Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.So, no Picking up Paw-Paws and putting them in you pocket?

Eh... Anything new? Like, somebody after the 60s? Anybody from the last quarter century?
.
There are some reports of using them on the ++ using these https://www.ebay.com/itm/191597450984OK tube experts I need some help. Found these from when I used a Nobsound a decade or more ago. Will these work in my Vali2++? Currently enjoying a GE JAN 5670W immensely, but have the itch to tube roll. Thanks in advance.
Glad that you're back!Some of you were kind enough to enquire after me during my 3-month absence from Head-Fi and were kind enough to welcome me back upon my return. I have recovered enough to share with you what I have learned during my adventures.
1. The fruit of the Paw Paw Tree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba is considered a delicacy but contains a neurotoxin that can cause Nausea and Vomiting in susceptible individuals. The episodes can be severe and can last over 17 hours. It is important to rehydrate between episodes of nausea and vomiting with World Health Organization Oral Rehydration Fluid or you will be forced to the hospital for IV fluids. It is important to watch for lack of urine output. Once the vomiting stops, jaundice can set in, luckily this only lasts a few days. Even in nonsusceptible people, heavy consumption of the fruit can lead to early Parkinson's Disease.
2. Influenza and food poisoning together can present with symptoms similar to Norovirus, leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment.
3. Influenza can flare asthma.
4. Doctors make the worst patients.
5. Self treatment of asthma and inappropriate avoidance of systemic steroids can lead to high intrathoracic pressure, causing decrease in cardiac output. This can lead to your spouse finding you passed out on the floor.
6. Subsequently awaking in the hospital with your spouse threatening you with certain death.
7. Self Loathing, when you realize that the low cardiac out led to mild rhabdomyolysis.
8. Systemic steroids can interfere with your sleep and make you lose muscle mass.
9. Recovery requires rest. A lot of it. 10 hours a night plus a 2 hour nap for about 2 weeks followed by 10 hours of sleep per night for 3 weeks
Hopefully everyone(me) will have learned something from all this.

The Gold Lion and the Electro-Harmonix will work but you'll have to have an adapter. A 12AU7 / 12AT7 / 12AX7 (all have the same pinout) to the 6NP3 / 5670 / 2C51 socket in your Vali.. The 12AU7 has a lower amplification factor than the 6N3P the Vali 2++ comes with (20 versus 33). If you have more than plenty of volume with the stock tube into the HP's you're using, you'll probably be fine with the 12AU7, just be aware you'll get less gain. The E180F is a single pentode (rather than a dual triode), so you'd have to have two of them with an appropriate adapter to work. As well, it's electrical characteristics (and optimum operating points) are not well suited to the Vali 2++.OK tube experts I need some help.

Ha its sold!!https://www.ebay.com/itm/115938461001?itmmeta=01HSCP1YM4PT92XQTPFEXZPMT3&hash=item1afe788549:g:ICsAAOSwhLVlJMX4&itmprp=enc:AQAJAAAAwNvcyQxeDxgXNdBJVFDLLjJUQ79DSq9zo6YA/yLYQS5bQj+3eKqK5j4UglLEnyxPosvH75ddLpoXgCK7jhSZK2VXy2YT+mrYjWOQmLR2ODoElcn6xFQ3/3POQ5XOIdSjCjK/pdi230aRpLl2PL2Vpxblk3mO0uJxVA2OufrADvpS/nMceDO21DJtNbf3YvVk2nws38lNn0YFOUiGuzT4hFmInDPmgXXcBPoXKt2Fkd7NjLpuqZXpMMFwoX4F7BWo5Q==|tkp:Bk9SR5Tqh5bLYw
Go get it !! For your Vali 3....$75 not bad for a well matched 396A
Gosh, I bought all the DMP cds waaaaaaaay back then....they still are classics!!Tonight's music selection (Jazz) is a variation on last night's...
Love Flim and the BBs. And I'll take a DMP produced CD over a MoFi Ultra disc ANYDAY! Massive Dynamic Range!
Listen if only to see how good PCM 16/44.1 can really sound.
(Don't tell Mark Levinson or my liver and kidneys, however. )
It was gone like 10 minutes after you posted it. Coincidence? Not!! (wasn't me tho') That was a good deal for that tube testing as it was, so whoever got it did well.Ha its sold!!
Which one of you guys got this deal!
:>)

Thanks you sensei - much appreciated.The Gold Lion and the Electro-Harmonix will work but you'll have to have an adapter.

As well, it's electrical characteristics (and optimum operating points) are not well suited to the Vali 2++.
Edit: just saw @Orange5o 's post, and the adapter he linked is exactly what you'll need for the 12AU7 / ECC82's.
Not afraid of those. Have all those and more in the 396A/2C51/5670/6N3P bin. However, as with most tube manufacturers, early versions of the 5670 family were built to tight tolerances specified by the design engineers. Later versions were built to the tight tolerances of the cost accountants.Keep in mind that the regular GE, RCA, Sylvania were also made to the same very tight tolerances. Don’t be afraid of those either. Oddly, the 6N3P that arrived with my 2++ is one of my best sounding tubes. Every once in a while, you get one that surprises you!
