I think it's page 77.

Yes it is, thank you.

I've just decided to stash 10 more tall-bottle EI 6hm5 in my house. I love this addictive colored sound. It turns my mk4 clone into something else entirely.

I rolled many tubes on my LD Mk4 and I have the 6ZH1P-EV and the 6HM5.
IMHO, the 6HM5 is a much better all-arounder, that is, before you tried the C3g, which is much pricier and needs adapters!
Luckily, the 6HM5's are surprisingly inexpensive and are plug-in compatible to EF95, which is the greatest news to us!

you can always see robot vacuums for dog hairs here.

A little confused are we??

So guys, quick Mk 2 suggestion.

Going for voskhods 6zh1p and also sylvania GB5654. Might pick up some 6hm5 along the way and are GE JAN 5654 worth it?

Power tube recommendations? Seems like 6N6P-IR are well sought after here and cheap. Can those 6H30P work with MK2 without an adapter or changing jumper settings?

Much appreciated guys and happy rolling!

Personally. I've found the GE "5 Star" a slightly better choice than the JAN5654. Seem a bit more detailed. Maybe just my ears though. Definitely try the 6HM5s but make sure you get the taller version. Good luck.

Thanks man. Suggestions for power tubes? Tbh i'd like to play safe and go for the swap and play types without messing around too much with the circuitry.

Are the GE 5 star carry the same sound sig as the JAN5654 though? I do like the JAN because its tubey neutral sound play really well with Rock music. An improvement over that very sound will be very welcome

I use either the Russian 6N6P or the 6N6 IRs. Both are very good, however I found the IR version a bit too bright with the Voskhod drivers, but again that may be just me and my ears.

As I say, the 5 Star seemed a bit more detailed to me than the JAN5654. Not much between them TBH though, and both really good for rock. Both seem to go well with female vocals as well, (Joni Mitchell's Hejira album sounds amazing with them.)

JAN 5654W are a better choice than 5Star tubes for me. Incredible ratio quality/price has Tesla 6F32 and Voshgod 6zh1p-ev. I've tested Voshgod date 1985. Russian power tubes are very affordable.

 

[doordie97]

Guys, Sylvania GB5654 or Telefunken/AEG 5654? I just can’t decide which ones to get. I already have the Raytheon 5654 and Ge Jan 5654W.

 

[Johnybuchar]

I assume that Telefunken is a better choice. This brand is one of the most famous tube producers and you can't do a mistake with them .

 

[CatBroiler]

I decided to get a Little dot Mk.II, and I got Novosibirsk 6N6Ps and British Mullard M8100s.
Compared to my solid state amp (Sabaj D3), the tubes have made my DT990s a lot less bitey in the highs (though admittedly I do sometimes enjoy the bitieness) and a lot warmer in the mids and lows.
As a side note I'm still using the DAC in the Sabaj D3, and I've ordered a pair of Voshkod 6J1P-EVs and GE5654Ws to try out.

 

[doordie97]

Still wondering which power tubes to get.... Can't decide between the 6H6P and the 6H6P-IRs, or even 6H30Ps are a welcome edition, tho they are expensive. Thoughts?
