Ah thanks for that, I'm glad I asked. I was looking at the 6SN7s but might go for some LinLai or NOS instead.- nathanoakes

Those Sophia tubes look absolutely gorgeous. How do they sound? I've been thinking of picking up a pair for my WA6SE.- nathanoakes

That is quite the nice looking setup! I see you got Woo's headphone stand too. The Utopia is really amazing with the Euforia 😍- nathanoakes

Four is definitely something of a financial commitment at over £400 for the set. I will say that two gold lions as power tubes behind the PSVane 6SN7s really sweetened the treble and extended effects like reverb to my ears so definitely worth it on their own.- nathanoakes

Hey all I picked up the Euforia AE a few months ago to replace a Woo Audio WA6SE that turned out not to be dead afterall. Either way... Upgraded tubes to a matched quad of Genelex Gold Lion KT88 and printed myself a DAC enclosure/amp stand. Originally using the Sennheiser HD800, and...- nathanoakes

Yes, sorry, I meant to say "leading me to believe it's the adapters". The two pairs of 6DN7 are the only tubes I've had that need the adapter, so no :/ I can't find any cheaper ones anywhere either.- nathanoakes

Well this is my second pair of 6DN7s which had the same problem, leading me to believe it's the tubes. Hum is pretty much non-existent with my 6EW7s- nathanoakes

Sup guys, I'm looking to get some advice, since I can't find any conclusive information elsewhere. I have a WA6SE with a Sophia 274b and a pair of 6DN7 drivers. I do my listening through the Sennheiser HD800. I'm noticing a lot of hum that: Is faintly present when the volume is at 0 Gets...- nathanoakes

I'm using the HD800, so quite high impedance. I've messaged the seller of the tubes. Shame they weren't perfect on the first try. Where did you get yours from?- nathanoakes

Yeah, I thought the same about the adapters. It's pretty much a pin to pin conversion, so shouldn't interfere too much. Ahh that's annoying. I guess I'll keep looking :(- nathanoakes

As a side note, does anyone have any experience with the Sylvania 6DN7 on a WA6SE? I just got mine and some tube adapters (Admittedly some cheaper ones from Ebay instead of the Woo ones) and there's a prominent hum to them for some reason. This didn't happen with any of my other power/driver...- nathanoakes

I had the same reaction! I did have a handful of tubes when I bought the amp, among them were a ShuGang 274B, a couple of General Electric (I think) 274Bs, and a Brimar 5Z4G or something like that. I settled on the Brimar being my favourite, and then the Sophia blew me away. I have the...- nathanoakes

Fair enough. I didn't realise most people used his own builds. Cheers for the heads up :)- nathanoakes
