I need to get some telefunken and test out my adapters.

Is there a way to check by buzzing the pins or something. I'm not really brave enough to just plug it in. D

Not sure there even is a 6C5 adapter by yuking is there? The only one listed on his website is 6JP4 to EF, unless its hidden somewhere. I'll send him an email. Find out once and for all.

I have the same spec amp and also the adapters. I got no idea however what tubes (if any) are compatible with them. I ordered them originally before I even realized there were two specs of amp (I thought the two variants just came with different stock tubes). The adapters themselves are...

It's def a great amp. :D   Yes my amp is the 'other' spec one. L63, 6C5, 6J5 etc... Not many people seem to have it, so it's a little harder finding tube recommendations.   I have the DAC also now. Went for a Chord 2Cute. Seem to be an awful lot of good reviews. Bit pricey though. I won't be...

Yes it was ordered directly from his website. Not sure if it was express or normal (can't even remember if there there was an option). It has the original box etc... I think normally it would be fine but with the rigours of shipping stuff half way around the globe I guess the risk of damage is...

  Sorry I just saw your post. It got lost in all the pictures. :D   Sort of a slight harshness on the edge of the music notes.... I think it might have just been playing music before the tubes warm up actually. I now warm them up for 15 mins beforehand.   Just trying out G&E L63 and Thomson...

OK I removed the plate and took some photos. I might re-flow a few of the points but most of them look OK to me, if not as tidy as the custom variants. Need a decent soldering iron first. Mine current one is crap.                  

Yea I got some of those as well. :D   They are all NOS tubes though, so I need to burn them in before I swap them around.   No I didn't take pictures of the inside. I will do if I open it again.   Yea was quite lucky it was only the switch. I think proper polystyrene packing like big brand...

  I have same spec amp and HD800's. Only got it yesterday though. When it arrived it had a couple of smashed tubes and one of the power switches was broken. Not just cosmetic either, the thing didn't work.      I ordered a new switch yesterday (KCD1-104 6Amp 250V 10Amp 125V if anyone is...

I got a pair of RCA JAN 6AS7G Black Plate.    Also those cheapish Thompson 6080WA.

Amp arriving Friday.    Got my supply of tubes ready to go. ;)

  Yes that is particularly important in my case, since the L63 etc.. only have 6 pins (as I'm sure you are already aware). Kind of makes it easier to match tubes. ;)

Cool thanks. I think I worked out its the US/euro one on the left that is correct. But will have a read.

I got a question about tubes. I'm looking for alternatives for any of the following driver tubes that are compatible with my (yet to arrive) amp:   6C5, 6J5, 6J5G, 6J5GT, L63   So I just had a quick browse through the following document:  ...
