I no longer have Sundara,, having upgraded to Ananda and finally Arya, but I loved them while I had them

Wow. You're a total headphone whore. Of course I mean that in the most positive and complimentary way

Technically, I'm a very expensive call-person.

6' presents no problem for me.

Anyone else tried 12AU7 tubes with a 6SN7 adapter before btw, any risks? It works fine/safe in the Lyr 3?
something like a CV4003 has a 6.3V filament so seems compatible enough, on a glance

 

[Ripper2860]

What? You don't trust me?

12AT7 and 12AU7 will work fine with the proper adapter. The proper adapter will be wired to operate at 6v as opposed to 12v for the dual voltage mode tubes.

I'm just worried about the amp but glad to hear it should be no problem~

any chance you can link the adapter you use?

 

[Ripper2860]

I use one made by a member here at HF as I prefer his over the Chinese made adapters. In fact he has made all my adapters for me (2C51, 6922, 7N7, ECC40, 12AT/U7, etc). Send him a PM and I'm sure he can get you hooked-up. The member ID is @Deyan . He comes highly recommended by several members here.

Reading part of this 268 page thread the last two days has got the best of me. I gave up on finding a WH D getter for now and just bought a Ken Rad VT-231 black glass from Brent Jesse. I will have to be patient as he mentioned he is behind on getting orders shipped out as it seems everyone is buying tubes being on lock down.

Nice, let us know how they work out for you!

Still reading thread, which is just great and seemed the right next move while waiting for the Ken Rad is I bought two 1958 Fotons on eBay from el-rayder. Over a month wait but for $12 I can wait.

You will be very happy with the foton. I think they are a hidden gem.

For those of us who don't have soldering skills, is the pin instabilty issue a reason to avoid these?

 

[Monahans67]

If you don't resolder they just take longer to burn in. I have several and have not resolved but found someone to resolder for me. Resolder takes like 50 hours to burn in, like 150 without solder job approximately. I'm waiting for 2 more to arrive then will have all 7 resoldered.
