The 6J5 need to be run at 6 volts. Switch to that setting on your amp. The adapters run the 6J5s in parallel so they each see 6V.thanks so much!
oh yea, Zachi sent me his spreadsheet. it's awesome, obivously
I'm currently using the Brimar 13D1 and can choose between 25V and 12V for gain on single input tube. So assume I use 12V setting for dual 6J5 with adapter?
now, just need to hunt those down... any specific 6J5 tube you like most?
My favorite is the GEC L63 ST shape with the spiked micas (usually gray glass but clear can be found too). Close second is the 1930's-era engraved base Raytheon 6J5G. Sometimes they're labeled Philco or Sylvania but they were made by Raytheon. Two different plate styles were made and I enjoy them both pretty much equally.
