Thanks a lot. I will definitely give it a try once I get over the honeymoon period with the Tung-Sol tube (it arrives next week).
Will the difference be significant between different 12at7 tubes? For example between the tube you recommended and Tung-Sol 12at7.

Absolutely.

Hi, new CTH user here.
I am planning to roll Tung sol 12AT7 with this adapter. Can anybody tell me if there is a reason for me to be concerned about frying the circuit? I know it is only recommended to roll 6922 but I am not sure how unsafe it is to not follow the recommendation.

Well there is no "significant" upgrade to the stock tube, best if any would be the 6922 Genalex Gold Lion, but you can always try as rolling is tempting but don't expect any magic. You want to tube roll, go Bottlehead or DarkVoice.

Have you tried adapters and rolled any other variants? Or in the 6922 family, possibly a Siemens CCa, Brimar cv2492?

I owned the MCTH for about a year and rolling tubes produces pretty significant changes in sound. Especially when you get to the 12at7, 6c8g , and 6sn7 tube types.

In fact I tried the 6922 family as well as the 6SN7 from which I have a large stock. Am not saying there is no difference, am saying it's not as significant as in a DV or Crack.
In fact the CTH is designed around the EH tube while the circuit design is affecting the sound the most. I love how the CTH sounds especially with my Ananda but not "A" platform for tube rolling for me IMHO

Sorry bro I overlooked your post regarding the BHC and DV. Yes those amps will reveal tube changes significantly more due to the OTL design.

No worries Bro ,

Does it kick more than one arse simultaneously?….tough to do except for an octopus…

or a donkey... in which case it is an ass kicking asses

 

[HTSkywalker]

So far 2 asses marked
A donkey would do in this case

Go for a linear PS

Isn't a good LPS going to cost a good chunk of the upgrade to a Liquid Platinum?

If you can hide it, you can order a cheap one from Amazon for around $60, just dial the needed voltage and hide it in the back.

Why hide it? With that proto-industrial look, Dr Meter should take its rightful place at centre stage…!!

How do I use it then?
Also there could be problem with pin (I mean how do I find the exact same size)?
