I'd have to check. I figured we'd never get to 30

[name="bowtung"] I've finally decided to pull the plug for the Woo Audio WA2, I chose it over the WA6SE cause I like the sweeter tube sound, and also the fact that I can use it as a preamp as well. Currently I have a Musical Fidelity M1DAC, do you guys think it would be a good pairing with WA2, or should i probably get a new DAC? Also, do you guys have any experience in pairing the WA2 with power amps? I'm thinking a tube preamp and a SS power amp would be a very good match. I have a pair of B&W CM-1s. ManyThanks.
I have a couple of TungSol 5998s, a bit dodgy (OK in the WA22, but some disturbing sputter/pops on the OTL WA2 during warm-up) and a couple of unmarked Chathams, sold as 5998, but I guess probably 2399s...
Anyway, they're my favourites, so I'd be up for 2-3 (depending on pricing) as well.
Quote:@ Ultrainferno: I say we move to promote/pre-order the next 30 days to get an indication. Even someone like me sitting out on the curb with no use whatsoever for the '2399' (not true) might even jump in to push sales forward.
I'll call the tube guy next week and get back to you with price etc.
@Bob & Ben: The Chatham 2399 = Tung Sol 5998.
Caution: after a fellow member heard the same sputtering and pops for some time, it took out the headphone driver. Happened this winter, in fact.

Yup. Our member's beloved K701. I'm sure our fellow Woozie will be along to speak on it later this evening...
not the first time i've heard of a k701 driver getting fried by an amp.
i still wonder what causes the popping/sputters with WA2 though, i just let it warm up before i put tubes in. only happens with some tubes like 6AS7G and 5998
Sunday, in your honour, I'm going to have a Belgium Waffle with pure Canadian Maple syrup chased by Champagne with a splash of hibiscus.

for a person who is temporary unemployed, you sure live a good life.you must have a lot of cash hidden between walls.
Ready for the snow???As much as I like the TS5998, I prefer the TS7236 a little more.
We're already shoveling! Got to stay ahead...can't just wait 'till it's finished, or we'll be buried. Any way, Yes TS7236 is fine, but I need all of them
