1000+ Head-Fier
I know exactly where to turn to on head-fi for the real deal on tubes!
I'm looking at buying a modded CONSONANCE REF 2.2 Linear CDP and one of the mods is to change the stock Sovtek 6H30 to a JJ ECC99. The position of the tube in the circuit is an output buffer. I guess to match impedance between components but I'm no EE. The plan only calls for one. I had always thought the 6H30 - being a modern incarnation - had a pretty good sonic rep.
What differences could there possibly be in changing the tube from a Sovtek 6H30 to a JJ ECC99?
Thanks!
