Good to know but changing the heater is not for the faint of heart ? Doesn't the 12AU7 require higher on the heater and put out less gain than a 6DJ8?
Plus..I have one on the way...
But as I have said time and time again...okay.,.maybe once but what I have said is, these will sound different on different systems. They may have similar qualities (such as detailed, forward mids, etc.) but can also diverge depending on the system. Example, I found the amperex globe a bit bass heavy but still agreed it was detailed, forward mids, wide soundstage...etc.
So what I am saying is, not everything is guaranteed...I still want to try a 7308..but I just have to cool it for a while..I can get a bit OCD on tubes ..but you guys would not know what that's like.,..right ? LOL
Lwrs10...can you post the process for making this work with 12AU7,,I have some beauties I would love to try...Thankstie
tie pin 4 and 5 together on the 12au7, connect to pin 4 on aune.
connect pin 9 on 12au7 to pin 5 on aune.
Um..no...LOL
An adapter would be nice
If the price is affordable
Somewhere around 10 bucks I bet would be ok.

Tube types that will work with Aune T1:
6DJ8, ECC88, 6922, E88CC, 7308, 6N23P, 6N27P, 6N11, 6N1P, 7DJ8, PCC88, ECC189, 6ES8,
E188CC, ECC86, 6GM8, PCC189, 7ES8, Cca, CV2492, CV2493, CV10320, CV5231, CV5354,
CV5358, M3624, CV4108, CV5331, CV5464, CV5472, CV8065, CV9838, CV10320, CV10403
6FW8, ECC85 6AQ8, 6L12, B719, PCC85 & 9AQ8->some may sound distorted due to underpowered 9V heater,
6BQ7A, 6BZ7, 6BS8, 6BK7B->some may not work probably due to "too high" mA current draw,
6SN7, 5692, 12AU7, 5814, 6189W, 12AT7*, 6201*.
Pending tube types (need to be tested & confirmed): ECC180, 6BC8, 6BZ8, 8BQ7A

Tubes marked in green are tube types that I personally (and some other users) have tried with Aune T1 and seem to work with no problems.
Tubes marked in blue are tube types that other users have tried with Aune T1 and seem to work with no problems.
Tubes marked in orange are tube types that have been tested by some users but some of them did not work.
Tubes marked in red are tube types that require custom socket adapter to work. * means that it has too high gain and
volume output level should be reduced from PC control panel.
6SN7 > 6DJ8 socket adapter:
6SN7 -> 6DJ8
Pin 1 -> Pin 2
Pin 2 -> Pin 1
Pin 3 -> Pin 3
Pin 4 -> Pin 7
Pin 5 -> Pin 6
Pin 6 -> Pin 8
Pin 7 -> Pin 4
Pin 8 -> Pin 5
Pin 9 is not used.
12XX7 > 6DJ8 socket adapter:
Pinout to use a 12xx7 tube.
Tie pins 4 and 5 together on the 12xx7, then that goes to pin 4 on 6922 side.
Pin 9 goes to pin 5.
Well.....here is the summary of the 12xx7 compatibility.
12AU7.....works well, sounds good, no distortion. Also tried 5814 and 6189W, which is the military ones. So far my Pilot labelled Mullard sounds very sweet. So does that 6189W....
12AT7......Works, but too much gain. You can run it half volume on the computer, then turn the volume up louder on the Aune. Also tried a 6201......same thing.
12AX7.....No-go all the way around. Too much gain.
5751.......No-go. Too much gain.
