For those using WE 396A / 2C51 / 5670 or other short stubby 9 pin tubes in the TP.
Has the addition of a Tube Monger (or other) socket saver given you enough height to remove these tube w/o too much grief in the LP?

Are folks also using the Garage 1217 adapters to allow use of the 396A?

 

[nwavesailor]

That will be interesting for sure. 12at7 is 60. 12ax7 is 100. It'll definitely be a head scratcher if it works and the 6201 wouldn't lol.

Perhaps I am missing something here regarding 12Axx tubes. I was under the impression that the heaters are 6 volts in the LP and some of the tube the this discussion are12 volt tubes???

I also am a big fan of 6C8G but how, other than the having the lid removed, would these fit in the LP?

Do all or most of the Lyr posts relate to the LP based on 6922's?

I'll be happy to answer any of your questions in the Lyr rolling thread I linked.

 

[nwavesailor]

At the risk of asking a silly question and getting flamed, other than the 6922 potentially have lower noise, less microphonics and a longer rated life, why aren't folks trying or using the 6DJ8's?

I have quite a few of 6DJ8 and only a handfull of 6922 or 7308's.

If anyone is looking for a pair of white label Amperex USN-CEP 7308's, I've got a pair I'm going to sell. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Holy moly@heliosphann...........you have a hp inventory listed of at least 50! How do you decide which hp you want listen to with so many available???

I am not questioning your collection, just wondering how you choose. I have only 2 hp and sometimes want to switch between A or B.

This was not intended to be rude to you, I was just stunned!

Yea. It's a little too much... Great to have so many choices, but you've still only got 2 ears.

I'm kinda moving away from the hobby (not entirely), so I'll be selling quite a few of those (already sold some).

Hi Everyone

Can I roll these tubes in the LP without a converter, i.e., just plug them in?

Valvo Philips ECC88 6DJ8

If I need a converter which type do I need?

Also anyone with experience of them?

Thanks

Hello!
I broke a tube yesterday by dropping one of my kids toys on the left tube...
Does anyone know where I can replace them?
Is this a good time to swap tubes? If so, any quick recommendations for a no-fuss type guy that just wants a nice mid-tier tube for a relaxing audio session!?

Thanks

James

Yes anything in the 6922 family can be used in the LP w/o adapters, so just to name a few 6922,6DJ8, ECC88, etc.

Sorry to hear about that! For replacement tubes there are several options on where to purchase you can purchase from sites such as Upscale Audio https://www.upscaleaudio.com/collections/preamp-tubes/6922-6dj8-7308-pcc88 where you can purchase the same stock tube, if you so choose and you can purchase just one tube to replace the broken one! Upscale is a trusted site with good tested tubes! They also have different grades for the tube I would atleast get the gold if not platinum rating as these we be the higher rated tubes! You can also purchase tubes from eBay but taking a chance on those, there are other sites as well for purchasing tubes. Hope this helps, on last piece of advice is the LP can use any of the 6922 family of tubes so 6922,6DJ8,EC88, etc.
