Rob, what differences are you hearing when you are rolling the 2399's vs the 5998's?
Got an email back from Jack today about my blown EML. He said for me to send it back to him and it will be replaced under warranty. I'm really glad he backs up his stuff.
Was anything mentioned about the WA22, possibly being the cause?
One thing I noticed today, even thought the blue light was still flashing on start up, there was sound coming out of the headphones (I had forgotten to turn the volume down as I usually have it at zero when turning it on). I know you still get sound from the amp even when shutting down, and it's turned off, but I was a bit surprised to hear something on start up.

Here are a few glamor shots of the WA22, with the tube selection I have settled on, for now anyway:
Does anyone have any experience with the 2399 Chatham? A rebranded TS 5998 supposedly?
Are they identical, and if not, any differences I need to be aware of?
Its for my WA3.
Rob, I'm a bit surprised to hear you say the WA22 is too lush with the 5998s in place. Since they lean a bit more towards SS than a 6AS7G I was figuring they'd strike a good balance with the LCD-2. I like lush, but have found that there is definitely such a thing as too lush, which makes me wonder if my WA22 customization plans are the best choice (swapping the coupling caps for Mundorf Silver-in-Oils and the filtering caps for Elna Silnics). I don't want to mellow the amp out too much, since my favorite 6SN7 lean to the dark side anyway.
Keep the impressions coming though! I, and I'm sure many others, would love to hear more.
