Thanks!

Just got my Wa7's in and up and running

 
It looks great. WA7 is such a looker.

Think I may build a similar HP stand.
But with 2 horizontal supports maybe better with Abyss.
Odd HPs don't balance on a stand too well.
The biker chic motif sort of matchs the Abyss styling.
What did you use for the base?

I used an old piece of wood I had in the basement and just painted it. Then sanded through parts while it was still soft then cleared it. Went to Lowes and got some cast iron pipe with a T fitting and a few caps and a flange. Think it cost me like 15 bucks to make.

I'm gonna do it.
Will post a pic.
(If I can figure out how)  :0)

If this is not to much to ask of WA5/WA5-LE owners to list their top 3 driver and rectifier tubes.

1" in Flange. 12"in threaded pipe, 1"in Tee, 1 End cap and 1 plug. Screw it all together and paint color of your choice and then mount on the wood of your choice. Cheap, simple and looks cool

For me.
Drivers:
1) TS BG/RP 6F8G
2) TS BG/RP 6SN7GT
3) Sylvania 6SN7WGT short bottle, brown base, chrome top
 
Rectifiers:
1) Cossor 53KU
2) GEC U52
3) USAF 596
4) EML 5U4G, Brimar 5R4GY
 
I have not tried the Taks 274B

I read that the internals on the TS 6F8G are the same as the 6SN7.
How would you contrast the sound?
Does the 6F8G require an adapter/
?
Thanks

Yes they do       http://www.ebay.com/itm/2piece-TOP-GOLD-PLATED-6F8G-6C8G-TO-6SN7-6SL7-TUBE-CONVERTER-ADAPTER-/201202356729?hash=item2ed89851f9:g:hdwAAOSwjVVVvCz5

6F8G look super cool.
I have 3 pr of TS 6SN7GT oval mica. Wanted to make sure I had backups.
Like them better than Sylvania 6SN7GT for the midrange.
I have tried maybe 6 different 6SN7 and the Sylvania 6SN7GT and Tung Sol 6SN7GT are very nice.
The others were nothing special.
Got some Mullard ECC31 b/o Abvolt's opinion.
Haven't arrived yet so we'll see.
Do have high hopes though.
Aside from the cool factor, do 6F8G sound very different from the 6SN7?

IMO they sound a little different and better specially in the size and presentation of the soundstage with the 6F8G having bigger soundstage and even more natural sound.
Yes, they require an adapter.

+1 for TSRP 6F8G, also like the National Union 6C8G (I liked them over pretty much all the 6SN7s I've had).
Of the rectifiers I have I liked Brimar 5R4GY, Mullard GZ32, and the Weber WU4GB

Hey there Woo-sters! I realize it's a little counterintuitive, but if any of you blokes are interested to sell or trade a black WA22, please let this head-fier know!

As you were.
