Yeah definitely. IMHO proformance is the result of all of the small details.
Hi Robert can you check PM if you have a spare minute? Appreciated 🙏

Love it. Looks fantastic! The Testors paint makes me wonder if you have a model airplane collection?
When I was seven / eight…

Just ordered the 274B Sophia Mesh Plate Tube from Woo Audio before the WA6 2nd Gen comes. Really excited about this

Would the WA6 2nd Gen have enough power to listen to ZMF Verite Open or would i need to upgrade later on to WA6-SE? Would i have to max out the volume or would that not even be enough. Curious what you all think
I have the WA6 1st Gen….and a number of 300 ohm ZMFs (Aeolus through Eikon). Set the impedance switch on the back to high; you will be fine. While the ZMFs have high nominal impedance, they are rather efficient.

The WA6-SE Gen 2 has separate High Z and Low Z outputs. Should have plenty of juice to drive them, just use the High output.

WA6-SE (gen.2) has plenty of juice to power most headphones, great with my sensitive Audeze 4z. Dead quiet, no hiss or hum.

USAF "Mighty" 596 w/ Woo Audio Adapter- saw you own this one. What's your thoughts on this tube? Would love to snag it at some point
Here is a picture of my WA6 (‘Sixilla’)…

with the USAF, you should get the Woo 596 => 5U4 adapter ($150) - exquisitely made. The 596 is a great choice - a good complement to my usual Brimar CV1863.

Actually, I own two:

They are becoming harder and harder to find, so if you can, I'd definitely recommend getting one. As @jonathan c said, get the Woo Audio adapter - very well built and look fantastic.

Can't go wrong with the Mighty 596!

Thank you so much Jonathan was abut worried there for a second
I was literally just listening to first gen WA6 with Verite Open 2 minutes ago. Plenty of power and with the right tubes sounds amazing!
