I usually keeps the tubes as far as possible to each other.  never use the 6AS7G with Treasures.  I love my Woo so much that I will try my best not to damage it.

Another note, I'm Woo-less for over a week and very happy going back home to the family and Woo....  Can't wait to fire up the Woo to listen to my flavors with LCD-2...

You had quite the week out West! A good warm welcome from your family and Woo ought help you get re-oriented just fine. Wonder what artist/group you'll select first to help with this transition...

Don't go to ebay.  For 6FD7 Sylvania fat bottle contact Jon at The Tube Store.  Last time I talked to him, he had a pair in stock.  I think the price is $6 each.
For Brimar, you will have to go ebay.  I got my for $50 shipped.
Good luck.

Exactly what I was looking for, is there a good place to get these from other than ebay (pref a place that offers matching service)? Are these the 6de7's http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NOS-RCA-10DE7-6DE7-Amplifier-Tube-/360386121813?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item53e8afd055 ?
 
Cheers!

Need help with WA6 SE.  I have one on loan and not sure if this is normal, but the gain is really high.  I have my HD650 plugged into the "High" headphone jack, with the volume knob at 9 o'clock position, the music is very loud.  I can't go pass 10 o'clock without hurting my ear.
Is this normal for the SE?

 

[jc9394]

^^^ yes, that was my experience as well. It all depends on your source output level.

I agree with jc9394. Depending on your source you'll find the WA6SE to be a dynamic amp with punch! (tube dependent as well) This was my out of the box experience with the 6 SE and stock driver tubes.

It looks like Skylab tried them a couple of years ago and liked them for the most part, just wondering if anybody has used them is a Woo more recently.

Is Macroni much better than NU and TS one?  I have not heard the Macroni before.
 

So sorry to heard that you missed your WA22, I can tell you it is in good hands now.

  You are right on the 6AS7G but at least no expense on the 300B...

  One reason I keep staying away from WA5.
 

For the 6F8G, you should know the answer

 what I've still kept on hand.
 
You really an EVIL.

  But fortunately, after fully burn-in and with thoes costly tubes, it sound very good.

You are lucky man for no need to travel frequently, I need to go to my Shanghai office every alternative week and stay there from Mon to Fri every time. My wife has no hard feeling about my travel and she says, she feels nice home alone with my cats when I'm not home.

Sophia's 6SN7 should be OEM by Full Music which manufactured in Tianjin, China. They look identical to my eyes and is only US46.99 each from a most expensive seller, they can find in this Chinese popular WEBSITE, even some of the sellers are willing to ship outside China but, unfortunately, almost all of them cannot communicate in English.

Unless you are madly in love with the looks, I wouldn't bother. Even a run of the mill Sylvania 6SN7GTB sounds just as good, and is much cheaper.

Have some new "old light bulbs" arrived today.

 Since I need some replacement to my fauly EML 5U4G. I ordered the Mullard GZ37 on eBay, from Taiwan and the seller sent them yesterday and door bell rang this morning, then I have them on my hands from the postman, amazingly fast shipment and swift action of the seller. The Mullard GZ34 fat/ black base, got them from a local seller which is the one sold me the Fivre 5Z3s. Now I have the GZ37 burn-in in the WA5LE, the initial impression is, they sound very nice as expected, no regret. Will try the GZ34 later.
