I have read it... twice in fact, but still am not clear on this question regarding tubes with the adapter for the 6C5 variant. It seems that most if not all the info is for the 6J4P variant. And these won't work in mine right?
Would really appreciate some advice. thanks

I'm using HD 650's and a Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo ARTMSOLO 360I  DAC.
For tubes I have : 2- sylvania 2399, 2- TS 5998, 4 RCA 6As7G and the stock tubes. I'm waiting on some CV1067 6J5G's; one is branded Zenith, the other Super Silvertone.
Thanks for the welcome,

I have the same spec amp and also the adapters. I got no idea however what tubes (if any) are compatible with them. I ordered them originally before I even realized there were two specs of amp (I thought the two variants just came with different stock tubes). The adapters themselves are specifically labelled as:
 
1 pair of EF86 tube adapters for 6J4P/6SJ7/5693/6Ж4С La Figaro 339
 
This suggests they might not work at all with 6C5 spec of amp. Best person to ask is the boss man himself. I was meaning to ask him myself, but haven't got around to it yet.

In post 3171, mesh-plate Telefunken EF86s were mentioned. Do you know if they will work or was she just stating that she was trying them in her variant?

Here are some that will work, http://www.diybuy.net/thread-388350-1-1.html

Yuking didn't start offering the 6C5 model on the web site until recently.  Before, they were all 6J4P models.  There were some users who converted their 6J4P to use the 6C5 and they posted some reviews/opinions on various 6C5 and equivalent tubes (6C5/6C5C/L63, etc).  
 
You mentioned you have a 6J4P to EF86.  I would double check that because you're contradicting yourself (you can't have both 6C5 and 6J4P).  I think perhaps you mean 6C5 to EF86 adapter.  For EF86 tubes try: valvo / mullard / amperex mesh plates, telefunken, even the Russian ones on ebay for cheap are supposed to be pretty good.

Not sure there even is a 6C5 adapter by yuking is there? The only one listed on his website is 6JP4 to EF, unless its hidden somewhere. I'll send him an email. Find out once and for all.

I wasn't saying that I had both versions but that most of the threads have been about the 6J4P. As you can see I don't know much about tubes, only that love how they sound!
Will an EF86 work in the 6C5 model?

I'm waiting on 2- GEC CV1067 6J5G "Z" code, 2- TungSol/Chatham 6080WB graphite plate, 4- 6C5GT and 2- Western Electric 421A. Christmas com early!

If you ordered the 6C5 version with the EF86 adapter, I'm pretty sure they would have given you the 6C5 to EF86 adapter (not the 6J4P).  

 

[kaleb500]

Is there a way to check by buzzing the pins or something. I'm not really brave enough to just plug it in. D

 Mike at SND tube sales, told me that the EF86 couldn't be used with this input tube line up.

Do you mean you can't use an EF86 in your amp with the 6C5 to EF86 adapter?
