G Mesh in the WA5-LE and the T1 sound just plain magnificent.

Anybody using Herbie's Rx Halos in your tubes? I bought them for all my tubes (power, driver and rectifier) and found out that actually my WA5-LE sound better without them in the driver tubes.
Anybody had the same experience? With them the bass gets leaner and the body of the sound gets reduced loosing it's magic.
