Yes, it is as good if not better than EML 5U4G at a fraction of the cost.  It is very hard to find but it is worth every pennies if you can find one.

1 pair - Raytheon 6DE7 skinny bottle  
1 pair - GE 6DE7 skinny bottle 
1 pair - GE 6EW7 big bottle
1 pair - "Generic" USA 6FD7 big bottle

In the last two weeks, got my hands on a few (USAF-596). Just passed one through grokit's hands. Will seek to get Clayton SF & wotts one next...

 
My focus now is on adapters for them.

Just got my WA22 today; bought it from cacatalysis. It came FAST; so fast, that I can't even use it. My DAC, tube adapter, and balanced cables aren't here yet I can't describe how brutal it is to not be able to use it

I may not have noticed it until now since I don't fiddle with the volume alot, but there seems to be crackling on the left channel of my wa22 as I turn the volume knob up and down one step.  Any ideas as to what may be the cause?
 
Thanks in advance.

That's normal actually (when turning the volume knob up/down). But once you settle in the volume it goes away.

Alright, so who's going to start the USAF 596 loaner program now that so many of us have backups of backups

Well, my goal is to secure another adapter; will send out the Mighty 596 for a second tour...to a limited group, to be sure. 

 It is my hope that others will contribute as well. Say like, mine gets BLOWN UP! Gonna need help replacing that bad boy.
