I'm not into vamping, but I really enjoy the decadence of a Cuban cigar with a single malt scotch, on occasion...
Will the 5687WA modification with the external heater work with the LD 1+ (I assume yes as gibosi has advocated for this mod). Also is there a wiring diagram for this mod? I found the parts list that gibosi made but I have not found a diagram. I am hoping I may be able to salvage my box by using it with this mod.
Excellent work on the Adapter box it looks great.
Possibly your heater wires are running too close to the other pins? Heater wires need to be twisted and separated a fair distance from other wires or run at 90 degrees across the other wires if you don't have the room. The heater wires will induce AC hum into the circuit.
Not exactly sure what kind of wiring diagram you are asking for....
If you are asking how to wire up an external DC heater PS, this might help:

If you are asking how to wire your 9-pin socket to the LD's two 7-pin sockets in order to run an 5687WA, this might help:

Hi electroshock,
If you use the search option on top of the page you will find a lot of material on the 6DT6 ("Detox") tube. Here is an excerpt from post #3056:
Started out with the EF95 1/7, but now I use EF92 setting without a strap, and I am happy with this ( but I liked the EF85 1/7 setting as well) . My 6DTA6 tubes in use at this time are Japanese made, either by Hitachi or Toshiba and perhaps they come from the same factory as the (demystified?) Siemens Foreign and Haltron tubes.
IMHO the 6DT6 tubes require 30-50 hours burn in to enter their prime.
Changing the strap settings has a big effect on the sound, and it is usually easy to pick out the best combination. I admire your work on making the adapter - wish I had those skills. In the past I found that grounding the amp chassis helped to reduce hum. Don't overlook RF sources such as portable phones etc in close proximity to the amp.

Yes, these will do.
Yes, these will do.
bbmiller those are the ones i bought just remind the guy to pack them well ,because when i got mine 2 of them were broken the guy says i put them in a foam box yes he did but they were bouncing around in there Hmm..tell him you know somebody that happened to recently maybe he will do a better job this time dont think he'd like negative feedback i am waiting for replacements .
OK, thx
Just ordered a pair of c3g and 6SN7 with all adapters.
I took 6SN7 vintage Sylvania nice looking black plate, chrome top, moderately priced, I doubt they affect quality really so want them to be lookers![]()
