PSA I have a basically brand new WA6SE (maybe 150 hours) that I need to move. Kinda hoping to avoid putting an ad up so shoot me a PM if you are looking for a great deal
I know what the Woo site says as far as the 6GL7/6EM7…I tried these tubes due to the description, and returned them due to their amount of bass presence which drowned out all of the detail/high frequencies. Just my opinion, you may like them, I wouldn't know, only you will by trying them.
... the description on the woo website that says you will hear every note with breathing air around it, definitely not true..
yep
they're good tubes, but needs rectifier like 596 to balance that bass out, its a nice synergistic combo, but otherwise, yeah very bassy slightly muddled. i like the 6GL7 but the description on the woo website that says you will hear every note with breathing air around it, definitely not true..
I have bought and tried all the driver tubes recommended for the WA6 from the Woo website. Only the 6SN7 came close to living up to the description given. Someone at Woo got a little intoxicated with the marketing happy juice, I think
There are much better deals to be had elsewhere with NOS driver tubes IMHO.
I got rid of my 6-SE because I love the 6SN7's
Hardcore 6SN7 lovin' - I like it
Yeah, I actually went real crazy, like a fiend buying 7 different NOS tubes before the WA6 even arrived…but at least I was well prepared for the arrival!
talking about hype, what about this one http://www.upscaleaudio.com/philips-5r4gys-made-in-holland/ for the wa6-se ? is it compatible ?
Don't see 5R4GYS on the compatibility chart…but do see 5R4 GA/GB/GY/GYA/GYB so I'm not sure if S is compatible, but I'm sure DG would know!

If looks to be compatible. It says its a replacement for a GZ34 down below in the review. It also says its like a 5U4G by the mfg.

there are in the classifieds some that were paired with the WA6 so i suppose it may be compatible with the SE too?
well since it is a rectifier than it's compatible with the SE for sure, will probably get both that and the Mullard GZ32 / 5V4 branded CV593, hopefully will be worth trying both
