No,no resistors. Its the same design as Ken's,just has screws as opposed to glue.

Good no inferno inside the adapter.
Were the Chinese adapter makers go wrong is if you do the math it has to dissipate 4 watts of heat so they put two 2 watt resistors in series to fit in the adapter .
In order to dissipate 4 watts you need a 8 to 10 watt resistor and that won't fit in the adapter,
They don't care if it lasts a couple of months it's all good. That also cooks the glue at the base of the tube.

Yes, I love the 6J5! I would say it is top three if not number 1 for me in the GOTL as far as drivers go. The grey shouldered MOV L63 is incredible, as are the Fivre 6C5G...and the Visseaux 6J5G...and the Tung-Sol, and the RFT..and, and...

Are the 6C5G compatible with GOTL using the 2x6J5 --> 6SN7 adapter?
(6C5G are not in my compatibility table. Yet...)

Yes

You know, as I was typing that, I was thinking "Isn't this what @leftside is doing exactly?". Sorry I am a copycat, I'll have to pick your brain and see how you like it.

Leftside started this trend of going down the supremo custom build rabbit hole. Had it not been for him, Berlin would have just been a band and 'Taking My Breath Away' would just have been the theme song of Top Gun that propel Tom Cruise to super stardom and Kelly McGillis was the hottest girl then.

Now Berlin will be a headphone tubeamp and one of my new bucket list is to visit Berlin and go to the remnants of the old Telefunken factory in the hope that I might pick up a vintage Telefunken badge.

You can throw the 6P5G in there as well, will work with the same adapter. Thanks, Z.

So one more time, Berlin ! One of my favourite movie of all time.

You know there is a sequel coming out next year? Hopefully it doesn't suck! The trailer looks pretty cool. We live in an era of intense nostalgia, every notable franchise will be revived and squeezed for every last drop of $ by Hollywood.

The sequel will be for your next amp haha. Wow the sequel trailer looks good. There you go. You have a name for your amp - Maverick !

Hi UT,
After the end of World War II the Allied forces occupied West Berlin. This occupation lasted throughout the Cold War. The Berlin-Brigade was a term used to describe the brigade-sized garrison forces.
McNair-Barracks occupies the site of the former AEG Telefunken electronics factory.
After the reunification of Germany, the Berlin-Brigade was no longer necessary and it was deactivated in 1994.

On the compound of McNair Barracks there is the private McNair Museum. It is open for public visitors. You don´t need to buy a ticket, its free. The museum was located in the building of the former Rod & Gun Club, in 2006 it had to move. Its new home is in building 1001H.
Then:

Now:

I don't think that you will find anything from the past....

This is the build I'm going for, and haven't changed my mind since coming up with the 6J5 + 6V6/EL34/KT66/KT77 idea. My only question to @2359glenn is 4 6V6/EL34/KT66/KT77 or 2 6V6/EL34/KT66/KT77, and whether it would be worthwhile to have a 6V6/EL34/KT66/KT77 selection switch?

They all use the same impedance output transformer.
Guess could switch for the different cathode resistors Kt77 470 ohm KT66 500 ohm EL34 130 ohm 6V6 180 ohm.
This way they will all be operating at optimum operating point.

Mordy our love for tubes takes us back to the past of historic significance. Someday I'll come across a tube that takes me to Normandy.

Slight typo: I meant 6L6/EL34/KT66/KT77 and not 6V6/EL34/KT66/KT77, although 6V6 as well would be great

This should be exciting for those after this build. There's also the 5881 tube. This one caught my eye much earlier because it reminds of IBM tubes used in early years computer tape drives.

My son has a Fender's guitar amp and it uses 6L6. Says it's great ! for guitar amps that is.

It's interesting how I change my preference from 6v6gt to 6v6g and back again. The 'gt' has better definition and a tighter tone. The 'g' version has more bloom and nice texture. It's a good contrast even in the same family of 6v6 tubes.
