Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
Yes to both. 6CG7… I'd reccy a Matsushita. 5760… Tesla 6CC42 Overall, I'd rate the 6CG7 as the best "no adapter required" choice for the Vali2- Mr Trev

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
That was my thought initially, especially since I need to double-dapter to use them. Talking with some other users, and they didn't have the issue (@LobalWarming I think you chimed in bout this once). After reading that Schiit Happens writeup about the Vali3 and seeing how they explained the...- Mr Trev

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
The low noise floor would be probably the biggest selling point for me to upgrade my V2. IIRC, Schiit made some improvements to the internal power supply during the upgrade to the V2+. More improvements carried over to the V3. So apparently it's a bit more than just the wall wart. Some tubes...- Mr Trev

Least the Vali doesn't take up much real estate. Heck, there are single tubes bigger than this amp- Mr Trev

I was just wondering if anybody had gone down the 6DJ8 road. On this point, does anybody smarter than me know what the max plate voltage for 6dj8s are? From what I remember it was only round 100v in the first place- Mr Trev

Nah, just more tubes. A couple (or 3) of those Schiit Voltwankers should do the trick. Probably need to invest in a portable AC unit if you go that route tho…- Mr Trev

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
This makes me sad that my RFT broke. Even sadder when I saw how much the prices have shot up since I bought mine ~2 years ago Regardless, the 12AU7 is a good tube for the Vali - I'd totally recommend getting adapters for them- Mr Trev

<cue Hank Hill> "That amp ain't right" I still get a tiny bit of a pop plugging in my cans after turn on, but nowhere near as loud as if I leave them plugged in in the first place.- Mr Trev

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
Not a tube issue. I think it has to do with the muting circuit disengaging before the amp fully warms up - something along those lines anyway. I talked with a guy ages ago and he suggested that I could replace one of the internal caps with a bigger value - lengthen the time it takes before the...- Mr Trev

I don't think anybody mentioned it yet, but did Schiit finally get that gawd-awful pop when you turn the amp on sorted out? I know with my V2 I don't dare put my headphones on until after I hear the relay click - probably shouldn't even have the cans plugged in TBH- Mr Trev

My V2 plays well with 12AU7s. I gotta imagine the V3 will too - probably even better considering the lower noise floor (esp. with the higher gain flavours)- Mr Trev
