I have my WA6SE arriving next week. I've read a little about upgrading the stock tubes and I'm looking for advice from fellow WA6SE owners on which to go for. Im a newbie with tube amps so any advice would be very welcome!

I currently have the EML 5U4G and the Sophia Princess. They are considered two of the best in production. They have a huge soundstage, but I'm having trouble matching them with my rather bright sounding W11R headphones. However, I'm stilling burning in the EML 5U4G. It's only been about 8 hours. Some of my friends really love the combo of the Princess or EML with my headphones. I guess I'm becoming more and more treble sensitive.
 
I have the Brimar and the Tung Sol 5U4G being shipped.

Thanks for the links! I'm going to give the EML 5U4G a go (my poor wallet). Just waiting for Jack to get some in stock.

OOOO i hope they pair well! Jack told me a few days ago that he's receiving them. He told me to preorder. They should be in by now I think.

Should pair well with the stock tubes shouldn't it?

Review the various Woo Audio threads (search is your friend) - you'll find more than you want to know on the best tubes in these amps.  Most of the discussions are in 2008 and 2009.  No point in rehashing the whole topic.

Why Not?
