Thanks, any specific brands that are better than others? No need for a matched pair right?
Woo Audio sells matched pairs, big bottle for $52, maybe that's a pretty good deal after all.
Anyone knows if he sells NOS or new producion?

Most all Woo audios are "new production"
I would look into NOS, maybe rcas but you might want to get adapters made to go to 6SN7 much better tubes or even 6f8g adapters which is the top driver tubes to use. Imo.

Will the 6SN7 work well in the WA6-SE too?

There's you a list.
But yes. And a few others with adapters. Like the 6f8g/6c8g

Thanks for the help. Just had a look at the compatibility chart. It says "for WA6 only, with adapter."
So I guess not for the WA6-SE? But apart from the 6SN7, the 6FD7 seems to be a good choice. Any other tubes that would be better for the WA6-SE?

Pretty sure 6f8g will work on wa6se with Glenn's adapters (best driver imo)
Brimar 5z4 are the best (or one of the best) rectifiers.
That's what I use on wa6 have tried most everything.

Awesome, thank you!

Anyone have some closed headphone recommendations that pair well with the WA6?
 
I have the 6SN7 adapters and am willing to try out different tubes if necessary.
 
I have been thinking about picking up some high-impedance DT770s, which I think might pair well. It seems a lot of closed headphones are very low impedance, which I don't think will match very well with the WA6, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I have Fostex th900 and it pairs very well. They are 25 ohm.

Tonight for the first time I'm using the Brimar 5Z4G with the NU-6F8G's in the WA6 > RS1i and right from the start the WA6 is dead quiet! When I use the UE-596 with the NU-6F8G's I have a very slight hum from the NU-6F8G driver/power tubes…I guess the latter have a slight interference with each other?

Are you OK?

joseph, yes I'm okay. Just a little tired from caring for our new music lover. Her name is Ada Susanne, and we couldn't be happier. No I was just wondering wether you used your new tube combo with classical, jazz, blues, or the much maligned of late, owing to the recent for some negative perception of the "Battle Flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia", southern rock?

Is that Grada??? 
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl Ada!  
I was actually listening to some 70's Hits with the Brimar-5Z4G/NU-6F8G's and the WA6 was dead quiet…but with the UE-596/NU-6F8G there is a faint hum through the drivers (nothing serious) but I just found this unusual…I guess there's some interference between the latter of the two.
