Congratulations on the win. You deserve it.

my 6n1p's arrived today, should have the r2 swapped at the weekend.

I order 4 tubes, but i received 16 (8 6n1p's and 8 6n6p's......no idea why). anyone have any ideas for the others? could build an aikido preamp? or maybe a valve otuput stage for the dac?

you want my address

£8 for 16 tubes, and the 61np's ae the eb version. not bad!

I contacted the seller, heard nothing back. I expect its not worth the shipping costs to return.

Do Regal's mod for sure. If you want to roll tubes...then socket R2. Then you can roll from 6922 to 6N1P to 6H30 with ease.

Pabbi, the amp has been carefully packed up with the phones, tubes and gender cables. The package goes out USPS priority on Friday. We will be anxiously awaiting the news of it's arrival.

Ok, this has been quite a while, but my local surplus guy has these at $1 each - he doesn't do net, but I will offer them up to Bijou builders at cost & postage. I got 10 for starters, and can get 20-30 more in short order.

I think they are $7-10 each from the eBay vendor.

Obviously, Ron gets all he wants an NO charge...

 

[JamesL]

Why not. I'll take a pair.

I'll run by tomorrow and pick up all he has, so we'll know what is available in total... I will also post a pic tonight to be sure we are all agreeing it is the correct thing before I go too far...

 

[adamus]

right gents... a question for you.

I have the Rcore transformer, so i can use 12.6v tubes, or 6.3v tubes.

I have two 8416's and lots of 6n1p's. Both require modifications and work. Which shall i go for?????

 

[willisv]

Why don't you try the 8416's first? The mod is very easy, no cathode resistor change and runs good on stock power suppy. swap a couple of wires, plug them in and listen. If you like them add a resistor to fine tune the voltage, it won't hurt them to run at a higher voltage for a short time.

 

[adamus]

good advice. Shame no one has tried both.

 

[amphead]

Pabbi, your package was sent at 2:00 PM today USPS priority. Should be there Monday, and Tuesday at the latest. Some tubes are wrapped in newspaper and tucked inside the case, while the larger ones are in bubble wrap, also inside the case. There is some Nabu carton styrofoam protecting the L/R volume knobs. They allowed me to use their priority tape, so I put lots of tape on the critical stress points. Let's hope they haven't hired Jim Carrey to deliver. I have my fingers crossed.

I'll take several or more depending on what everyone else wants.
