This am its a GE 5670W in Vali 3. No adapter. This tube rivals my WE 396a's, yup it does. Listening to Walter Hyatt, Schiit MB + dac, HIGH Gain, HE 1000 SE cans...like he is my head. A really awesome experience. Atomic Bob at another site likes this tube alot...has published all the charts and...

Another decent tube for Vali 3. Thanks Tom! Alex

Stop worrying about how people think about things YOU like. You wasting your time.. Enjoy the music. Rad 0's are superlative cans. But human beings are funny at times and we all hear differently... Alex
