I joined the Vahalla 2 club this morning. I have a silver one on the way. I'll stick with the stock tubes for a while. The Genalex Gold Lion gold pin 12ax7 tubes are my favorite new production tube so I'll probably have to try a pair of 6922s eventually. I'm looking forward to trying my HD600's and 600 ohm DT880's out with this thing. I do have a Vali 2++ that I really like with a GE 5 Star 5670 in it so I'm looking forward to hearing the differences between the two amps.

Sadly, I do not think I have perfect anything anymore, least of all hearing. The irony of course is that once I finally knew what to listen for I couldn't hear it.… the good news is that by your profile you should have perfect hearing …

Hello everyone. where would you find one of those 6SN7 socket risers mentioned previously in the thread? last week I bought a 6SN7 adapter for my Vali and didn't even consider that it might be too big and now that its here and a few tubes are on the way in the mail I've been sort of stumped on what to do with it.

See the esteemed (steamed? bbq'd?) @bcowen's previous suggestion here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/official-schiit-vali-2-thread.790828/post-17423184
But since you already have a 6SN7 adapter, @bcowen's unhelpful advise is redundant.
Instead you could use a noval (9pin) socket saver then insert the noval-to-6SN7 into the socket saver.
There's plenty of socket saver options. Like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275360679957
Yes, you would be double 'dapting, but it's still legal in many states.

Yes, it would. But soooo cheap. Check the fine print, might be a monthly subscription socket saver.

@LobalWarming does offer some good advice, but you could also just save yourself some money and run the Vali2 topless

Ever better to run the Vali2 topless when using 6J5 so you can truly free the twinsYou're kinky that way
