  I do have a adapter that goes from 6DE7 to 6F8 directly then you can leave out the 6DE7 to 6SN7 adapter.

Glenn, by all means in no way/shape/form did I mean your 6DE7>6F8G adapters was the reason for me having an issue with the glass touching the SP…its just the shape of both rectifier/drive tubes, so please don't take my post the wrong way, your adapters are excellent, and I always recommend them to others. After re-reading my post, it can seem to come across the wrong way which was not intended…at all.

Cool. Thanks
Seems there are several different gz34 how do you know which is the good one?
Tia

Mullard GZ34 Fat Base early production (f31 series)
I think this is a good choice, and is not nearly as expensive as the metal base version, and it might outlive your amp! 

 
Does anyone have experience with Mullard CV1377 (GZ34) Double Getter  Brown Base - compared to the other versions?
Thanks.

Just an update of my personal experience with the Brimar 5Z4G. As in the words of Meghan Trainor, "It's all about the bass"!

Frankly, I didn't expect that I'll be able to hear much difference. But was I surprised. Nice... I like! It also tames some sibilance for me as well, which is a bonus. Happy days!

Thank you TonyNewmanand some others who pointed me towards the Brimar. Good value for like 35 bucks!

Badas deserves the credit for bringing this bargain tube to the forum.
 
High end performance for not much coin - brilliant combination.

Hello
 
I am the proud owner of a WA22, matched with HD800 and a Bryston BDA-2.
 
Having had the amp for six months, I am looking to roll tubes. It cam with the Sylvania 6SN7GT driver tube upgrade, now I am keen to replace the JAN6080 power tubes. Keen on the GE6080WA, but ebay never seems to explicitly state WA - so how can you tell? Here  is an example http://www.ebay.com/itm/111693787562?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
 
thanks

Anyone try the LCD3-f with the WA22- it's not as mentioned a combination. I understand that they are known to be really good with hd800 and I think the pairing is excellent but I'm impressed with the LCD3f- it's not as resolving as the LAu but I think it has it's merits in presenting a wide sound stage.

Once I got my LCD-3f's my HD800's went to my backup system. The LCD highs are clear and detailed without being etched and overall the music has greater weight and fullness to it. They're a great match for my WA22.

In my experience (which is limited) as long as the numbers match you are good. They rarely state any amp as they work with so much.

Good morning.
Not sure this is the best place for the question but being im a wa6 owner I figured I'd ask here.
I'm looking for a new dac
I want something good!
The ones I've been looking at are
Rega dac (no high res usb) but don't really need it. Most music will be CDs or dad played through teac
Cd-p800
Other options
Music hall 25.3 dac
Or pro ject dac box rs
Tia for any info or thought.

I just meant it would lower the 6F8s with out using 2 adapters the tubes might not touch.

Big thumbs up to the W4S DAC2. I have the DAC2 DSDse version that has been upgraded from the original DAC2 and it is a great bang for the buck piece.

I bought 2 pairs of 6C8G for may WA5-LE. One is Tung-Sol and the other National Union. I received both yesterday and trying them I realized these tubes do not drive the 300B of my WA5-LE correctly so I am selling them.
I just want to recuperate my cost. If somebody is interested please send me a PM.
These are the tubes:

I'm not sure if you're only looking at the second-hand original Rega DACs but just thought I'd mention that the newest revision of the Rega-DAC,  the "Rega DAC-R", is now fully asynchronous USB equipped accepting high res audio up to 192Hz, in case that was going to sway your decision at all.

Interesting. Badas is going to be in a world of hurt if he ever upgrades to a WA5, lol.
