Hey guys.... I got a little carried away and ordered a bunch of tubes and never got to test them. These 6H3N Electron tubes are one of them. Question is: do they require the 2C51 to 6922 adapters?

They do need the 2c51 to 6922 adapter. Those are exactly the ones I was raving about earlier in the thread.

Yes how many? Ahem...I’m asking for a friend.

I have plenty of singles. Lol

I have plenty of the 2C51's. They're prone to noise in the Ember 2. Thanks though as I wasn't clear and was wayyyy to generic in my request.

Love the new Avatar Bill!

Well, instead of the German flag I thought I'd go with a real German...'real' is relative.
Anyway, Sgt. Shultz digs the Tele E188CC's...always has. He says it's the one thing he does 'know'.
They've won the battle back to my #1's. Close with the TS 2c51's but the Tele's have the magic.
For now anyway.

Interested in how the Bendix sound.

How about this one, guys..... 2C51L?

Killer tube, best detail of any tube I heard, for me with my gear, they are harsh in the high end, many people have the same opinion, for others it is a holy grail tube. That was the only flaw in that tube. Not really made for HD700, HE560 which can be bright with the wrong tubes.

I think that's specific to LM Ericsson, though can't say for sure. Maybe it's like a 6N3P-E or -I: same basic specs as 6N3P. So, 2C51L = 2C51. Or not. Maybe your google-fu will be stronger than mine.

Here's the tube data, doesn't look to be any spec difference, but it does state different rating:

I would love a few links to buy these said $20 rectifier tubes that are so great. I know there are a few hidden gems out there but I get lost in the shuffle lol

The Brimar 5Z4GY that I have is said to be a good one and I've already bought a few driver tube sets along with a power tube set a couple more power tube sets along with a few rectifier and I'd be good to go

OK, checked the ~$20 rectifiers that I am using and not sure they are a good choice for your amp. Based on a comparison with the Brimar 5Z4G, the two tubes I use in this price range may be excessive in heater current draw and 5CU4 is beyond what is really needed for DC current output. The 5Z4G has a 2A heater draw and provides 125mA DC. The 5CU4 and 5AW4 require 3.5A/3.7A for the heaters and provide 385mA and 250mA DC. No need to go there unless you need that much current for the power tubes. I think it is designed for the 5U4, which has a 3A heater and provides 250mA DC, so that would be next level to safely try. But, both the 5Z4 and the 5U4 are available in the $20 range, Brimar a little higher at ~$30. Might be a good idea to check with the designer for max heater current available then you could do your own calculation. Whatever heater current you draw for the rectifier reduces what is available for the driver and power tubes.

I thinks that’s supposed to mean Long Life. Still runs the same voltage and everything else as a non-L. I think my O getters are labeled this way.

Can you give a quick peak on your LM E's to see if they got the L? Got a gold pin L not delivered yet.

Anybody biding this tube?

Selling a pair of Bendix 2C51 and a pair of CBS 5670 that I like much better than the Bendix for $115 shipped if your interested bro.
