Thank you for your fast reply!

Well thats kinda sad! wished I could upgrade my drivers more easily.
Wonder if anyone else has WA6-SE with 13DE7's and ugpraded their driver tubes with a positive sonics in sound as a result

You can use a 12SN7 in the 2nd Gen WA6.

EDIT: You'll need an adapter to use the 126SN7 with the Gen 2
The Gen 1 also needed an adapter to use the 6SN7.

Thank you Joseph!
I found 12SN7's on eBay. https://www.ebay.de/itm/12SN7-GTA-G...563481?hash=item33e2b0b499:g:PnwAAOSwMgdX1X8e
Do you know what adapters I need?

Youre welcome.
An 8 pin to 9 pin adapter is needed. Woo has really nice adapters, so contact them and tell them what you need.
Here is the Tube Compatibility Chat for the Gen2 Woo amps.

Got a WA6, wanna get some tubes

Looking at a Mullard GZ34 / 5AR4

But I don't know about the pair of drive tubes. Listening to rock and electronic. The PDF for the WA6 didn't list very many (13FD7, 13DR7, 13EW7, 13DE7 are the only ones not needing an adaptor), and almost all of those I can't find available.

Where did you have the plexiglass covers made?
I currently use a body pillowcase to cover my amps/PSU's.

There is limited tube rolling choices for the 2nd gen. WA6, compared to the 1st gen. WA6.

Anybody knows the difference in sq between 1st gen and 2nd gen?

I just need to know how limited my options with the wa6 are in terms of getting the syrupy tubiness I am striving for.
I might just need to go for something like a bottlehead crack, WA2, and I even heard that the Little Dot II/II+ can give me that which is great considering its cost.
the Little dot as well as the wa2 can also pre-out which is good for my setup as well.

having the wa2 for the last few years i would describe it more as silky smooth. Not necessarily tubey. Very good with my hd800. Ok with some tubes for my lcd2. It’s somewhat limited with low impedance headphones

Has anyone compared the WA2 to the WA6? Different price point i know but from all the reading i did on the WA2 it is often described as rich in tonality and smooth, however soft. The WA6 is said to be warmer and smoother than the WA6SE which is often described as almost SS sounding, hence i'm curious how the WA2 & WA6 compare.

The first Gen takes a 6 series driver tube while the Gen 2 takes the 13DE7 as it's stock tube. Some say this results in less opportunities to tube roll. I have a Gen 2 amp and found lots of available tubes to try.
