All British now and all brown base.
GEC u52
Mullard ecc32
GEC 6AS7G

Is that heavy silvering on top of the GEC's or do they have a top mounted getter? Never seen those.

Sweet!
 

Ordered a cossor 53KU gz37 wide bottle so we will test these three

 
Yes please. Do post photos. Tube porn at the highest level!

Quick first impressions
U52 is more bassy and low.
Also needs more volume

We422a more air louder less base but wider

Still early but nothing has touched the 422 since I started using it.

Also a pair of Mullard ecc35s that are beautiful.

I started with the Sophia Princess, then the USAF 596 and finally the 422a. Since it went in nothing else has taken it's place of honor, front and center in my WA22.

Until you try a 274b.

And then a TA274B...

Hey guys, i'm not sure if this is the right place for this, i've got a WA6SE that i bought from jack back in 2009, and i was wondering if people nowadays were still interested in it?  I'm finding myself having to travel a lot and am thinking of moving toward more portable options.  If this isn't the right place to put something like this let me know.

Have you tried them? I only have experience with the TA274B. The folks that I know have tried all 3 rank them as follows:
 
1) TA274B
2) WE274B
3) WE422A

Of those I only tried the WE274B and WE422A and the 422A was better.
Also electrically the 422 has less voltage drop then any direct heated rectifier.

At this time, there are no portable amp with desktop level performance. Stay tuned to our upcoming WA8. We're getting close to production.

Yes. I need one. Just don't have it at the moment but I will. And hopefully I'll find a good price.

Yeah if you like the 422a I think you'll really enjoy the 274b.

 

[3083joe]

And then a TA274B... :wink_face:

And it's really cheaper than the we300b

Would love to try the we274b but hate to pay that price and not get anything better than the 422

 

[3083joe]

The GEC u52 has nothing on 422.
Hands down.
