Hi folks! A bit new to tubes and had a question: As I look through various tube 2A3 variants, I see 2A3C and 2A3-T. Are any of these compatible? Trying to better understand the range of options, and not seeing these variants on the Woo compatibility charts.

Also, I noticed some mentioning they like/prefer the sound of a 300B 2.5V power tubes, but I also see Woo recommends against using them with a WA33. Are they safe to use? Any pros/cons to consider if they are safe?

Thank you.

Aside from 1266 and Susvara, what headphones is having great synergy with WA33?

Meze Elite comes to mind

As it works well with both Sus and 1266, I would think most anything. Obviously the Diana as well.

Utopias are the first to come to mind.

lately I have been having some very good listening experiences with the HD800S and the WA33
Given the well publicised sound signature of the HD800S, i think it provides a very nice alternative to the sound I am already getting with my Abyss TC.

Unrelated to headphones - but I’ve been doing this for the past couple days. I’m waiting on a Pass Int 60, but my dealer gave me a Krell Vanguard loaner in the meantime. Sounds great with Woo Wa33 as pre!

Any headphone I've connect to it, but the Utopia are my favorite pairing.

Can you guys recommend good XLR interconnects and power cables at a reasonable price for WA33?

Thank you.

For me, the HD800S is still a top 10 headphone. I enjoy mine on a regular basis.

I'm using the Naim Unity Atom HE at the moment to drive my Utopias, Stellias and Diana V2s. I have my eyes firmly set on the KTE Serene (or Bliss depending on when it comes out) as a second desk system.

Now to my question. Would it be completely insane to think that running the Naim Pre Outs into a WA33 to get more umph and get into tube cycling? The Naim Pre-out is pure Class A and sounds wonderful. Would love to get your thoughts.

Anyone can recommend a place to buy the WE 417a driver tubes? Prices online are all over the place. Should I try to get them on Ebay? Or is that too much of a risk?

Thanks

I got mine on Ebay. Seller provided measurements and had great feedback. I have no issues buying tubes on Ebay. I bought my RCA 2A3 quad on Ebay also.

Just picked up a ps audio powerplant 3. I was wondering if I'd have plenty of head room (wa33 and may kte) and what reasonable priced power cables people are using. I'm sure I'm good on head room. I currently use a ifi supernova cable for my wa33 but hear they don't work well with the ps audio powerplants.
