The Asgard and the Woo are two different animals. The Asgard is ok for its purpose. It's connected to my Mac Mini via a first gen Modi DAC. I have 20,000 MP3's that I can access. It's more for convenience when I'm not critically listening. The Woo is connected to my CD player. The Woo's...

My 9 year old WA6 is still going strong. Still very satisfied with it.

I've never tried 6SN7's in my WA6. Are they that much better than 6DE7's, 6EW7's, and 6FD7's I have in stock?   Driver/Output: (8) NOS RCA 6DE7 w/shield (4) NOS Westinghouse 6DE7 w/shield (2) NOS GE 6DE7, (2) NOS Sylvania 6DE7 (4) NOS Sylvania 6EW7 Fat Bottle Clear Tops (2) NOS GE 6EW7 Fat...

Oh Schitt! Looks like I'll be spending more money! Thanks Jason!! Modi 2 Uber here I come!

Sure is. I still own the Teac 2300S :)

I've never had any problems with my D2000's. BTW, I've owned mine for 5 years now. That being said, I'm very careful with my gear.
