Yes, but they are very small ones (diameter) I will measure the diameter. Valves used are Mu-Vista (6112) so I wouldn't be in a hurry to replace them for no particular reason.

Diameter = 16mm approx

I'll give you guys a preview of the X-10D V3 mods. Sorry about some of the pics my camera is a prima donna.

..... as a nut

Aren't they supposed to be fitted with the exquisite exotic erotic NuVista (or is TriVista? ) tubes?

Hows it sound? Can it be fitted inside the XCan? I think these tubes were suppose to be in the XCan 3 originally

Maybe you can fit them inside the XCan and hear how it was originally suppose to sound. Anyway you can't find anoter Vista tube. Weren't they all purchased by MF?

Philips 6112 - "Mu-Vista"

From what I've heard it sounds very good..... airy, smooth, silky and tubey. I won't be attempting to fit it inside the X-CAN as it's not mine, I doubt it would fit inside anyway.

Again, not mine so I won't be desoldering the valves and trying them in my amp. All I can tell you about the 6112 (Mu-Vista) is that it runs finger scorching hot. I believe Musical Fidelity purchased quite a lot of the 6112 but I'm sure you'd still be able to find them elsewhere if you looked hard enough.
