Once Jeremy says we're ready to go - I'll get his preferred process from him and pass it on here. We haven't discussed process or price yet but when I know I'll post it here.

I have a couple of the "Russian Jungle Tubes" (I like that name:)) on the way - should be here Thursday. If they are as good or surpass my favored 6SN7s I'll be impressed and happy.

Here's some pics of the finished adapter while we wait for the final details, courtesy of Jeremy. Anyone that's used his 6SN7 adapter knows just how well made these are. Blows the Chinese stuff out of the water.

Thanks Matt for posting the pictures - it's also worth noting Jeremy's accompanying comments below:

"Sending you and Matt the photos :) they are good to go! A critical note, the 5670 is a little funky to bias. Ember and Solstice will have no issue. Sunrise and Horizon may need to have input caps bypassed in order to use depending on the tube. Starlight will be hit and miss or one would need to solder the input caps in bypass."

I'll contact him today to determine the process for ordering and the price.

While folks await the 5670 adapters, I have been using the dual C3G's for a few weeks. Initially I found these to be a bit shy on bass but the detail they provide more that makes up for this. Most of other tubes I have tried have been a bit warm and my perception was more bass but with a loss of some detail. I do, however, miss the visual glow!

Ok guys - it's done -- here's the scoop from Jeremy:

"Price will be $22.99 + shipping. Anyone can order through me by email for now and I will get the adapter on the site tonight. Some think that is a high price for the adapter but if they saw the build process and cost of the machined pins + PCB and socket - it is a bargain. They are not a slapped together adapter. Funny how so much detail goes into a tiny adapter!"

Cheers and have fun with those 5670/2C51s

I’m confused. Please excuse my ignorance. Why is it a “6SN7” to 5670/396a?
I understand the 5670/397a piece but I’m confused with the 6SN7

Unless I'm remembering things wrongly, the 6SN7 to 5670/396a adapter is not the new one, as I've seen that on the site since quite long ago.
It doesn't look like the new one is on the site yet.

Per Jeremy:
"The new adapter is not listed yet :D It is a 5670 to 6922 adapter. As I mentioned - it will not be on the site until tonight. People that want to buy now can just email me. Adapter covers 5670, 2C51, 396A or 6n3p tubes to our designs."

Ah ha. I was thinking that was quick and thought Jeremy just got ahead of it. Then it wasn’t the correct adapter. Thank you guys!
