Liquid Platinum Tube Rollers.

I have bro, nice adapter, think it's buy 2 for a pair. Need socket savers as well.
I have a best of list couple pages back, vast majority of these tubes require adapters.
Many thanks. I ordered a pair today and already have the Tubemongers from my Woo Audio days. Do you know if the heater voltage on the LP amp is 6.3 or 12.6? I emailed a guy about making some custom adapters for me and he wanted to know the heater voltage.

Hey gents, I've been getting questions about using 12AX7s or 12AU7s in the Platinum. I highly recommend that you do not do this. These tubes do not fall within any operating region that the Platinum is designed to handle.

Please keep in mind that the LP expects to see 6922s or equivalents (meaning very close operating points). It isn't reasonable to expect that it can take an arbitrary tube type and make it work. While it is not visible to you, what the LP has to do to bring some of these tubes into operation is outside of its safe operating area. As long as you stick to properly operating 6922s it will remain well within its safe operating regime.

Near arbitrary tube rolling is what the Liquid Glass was designed to do. :)

Just thought I would share this from the main thread and the designer of the amp.

I was never into the vanilla tubes, I like my tubes to be chocolate with gooey syrup, nuts sprinkles etc (ECC81,ECC81, 6201) these are the Chocolate variants.
Seems all the borked LP's were are running 6922 variants, go figure.
Missed posting the 2C51, 396A, 6N3P for the Chocolate tubes.

You going to get the last link you posted? If you do, it would be interesting to know what the differences would be between these and the CV491
