I would try them. I have no clue about in the WA2, but in every other amp I have that uses rectifier tubes, they definitely make a difference, and those Amperexes are some nice tubes I bet.

The space looks tight for their bases and I have a bunch of 6080s. Want to make sure they fit, if not, order the extender or more 6AS7 tubes before my WA2 arrives. Thanks in advance. Jes |

If I wanted to get a tubey sound what tube should I use for power? 6080, 5998, 6AS7 maybe... Also what brand of tube? Oh yeah, and nother bump/reminder to anyone who has the current version of the WA2, can you please post internal pics so we can get some insight as to what was done (and post impressions). |
