At the moment I am sitting in my armchair and enjoy some singer and songwriter music.


 

 
Beautiful setup. That looks like a projection screen behind your head-fi rig presentation. Did you cannibalize your theater rig for Head-Fi? You, sir, are a true enthusiast

I cannibalized my HT also. Never had a interest in headphones at all until 6 months ago. Everything is changed now tho.

I have a mega expensive projector. 230 unwatched blu-ray films and all I want to do is play with the Woo. :D

I found out about this tube from @TonyNewman…who then told me he found out about this tube through you, so thank you! I ordered one the other night, but didn't see/realize they came in Bown/Black base, so I don't know what I'm getting. What are the differences?

None, both are the same.

The Holy Grail, to quote someone on this thread ... Western Electric 421a, matched pair, tested strong, coming soon to a Woo near me.
 
Now, I really *do* have to stop buying tubes.

So its just pot luck?


Yep, when I oredred I didn't specify Black or Brown and I was sent Black, I guess you try specifying when you order.

Ha, I bought 4 of those last week. Not yet arrived. I'm on the wrong end of the planet.
 

 
I do have one set that is labeled up Chatham with the same design. They are the best sounding 6AS7G that I have heard. However I haven't heard the 5998.


Well, I finally got around to throwing one of the TS 6AS7G into the WA3. No burn-in, yet, so maybe the sound will change. More controlled bass (and less of it, compared to the 5998, which was really growing on me), but it shows promise.
 
However, the first one I tried really rings - I mean more than any other tube I have. I guess I've been lucky, so far.
 
Does ringing settle down with burn-in or it going to stay that way? Do I need tube dampers for these? Or, is this just a bad tube or how these sound?
