If all you want is sub bass rumble, sell the WA2 and buy some crappy beats headphones and a BOSE stereo!
I actually do have another amp that gives significantly more bass rumble, I was just wondering if tube rolling can really add to the WA2.
The WA2 soundstage is the best I've heard from an amp & that's just from stock tubes. I just want to add that rumble on the low end that the stock WA2 can not produce.
BTW I did read through this entire thread.
Everyone agrees that the Tung-Sol 5998 are the best for the power tube selections?
I read like 80 different posts basically all agreeing to that.
A few did recommend TungSol & GEC 6AS7G as a alternative, though the ratio of people favoring the TS 5998 is overwhelming.
The best Rectifier tube isn't so unanimous.
Brimar, Telefunken or Mullard EZ80 (does the difference in manufacturer make that much of a difference).
Also Siemens, Telefunken E88CC has been mentioned as being a step up.
Then someone said the 1975 Reflektor 6n23p was by far the best.
Then recently in the thread, there was talk of using 6SN7 to ECC88 adapters to get even better options.
So the 6SN7GT rectifier tubes are generally more powerful than the E|Z80 & E88CC?
