And the same tubes were quiet in pairs so go figure.
Something going on in the circuit. A synergy issue.And the same tubes were quiet in pairs so go figure.
some beautiful pics! WA22 is one of my favorite amps. Love its size and performance.
Just ordered the ecc35/6sl7gt and we421a to go with my eml5u4g for my WA22! Super excited. Now all stock tubes are replaced. Now looking forward to the wkend when both pairs should be in!
I am thinking of getting a kraudio5u4g as another option too. The kr5u4g was the rectifier I wanted but it just didn't work out at the time so I went with the eml5u4g. I am just ready to hear the difference with all the stock tubes out. The ecc35 6sl7gt kinda threw me for a loop because I fidnt see it in the wa22 compatibility chart but I have been told by different ppl on here that it will work.Good tubes are priceless. In a few years time you won’t even find NOS ones even if you are willing to pay.
I would have preferred the GEC U52 in place of the EML 5u4g but hey there are no ugly ducklings here. Just enjoy the music and if the music is still not good enough after those tubes go it, then you need new ears.

@Roasty, what is the best tube combination to use with a Takatsuki 274b in a WA22?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DdsZyTx3CJv9_cG9kVdCGZap-AldiTsvuY4Ms1K_p3k/pubhtml
it is there. 2nd from the bottom, just above vt231 on the WA22 driver section.

I can't speak to the KR 5U4G, but the KR 274B-HD I thought was a touch weak and very clean. Lacking bass impact. My $.02 worth.I am thinking of getting a kraudio5u4g as another option too.

I still prefer the 5998 / 421a variety because it’s more dynamic and lively.
This was the one I had. It has ecc32 on it but not ecc35. I rely on you and ColSaul Tigh for my knowledge. Lol. Both of you have been a tremendous help to me with the recommendations and teaching me what is what. Btw the ones I bought were ecc35 6sl7 gt. Does that make a difference?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DdsZyTx3CJv9_cG9kVdCGZap-AldiTsvuY4Ms1K_p3k/pubhtml
