A while back I emailed Mikhail asking him if it's possible to use other types of tubes beside the 6CG7 tubes on my stock PPX3-6CG7. He didn't respond for almost a month, so I forgot about the whole thing. Today I received an email from him:

Maybe this is old news, but it was new to me, so I thought I would share it here and let people who have the PPX3-6CG7 that want to try out the 5687 tubes and possibly turn their PPX3s into a SLAM. I'll certainly give Mikhail a call next week, since he took almost a month to reply
But I understand that he's a busy man, so calling is probably the best way to contact him.

We are now begining production of these adapters for the 6CG7 tubes. Please check with us next week as we are going to have them near completion. The 5687 tubes can be used in these amplifier as well. The projected price will be $99 for these. We may be able to provide them for a lower cost, but we have not set the price yet. Thank You, Mikhail |

Hi Mikhail, I bought an used PPX3-6CG7 from a member at Head-Fi. Recently I've come across discussions where some people have told me to try to use different tubes for the PPX3. I am just wondering if the PPX3 I have now is capable of using any other tube-class beside the 6CG7,because I'm interested in trying out different tubes. Does this also require some sort of tube adaptor as well? |
