596 order update: Together with Keph's new order we're at 6 tubes. Still need 4 to go, Two haven't confirmed yet.
I'm sure you can understand I'll be needing your money first, I'm not going to invest + $800 in tubes who might not get sold
Anyway, we still need 4. As soon as we reach ten, I'll pm all the interested people and confirm shipping costs.
After that, once I get the green light from everyone, I'll order them

imo that is the Computer version of 5998 and somehow looks like a 5998A which i believe Skylab says that its sound is not so good...

Well actually, no, it's not a 5998A. It's a TS7236 (often referred to as 5998 also) of which I have several pair and from that same seller also. Excellent power tubes, dead quiet. They are the absolute pinnacle power tubes in my WA22 imo.
I also got some TS5998 from him too. Very good seller.

I've been swamped at work and am about 15 pages behind in this thread. While I am catching up, here is a picture of my Audiophilleo PurePower that just came tonight. Pardon the dark iPad picture.

I like the stand - what is it and where did you get it?

The 5998A does not equal the brilliance of the TS5998. The former being only an adequate sounding tube, while the latter was a true classic.

for the WA3 and WA2 the 5998 is really the way to go.
6AS7G is decent.  but i've had bad luck with those RCA tubes being noisey
the 6080 just lacks weight
haven't hear the 7236 yet though
 
i should probably offer up a trade at some point for a pair
since im sitting on 6 TS5998 that aren't in use

Can anyone weigh-in with their experiences - TS5998 vs TS7236 inside their Woo's?

 

[Dubstep Girl]

if i remember correctly, when i had the 5998, it seemed to bring out the midrange more on the T1, and added a bit of a bloom to the bass. i like my 7236 more though. 
 
my pair didn't get much listening time because i thought they where broken due to distortion with my lower impedance cans.

Depended on the Woo amp in question really. In the WA2, the TS5998 was the best option, but for the WA22 (most euphonic in the Woo line up), I preferred the TS7236.

Thanks, Dubstep Girl; MacedonianHero. 
 
My custom built 2359glenn amp is an OTL design, so I often take peeks at what WA2 owners are up to. DG, if you liked the 7236 more, in what way may I ask?

 

[Dubstep Girl]

umm i'm not really too sure. i guess because i liked the tighter sound and better neutrality. i like the WA2 being silky smooth and only slightly warm, with a generally more neutral sound to it.

It's a VTI BL series audio rack. I love it and think its an amazing value at $250 with free shipping. There was quite a bit of discussion on it awhile back on this thread so searching the thread might help. I think a couple of members of the thread ended up buying one and liking it as well.

Here is a link...apparently the website changed names. Hope this helps.
