You need an adapter that reverses pins 2 & 8 for a WE422A to work properly with out introducing hum
Is this only relevant for the WA22?

No all amps.
Normally the DC is taken off pin 8 this is were the cathode is hooked to in tubes like GZ34 GZ37.
The WE422A has the cathode connected to pin 2 so the 5 volt AC filament voltage is added to the
DC output.

Kind of wish I'd mentioned the hum to the group before I bought 3 different 422a's trying to get one that didn't hum. For some reason I've never seen a mention of an adapter for the 422. I'm under the impression you sell some kinds of adapters, any chance you sell that one? Or know someone that does? Thanks.
It's not too late, there are options available.Aww man, I just bought my first Woo Audio product (WA6). I am really enjoying it, but would have probably been interested in this SE version if I would have seen this first. GLWS
Yea, the thought of selling my WA6 crossed my mind. However I have yet to tube roll with it. I am really happy so far with the stock tubes. I want to listen to it and tube roll for a while before deciding to move to the SE version. I read some reviews saying the improvements are subtle, while other reviews claim the upgrade in sonic quality is very apparent. I guess its like everything else in this hobby, system dependent.
I hear ya brother about the real estate one would need to devote to the WA6-SE. What turned me toward the WA6 was when I checked their comparative shipping weights.I'm so happy with my WA6 after tube rolling that the SE does not interest me. Besides, too much real estate. Mine's all tucked in.

I was determining if I had any small tables to put it on for a listening station.Can't say as I've ever let shipping weights determine an audio purchase. Interesting.
