I use an adapter with the ECC31. Never tried it without an adapter.
My tube collection for the WA22, which started two months ago, and the amplifier with my top tubes: U52, ECC31's and 5998's:
Thanks for the input but you're taking my spend in the wrong direction... Another thread participant reached out via PM and gave me the push I needed. I should have the WA22 later this week. If this works out I can always get the WA5 down the road.End game, I currently own the LCD3, the WA22, and WA5, and before that, I had the WA6SE. I don't have seat time with the 8. Based on your head gear, I would seek out a WA5 and skip the 22. Your cans will benefit from the 5 far more than the 22, and without the hassle of trying to Tube Roll. You can grab a used 5 for near $3k. It is magic with the LCD3 and really with every other can.
Stop it already! You guys are making me feel like I need to upgrade an amp I haven't even received yet! For the record, the nature of this hobby combined with my personality is not a good thing. The "EndGameSearch" name was chosen in jest. There is no "end game". Only periods of contentment (which should last longer than they do) followed by countless hours of research and "logic" based justification.P.s. EndGameSearch'er ... i know this is not in the cards, but to keep you thinking ... I listened to the WA-33 at the NYC Head-if meet, and it was pure magic; the dynamics were out if this world. Talk about a major leap... and 'end game'.
