Quick thanks to this thread! Bought a pair of Mullard M8100s to go with my HD700s. I'm thinking they should warm 'em up just right.
That set is a great upgrade to the stock tubes
Apologies if this is a bad place for this question but I thought people here would know... My Little Dot MKIII has finally died. I'm not really looking to fix it (again) but since I have all these tubes (EF95 5654 6AK5, EF92, EF91 etc) I bought, are there any other amps I could get that can use them? I know the other little dots (I'm thinking of just getting an MKIV) but was wondering if anything else out there can use these same tubes? I did some searching but didn't find anything but little dot. Thanks.

I could use these adapters with 6AK5/EF95 types on top to 6922 in my WA2, but how would it sound i dont know

My guess is they wouldn't sound all that good in your WA2, which was designed to use 6922 double triodes. The correct bias for the 6922 is very different than that for the 5654. And further, the 5654, being a pentode, was not designed for use as a strapped triode. So it might be fun to try, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. lol
OK thanks for the info...
So then, if I already have lots of tubes, is the SE version worth the extra over the regular MKIV? And are there other options I'm missing in the little dot lineup? (2, 3 and 4/se?)

Thanks for that but from what I can see they use similar, but different tubes in the Valhala 2 (6N1P dual triode input, 6N6P dual triode output, 1 each per channel. 6N1Ps rollable to 6DJ8, E88CC, 6922, 6BZ7, and similar types.)
