Very nicely explained Mr Brent. I agree with everything you said. My 3 pairs of 6SN7 sound better than all of my other 6DE7 type tubes
And a question for WooAudio gurus, i've read a lot of comments about how good 6SN7 tubes sounds in this amplifiers, but never read a comparison of 6FD7 tubes with 6SN7, My preffered drive tube right now is a pair of RCA 6FD7 fat bottle, silver top, from circa '56, I would love to know how it compares to best 6SN7 tubes or with Shuguang Treasure CV181z, could someone compare the two? I would like to see that, thanks!
Could someone direct me to tubeUSA order page for the EML 5u4g mesh? Not sure if I have the right site. They do ship internationally right?
I noticed some positive endorsements for the Herbie's tube dampers. I'm thinking about getting some and can't decide between the Standard UltraSonic models or the new UltraSonic Rx models. A significant amount of $ can be saved going with the Standard model (about 40%). Does anyone have experience with either / both and can give a recommendation? Would you spend 40% more for the new model if buying quite a few of the dampers? I have a combination of straight and bottle shaped tubes if that makes a difference in effectiveness .. sound, fit, etc (TungSol 5998, GEC 6AS7G, Sylvania 7236, etc). Thanks.
I use the Guitar Amp Ultrasonic 50 on my power tubes. Work well. Saved $10 per damper. It's just my opinion that if a tube is moderately microphonic, a cheap damper will help. If it's super microphonic, nothing will totally cure it. It's better to put money into a new tube rather than covering up the symptoms of a bad tube.

Hi,
out of curiosity (I will get a Woo 3 next week), how much have you paid for customs?
Thanks
