So I'm trying out a pair of Siemens Röhre EF80s with the adapters I had made from Ebay. The Tube in my left channel has some static and crackling when the volume knob is past 8:30ish. I don't have any issue with the right channel or with any other tubes. So, just bad tube? The tube in question sounds great with the volume under 8:30ish. Now I haven' tried swapping tubes or adapters around yet; just put the in to try for the first time.

  • 6J4P
  • 5693

"Warm" Version
  • 6C5
  • 6J5(GT)
  • L63
I hope that helps.

For the power tubes there is also the 2399 (which is the same as the 5998), 6520 which is a higher grade 6AS7G, CV2523. I believe you can do a 6J7/EF34 with an adapter for the input.

There is also a lot more possibilities for the 6C5/6J5 version especially with adapters.

By the way, I did ask the designer to clarify the differences between the "warm" and "bright" version and the bright version is more extended up top and the "warm" version has better vocals.

Going to start wrapping this up. Without bulk pricing, the price is:

$50 per pair + $19 for shipping (for two pair, which is most of you)

If you have 4 pair the shipping is $24 (Mizicke5273).

I'm guessing bulk pricing will be slightly cheaper (shipping won't change).

Keep in mind, I make $0 on this transaction. If you want to purchase, you will be sending funds to the yu king pay pal account and providing me (via private message) the paypal address you used for the transaction and your shipping address. I will then relay the information and provide communication support, tracking information, etc. If you're not happy with the price or anything I've said, let me know, and I'll remove you from the list.

Great! I'm definitely interested. Let's see if you're able to negotiate a group discount. If not I'm still interested. It's been very hard to contact the vendor about these adapters. Two emails no response.

I purchased the "bright" version of this amp through Massdrop. Will the "warm" tubes work in this version?
