If memory serves, I don't think the WE422A's work in a WA5/SE.

Would anyone happen to know where I could find some Takatsuki 300B's? I wouldn't mind picking up a pair, or two, while I'm in Japan next month.

Yes the chart shows 274A with adapter and WE 274A with no adapter.
If you look at the picture below of a WE274A, at the very least it needs a adapter.
 
However if memory servers, its more than just needing a adapter. 
Its been a long time when I looked into the WE274A, so I can't recall exactly.

  Hey everyone, 
New member/Old lurker here. Just figured I'd introduce myself and post up my WA7d +WA7tp desktop combo. This isn't anywhere close to some of the systems I've seen posted up here, but I hope you guys enjoy all the same. 
 
Now to go back, and attempt to read this thread... I may need a few cups of coffee for this.  
 
 
 

Welcome, nice looking rig !

Is 

Woo Audio WA7d Fireflies Duo good for pairing ( HD800,LCD-2F,HE500)?​

 

[rschoi75]

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely enjoying the fireflies.

Amlalsulami,
You will be fine with the WA7. While I don't personally own those particular headphones, many reviews on here do cover those headphones and they all are very positive. I'm running Alpha Dogs (that I just received from another member here), and it's just heavenly. Good luck.

Sound good, So what is mean (WA7tp vacuum tube power supply will) It's cost more about $1598

Has anyone come across this before? Sorry if it is in the wrong thread. It is in a Woo amp tho.
 
I had a noisy tube. The left hand side RCA 6AS7G in the picture.
I don't know why but I decided to give the base of it a flick with my finger. To my surprise it shut up and stopped being noisy for a while.
So for one listening session every time it was noisy I would stop and listen to the noise with no music on and give it a flick. In the end it stopped being noisy all together. It hasn't been noisy now for a long time. Sounds great now.
 
Anyone here know why this would be? Is that a common way to fix a noisy tube? Just give it a tap?

 

[Stereolab42]

RCA 6AS7G, lol. Gave up on those noisy-ass tubes when I had my WA22, just write them off. And no, it's not a good idea to flick hot tubes.

Well, it worked for him.

Yeah, I don't have any more RCA 6AS7G's coming. I have other brands on the way (Raytheon, Chattam, Tung Sol and Sylvania).
What power tubes did you use in the WA22? I find 6AS7G's nicer than 6080 versions and even better than my Woo supplied 7236.

The TS 7236 from Woo were the best. Cheap RCA 6080s performed above their price as well.

I don't overly like the TS 7236. It is too solid state sounding. I already have a nice SS amp so I don't see the point.
I have a few RCA and GE 6080's. They can be noisy as well. 6AS7G's sound lush and more tubey.

I've had good luck with both the TS 5998's and the GEC 6AS7G's. The TS's are noticeably more powerful with stronger, fuller bass and the GEC's seem to me to have a bigger, rounder soundstage. Also, there is some characteristic of the GEC's that makes me more aware of reverb in the recording. Have no idea why.
