Of the 57/58/64 FOTON 6N3P I have, only the '64 has a military stamp, different than the one you reference, but it also has an OTK stamp, so really can't help there.

On the heater?? Check again, 6N3P is 350mA, 6N2P is 340mA.
IIRC, MJ2 can handle up to 425mA. According to Schiit, 6BZ7 is the 'standard' tube for MJ2, which has a 400mA heater.

Oh wow, I was totally reading the wrong figure. Not sure if that’s good news or bad haha, now there’s another rabbit hole to fall down...

Indeed.

Indeed.

Down the new rabbit hole I go...

I got a pair of early 60s Reflektor 6n2p triple mica, and also found these interesting 50s D-getter Tesla 6CC41 and couldn't resist giving them a try.

I'll report back on how they are when they arrive. If they're good, I'll message everyone first so they can get a look in before @koover the tube hoover gets on ebay and cleans up

Where are you guys getting the heater current specs for the Schiits? Is it listed within their website somewhere?

"According to Schiit, 6BZ7 is the 'standard' tube for MJ2, which has a 400mA heater."

Yes, stock and recommended rolling tubes are on the website and in the manuals.

6N2P is doable with no adapter on the MJ2??? Yikes!!!

That would be killer if the tubes come out sounding great.

@AuditoryCanvas and @rnros, looking at 6N2P Reflektor's, found the exact printing on the tube that are on our sets of 6N3P 59's with the Reflektor logo. They sound exactly the same as the Foton 3x 6N3P labelled. Really weird.

I have some of those on the way.

Made an offer for that pair and got a counter for 40 so I decided against buying. Too rich for my blood.

Yeah, I managed to find some for a lot less. So I have some 50s, 60s Reflektor, and the Tesla D-Getter I linked to earlier. If they're all good, I'll start looking around for more

I hate all you guys. I'm not buying any more tubes.

Anybody know where I can get an adapter for this?

Grabbed another pair of those Reflektor (Foton 6N3P 3x sounding) was looking for another after hearing the rated 1500 hour heater. It was 29.99 without any best offer. Pick some up before they are $200 bucks a pair. Lol.

I did the same. He lists them 1 at a time stating “last one” but they continue to show up. Got 2 pairs and that’s it for me. I figured a back up is needed. I just hope they’re semi matched as it’s a crap shoot.
Between everything else I have along with all the 6c8g’s I’ve picked up in the past few weeks, I’m set.
