Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

Be aware that any socket saver/tester with exposed pins like the one above has very dangerous voltages on those pins when the amplifier is running.

Leeds Radio. Notice that on top of the test socket, next to the pin holes, there are exposed metal pins. Since these are test sockets, the exposed metal pins allow one to take electrical measurements while the tube is in operation. So per TrollDragon's warning, when the amp is powered on, DO NOT TOUCH!

Would electrical tape around them help make them just a little safer?

Sure. While I have never felt the urge to touch these pins while listening to music, if you think you might be tempted, then electrical tape would do the trick. :)

The temptation is just too much... No honestly, I just have a touchy daughter. I could just imagine it happening now, I get up to go to the bathroom and she shocks herself. I rather not have the wife kill me.

Looking for some guidance here: I purchased some Voskhod 6J1P-EV tubes from The Tube Store online for my Little Dot II++. I swapped them in, no output. These are EF95-type tubes, I thought they'd be compatible. Is there an internal setting I need to change? Thanks for the help!

Anyone have thoughts on this? I was going by the tube guide on page one, assuming that EF95 tubes can be used with a LD II++. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Try search function ,also your 6j1p seems similar to the 6F32 tube that i use to run in LDMK3 here's link https://www.ebay.ca/itm/10-X-6J1P-E...003661?hash=item3b0458df4d:g:JC0AAOSwt2paoTme

I'm wondering if there's a compatibility issue with the EF95/6J1p-EV & the LD II++, which is an older model.[/QUOTE

You sure your on ef95 setting ? also from what i see 6j1 are stock driver tubes (front tubes)and on a side note if you look at page 77 the littledot 2+ is listed there and able to use the tubes on that list some are plug n play .

No I'm not sure: is this a setting change inside, accessed by removing the bottom screws? Thanks.

First of all do you have an other pair of ef95 tubes you could try ,maybe its the tubes? if the other pair you try doesnt work your probably not on the right setting i had a little mk 3 to change from ef95 to ef 92 settings we had jumpers accessible thru peep holes under but yours i think you remove the cover yes .i would check on the thread for pictures of inside
