I think I should add this data also:

I tried the Western Electric JW2C51 / 396A with the 6922 Adapter Combo from Tube Depot. The tubes made the preamp go into oscillation. I was getting weird noises out the speakers. Even after removing the tubes the preamp was still in oscillation mode. I would not recommend anyone type these tubes in the art88 preamp.

If I had that particular preamp, I wouldn't even bother with tube rolling. Especially with the ART88! Rather just enjoy the music.

I'd be happy as with whatever version of tooobs Jeff sends in the unit.
I'd be happily woofty woof'n! Not that I'm woof'n right now...
Woof!
