Hello,
I am a new member here and I own a Little Dot "clone" called "Fosi Audio T20", which is a hybrid tube-digital class D amplifier.
This amplifier is officially compatible with the following tubes: "6J4, 6K4, GE5654, JAN 5654W, 6J1, 6J1P, 6AK5, 6BC5, 403A/B, EF40, EF95, and so on".
I have personally tested it and achieved good results with the following tubes:
- Chinese 6K4 (EF93/6BA6 family)
- Chinese 6J4 (EF94/6AU6 family, stock tubes)
- GE JAN5654W (EF95/6AK5 family)
- Russian 6J1P-EV (EF95/6AK5 family)
Yesterday I received a pair of Mullard CV5377 tubes ("long life" version of CV4014/M8083, EF91/6AM6 family), but unfortunately they don't seem to work properly: they produce very low volume and, when I increase the volume, they distort severely.
The official support could not provide information on whether EF91 family tubes are fully compatible with this amplifier.
Is there anything I can try to make them work?
On another note, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Yugoslavia EI 6HM5 tubes (EC900 family, "long" version), hopefully they will work fine.
Thank you.
