ardilla,
 
I spent several hours with the Cary SLI-80 using my HD650's. I have never had an opportunity to try a Woo WA2. How would you compare them as headphone amps?
 
Thanks!

Hey all, I have a question on vintage rectifiers for the WA6SE. Are there any sonic differences between the GZ 32, GZ 34 & GZ37 tubes? What are the top tubes to look for?

Never tried GZ32.
 
GZ34, very dynamic and good bass
GZ37, slightly wider soundstage and softer

Small update re: my 5998 (mis)adventure: after some tube swapping it turned out to be one tube only. More worryingly though, it happened with the volume all the way down too, so that's obviously no help.
 
The good news is that I did my usual +1 spare purchase (when possible & affordable...) so I have a working pair after all. The bad news is that the store replied that I got the last 3 ones and the 5998s have become difficult to find, so they just issued me refund for the defective one.
 
So that means I'll have to treat my preciousssss like friggin' raw eggs. As an alternative, I just got a well-matched pair of Sylvania 7236s (no spare -_-;:wink: and after the initial warmup they fortunately seem to be OK.

does anyone think the Mullard GZ34 plastic / metal base are better than the Sophia princess on the WA6SE.. considering some rolling but don't know if its worth it.
 
-btw sorry sure this question has been asked, just couldn't find an answer with a search-

When I had the WA6 maxxed and WA6SE, IMHO, the metal based GZ34 is the best rectifier (beating both EML and Sophia)
