Holy, listening to some Tiesto right now and the bass I'm hearing right now is great

I'm able to turn up the volume on the WA7 more than I was able to before. Anything after 9 o clock was fatiguing before. Now I can get it to about 10 o clock or a little past that and the bass is just thumping! Awesome lol.
 
Anyone running their WA7 on a surge protector should try running straight to the wall and see if you notice a difference as well.

Buying this for my WA7, will compare to with it plugged into this, my standard surge protection, and the wall (I'm wary about the wall since the power source/building is very very old)

I have not tried the iUSB but a very very reasonable alternative I bought 2 of is the HiFiMeDIY USB isolator.

It is a passive isolator with power filtering so not quite the same as the iUSB but it does not need separate power and is a lot cheaper and sounds great.  I would love to see some electrical performance specs comparing the two but for the price and convenience and compactness it is definitely worth it.
 
They sell a Async Sabre DAC too with also includes a USB->optical converter which I have a couple of is also very nice.  Great sound from the DAC.  I use one at work for the DAC to drive the WA7 and the other at home for the optical to drive my HeadRoom Ultra Amp.

Hard to beat the price on either unit.

The UM Miracle + WA7 (Golden Pins) is just super!! the Treble and Bass is there where the mids which usually few people called dry just went super mids!!! really nice <3 WA7 can fix anything :3​

  anyone tried mixing the tubes?
1 sovtek and 1 EH gold? I wonder if this would make it more warm yet balanced.

sound crazy O-o!! usually identical tubes what people should go for right? unless there is few amps that got a certain mix etc, this is my 1st tube amp so i don't know.

omg, you guys should try this!
I just mixed the tubes, EH gold on the left and sovtek on the right.
 
It now has huge deep bass yet clear extended highs and soundstage.
tremendous!

i dont want the bass to be deep, i like it to be tight, for the highs i like it to be extended to the max yes, yet i assume you gained more mids right?  

but how come the Treble still extended although you took out one EH tube? cause two x EH is extended, but are you saying it was the same?

So, if it's one tube per channel, wouldn't the sound be unbalanced?​
