In the 6Ж1П-ЕВ / 6AK5, the cathode (pin 2) and suppressor grid (pin 7) are tied together inside the tube. In the 6Ж2П-ЕВ / 6AS6, they are not. Since the LD expects pins 2 and 7 to be tied together, it will be necessary to strap them together in the socket. And perhaps the easiest way to accomplish this is to use the same wire mod as the 6AH6. Unless I am overlooking something, this should work.
Is this tube a good replacement for the stock tubes in the Little Dot I+?

It really depends on a combination of your cans, genre, and personal tastes.
With a little searching on this site, you should be able to get solid opinions from people with many combinations of different cans on specific tubes and genres.
I have no personal experience with these tubes, but I have had good results with the Voskhod 6Ж1П-EB and the Western Electric WE-408A.
Have you rolled your OP AMP as well? They can make a huge difference too. I use a Burson V5i in my I+.

I still haven't received the AMP (just bought it from Massdrop). But read that stock tubes come with these are s**t.
I will be using these with my AKG K7XX and in future with HD6XX. Mostly listening to Rock, Metal, and J-POP.
As a longtime user of the LD I+, I think the first thing any new owner should do is order a pair of EI Yugoslavia 6hm5 and a Burson v5i. Practically all my friends who have tried that combo liked it.

Do you have any opinions on the EI Yugoslavia 6hm5 versus the Western Electric WE-408A? I strictly use the WE-408A in my I+ since I have 7 matched pairs and that is the only amp that I have that can run those tubes. I only have 2 pairs of the EI Yugoslavia 6hm5 and use them in my MK III.

I've never tried the WE408A and it's not because I don't have access to it. I'm just too lazy to change the jumpers and I know I'd forget to change them some day.
But I'm happy with my tubes, most of all the 6hm5. Because they're very cheap already.
