I never liked Audioquest power cords, they don't do much. I like Soundstring power cords which do make a difference and are a great value. I haven't got one for my amp yet, but I need to.

Man I am so bummed, took delivery of a new black WA 6 SE last Monday and have been loving it so far. So yesterday I attempted to do some tube rolling (6DR7 to the stock 6EW7 just for grins) and boom, right channel goes out.
Swapped tubes back, checked source, nothing seems to work. Can't believe it. Sent a note to Woo but being a Saturday did not really expect a reply. Heaters are still working, and there is not much in the signal path.
Hmm..

That sucks, sorry to hear. Hopefully you will get it sorted out. It will be worth it

Jack's a busy guy so sometimes communication gets delayed esp since I think he's still at an audio show.
 
At any rate, past experiance has shown he does take care of his clients so I have no doubts he'll take care of you too. =D

I hope I find out what caused the right channel to fail after only a few days of operation.
I am not sure I agree that I need to pay for return shipping on a warranty issue. But I am anxious to get it fixed for sure. It goes back tomorrow.

more tube rolling, found a really fun combination for HE-500
 
Mullard GZ34 black base + 6GL7.
 
makes them really bassy and fun sounding with a more forward sound. its a good thing since the HE-500 should be my fun headphone, not the super detailed or resolving one (HD 800 and T1)

Thanks, I might need to start finding EML tube.
For hd800, atm I use westinghouse 6dr7 and sophia princess (my one and only non-stock rectifier until I receive usaf596 next week).
Otherwise, I use burson Soloist, which surprisingly quite good with hd800.

 
Where are you all getting these 596s and adapters?

I ordered them from Jack Woo

listening using 6FD7 and EML 5U4G right now with my LCD-2, i can't decide if its better than the mighty 596/6LG7 combo or not, but i like how it sounds! 
 
interestingly, im finding the same combo i thought was good on hd 800 (eml + 6fd7) to be a little edgy now 

 
 
6CY7 and 6DE7 incoming as well

Hi guys, so it appears that I am on my second set of 6EM7's + USFA 596 combo.

The new 6EM7's seem to be having another problem.

My first set blew up and now the second set started sounding horrible after a week of use (kind of a buzz/crackling sound).

My first tubes 6EW7 + Sophia Princess lasted years!

It looks like I might have to go back to that combination.

Is this common with the 6EM7 + USFA 596 combo?

Tonight I will try another set of 6EM7's (I bought 3 sets when the first set blew).

Kinda bummed.

I normally run 6EM7+596 ok!

I hope that 3x's is a charm.
