I have asked Jack whether the 6FD7 will damage my October delivered WA6SE. I'll post the verdict.


So, I got my reply from Jack to my question:

"No, 6FD7 is not recommended on the 6SE. Only one amp was done differently."

I knew the SE wasn't compatible, but what does "Only one amp was done differently" mean??

Yeah, Jack's email replies can sometimes be a bit...cryptic.

At least you got a response

The last question I asked him was never answered. Seems to me that he's too busy these days to answer all his email.

Please leave him alone, he has to finish my WA6SE !

about Jack's reply, he may had in mind one 6se that has been modded to be compatible, the only one built that way.

Finally, the Sophia Princess 274B I ordered two weeks ago has arrived at my house.

Can't wait until I am done work so I can test the baby out... hopefully it'll bring about good changes even on my stock WA6; I haven't been too thrilled with my two rectifiers so far, the stock Sovtek (not refined enough and too coloured) and the NU 5U4G (nice flat sound, but... a little TOO boring and too polite in the bottom end).

It might sound a bit boomy in the bass for the first 24 hours, but it improves a lot in the first day and it's completely burned-in by 80 hours.

Thanks for the heads up. I may have to avoid pairing this up with the HD650 for the time being then.

Glenn, was that in connection with the 6sn7 adaptors ?

Perhaps I missed it, but I havent seen any pics of these adaptors in this thread.

Could anyone who has bought a pair of these adaptors care to post a pic?

Wow you have a good memory! Yes it was about the adapters Jack was selling. I never heard anything from him

Well, after a whole night of listening with WA6 + Sophia Princess, all I have to say in short, is...

- OMG Soundstage!
- OMG Separation!

With both my K701 and HD650, I think the Princess is worth its value alone purely for these two things... I never realized how compact and congested the Sovtek and NU tubes before trying out the princess... but they truly do pale in comparison. Princess is pretty much a new experience in immersive soundstage (not only in wideness, but in its 3D depth) and the separation of instruments and notes is fantastic. The mids that simply refused to come out with NU and Sovtek came out in full with the Princess, without sacrificing the Highs and lows in the process. There was no artificial bump in midbass or screecy highs like the Sovteks, yet did not sound totally boring like the NU tube did.

So yes, in all, Sophia made a BIG difference even on my stock, plain Jane WA6. Very happy with the purchase overall. Now, I just hope that it lasts me a while (I did read some negative things concerning its durability in the long run).

Welcome to the club, and I do hope that your Princess lasts long as I am eying this myself for my WA22.

So far 6F8G sound the best, but they hum like crazy ONLY with Sophia Princess 274B. If you plan to use 6F8G, forget the princess.

Hey Glenn, I've asked the price about the 6SN7 adapters weeks ago and got replied from Jack within some days later with quote.

"We do have few pairs of 6DE7 to 6SN7 and 6DN7 adaptors in stock. These were custom made some times ago. It costs $40 a pair + $13 shipping"

Hi tosehee, I have my SP274B in use with 800hrs mark by now and I do hope it will last longer also.
