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

I believe that the LD II++ shipped with EF92 as drivers. I don't know if it is possible to run EF95 tubes in this amp, but if so, it would be necessary to change some jumpers as the EF95 has a different pinout. Unfortunately, since the LD II++ was first introduced in 2006, it is difficult to find much info on this amp....

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

I tried 2 sets of tubes, no output. I'll search for some internal pics of the II++, and I'll open it up tonight, to see what I can figure out. Thanks.

The old Little Dot II++ uses CV131 driver tubes and 6C19 output tubes. It does not have the option to use EF95 tubes so you're limited to EF92 compatible tubes only.

That's what I was afraid of. Guess I have 6 EF95 tubes available......

Hi T,
Don't feel bad; I have maybe 200 different EF95, 6AK5, 5654, 6J1P, M8100, CV 4010, CV850 etc from my Little Dot MKIII days.
Don't use them any more.
Many of them were bought as used. If anybody is interested in something, please PM me.

And if you need more, I have a bunch too.

I only need EF92 type, all of mordy's are EF95.

Hi gibosi,
I was thinking of you when I wrote it lol.......
Do you a remember a British chap that posted on the LD thread way back that had over 7000 tubes?

I'm still interested in some Tesla's... the one's with the white hat I believe! Mine died suddenly before I could get a sense for them. (EF95 of course) I stopped tube rolling a while back, finding the Voshkod and the yugo the best for my ears but the itch still remains.

I own them all . Now i am listening via SYLVANIA JAN 5654W/6AK5W Black Plate and I am riveting by airy trebles and space. I like my collection of tubes.

When I took a first listen to my Sylvania jhs 5670 from 1962 I had the same reaction but further listening against the Western Electric 396a(5670) truly outperformed the Sylvania in refinement, vocals, bass and treble. But you are right about the airy treble on the Sylvania and that was what had me at hello. Bass lacks. Add Western Electric to your collection.....expensive though.

What amp are you running these in? The 5670/2C51 is a double triode and won't work natively in the LD....

I am running the WE 396a(5670) on my Audioromy 6v6 amplifier. But I know that WE 5654 makes them because I just bought a set for the Little Dot mk2 which I am burning them in as we speak. Not listened to sound yet on my LD but my W.E 5670 are sounding pretty great on my Audioromy amp.
