cold solder joint on the volume pot. Reflowed and all is right now.

Ronnie James is singing to me from beyond the grave right now!!

This is from the description when I ordered mine. The next day there was only the #4 left (yours). So I had to wait until it arrived before I knew what I had gotten.

Did you get #4 or #9? (Blue number on top of the tube)

OK, now that I have had some time with the JAN5654W I can give you my thoughts. First off for anyone else attempting these be aware they have a gain factor of 70. They are clear and detailed with a wide and fairly deep sound stage. $14 for the adapter and $4 each for the tubes. Not a bad...

Actually 2 steps up. 6N3P>6N3P-E>6N3P-EV>6N3P-DR I have 4 of the EV that are from the Ukraine Oktyabr plant and they are much better than the stock tube.

I think TubeDepot has them also.

As Ansel Adams answered to the question of what it takes to be a great photographer, f/8 and be there.

I am liking them so far. These tubes have been in my stash for about 10 years now. I think I only paid $4 each, that plus the adapter is still less than the Garage 1217 adapter!

I do not have a JAN 5670W...yet.

Yes, but there are 2 of the 5654 and only one of the 5670. So 11308 > 5670!

GE JAN5654W so yes.

Why not?

As much as I wanted to see a Valhalla3 I am super happy with the Vali3.
