Sure is:



Even one with a blue tint if that increases ORTappeal:



Just need one of these and you're in business (although it will stick out of the socket a bit):

Thank you! That is quite loverly. I shall show this to my brother and if he likes it, it shall be ordered for him!
But...I can not make out the part #s!

Looked at psvane 6SN7-BE 6SN7-UK 811A. Yes, I am a ignorant of the glories of tubes and I like them for their physical beauty but am clueless about what works with or as what!

Where did you get the adapters? I like that it is all in one. Most 6SN7 to 5670 will also need to use a socketsaver.

The one with the silvery insides is the 6SN7-SE. The blue one is the 6SN7-BE. Both available from several online sellers. I have not heard either of these so can't comment on their sonics, only their light bulb shape. 🤣 Both are electrically 6SN7's, so will work in any of the Vali versions with the proper adapter.

Thank you. I kept making the photo larger in an effort to see the writing on the tubes but as it got bigger it got fuzzier. That or I am just fuzzy my self.

Those are from fellow HeadFi'er @Deyan . Just send him a PM if interested.

I believe it isn’t all-in-one. It is an adapter and socket saver of the same style and tightly fitted together. I did the same a while back with a gold one.

Got hooked on Bloody Caesar’s years ago visiting Montreal - the P&W guys I worked with brought 24 cans of Clamato juice & celery salt to the UK for me - happy days !
That's the exact recipe we were using ... didn't realize the drink had a proper name. We can buy clam juice in a bottle around here, too.
But fiddling to get the right amount of Worcestershire sauce was a pain, so we switched over to Zing Zang. Cheers!

Sounds like a venerial disease. Or something to smear on it, more to the point.

No, it's got a lot of info I don't want to share (price, who I bought from, etc) (edit: I ran a simple formula summing the prices I've spent on tubes total, and let's just say i don't even want to share this sheet with my wife lol)

I mostly roll the gain stage, I don't think the follower stage makes nearly the difference...
Especially with the wife! Lol
