I get the shakes just thinking about it.
 
I've got some spare tubes that I'll have to move as well.
 
All this being done in the hopes that I can swoop up a 6SE to use with my LCD2's.
The WA2 doesn't get the job done well enough, and is bested by my vintage receivers.
 
Everybody keeps telling me im going to regret it.
and i think they are right as right can be.
But I'll never be able to jump on a WA6SE when one pops up if I don't liquidate the 2.
 
So
this is goodbye

You got a nice start there.  You'll definitely have a hard time sleeping when you get your Woo.  I predict many late night sessions!

Thank you I'll probably have hard time sleeping

I had WA2+T1 Combo I had to sell because of personal issue
Ordered WA6SE and LCD2 from Jack for same reason you have now.
and..... There's WA22 on ebay Oh well....At least I just got shipping confirmation today. I know I'll be happy with WA6SE for a while.

All I can say is...make sure you love your LCDs before kicking the woo2 out the door. I wanted to, tried to, pretended to, and ultimately failed to come to any kind of meaningful relationship with mine. Said good-bye and have never looked back with any hint of regret.

More like relief.

Wow! Congratulations!
 
Also a strange dichotomy with the 300bs hovering above the Blu-Rays. The contrast of very old technology and very new technology.

 
I don't just limit myself to music I also use my Headphone rig for movies. That's why I have a Smyth Realiser with PRIR's from AIX sound studio for any MC audio, like 5.1/7.1 movies. 
 
I got these WE 300B's NOS and they are a match set build date on both (1956 year)56/26(26th week of the year). Nos being measured at 58 these tubes are measured at 79(very strong). I got them from these guys.

Hello,
 
I will soon be an owner of a WA6SE (it's being built, can't wait!).  This will be my first tube amp so I would appreciate for any advice for things to do (or not to do).
 
Just curious, has anyone used tube coolers?  I saw some from Parts Connexion, are they worth a try?
 
Thanks

 

[van41]

why not have both?

if I had spare cash and enough room on my desk, i certainly would!

anyways the LCD2 and the WA6SE with Sophia matches so well together, so you would have no regret once you have it.

My personal opinion-- there are a lot of ways to improve the sound before worrying about tube coolers.  Tubes are designed to run at an operating temperature.  Alter that, and you might mess up the sound.  
 
Rather than spending money on tube coolers, I'd invest in some different tubes instead of trying to control the heat.  The WA6 and WA6SE respond well to the GZ series rectifier tube.  There are a ton of tube rolling suggestions for that amp right here at Head-Fi!

Congrats! The WooAudio WA 6 Special Edition (ahem...we got ours in black) was my very first vacuum tube amp as well.

WA6-SE was my first tube as well!

Great insights!  I haven't thought the coolers could adversely affect the operation temperature, and thus the SQ.  I was thinking of tube longevity.
 
I included the Sofia 274B in the order along with the stock rectifier.  I'll add the GZ to my list.  Let's start the tube rolling!
 
Mine will be in black!  Someone did prove that black sounds better than silver, yah? lol

My WA6SE and LCD2 just got here along with 6FD7 and Sophia 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Currently WA6SE has noticable back ground noise after 10 o'clock of volume control with all tubes. I hope it is part of burn in process...
Well so far here's another happy Woo Listener

 

[binot]

Nice!!!.. How do you find it with the HD800..? I might be considering that as my next phone for my WA2

 

[senson]

I really like HD800 with 6FD7 and Sophia it is not harsh and has enough bass for me.
I think it would be much smoother with WA2.

Sorry Im a tube newbie..having just bought the WA2 myself... The 6FD7 are the power tubes? What kind of tubes are the Sophia's... ?
 
I'll be considering tube rolling soon... given how good I think the stock setup is.. I wonder if the difference will be huge if the stock tubes are changed out..
