Yeah!! That damn tube was taking up most of the pic of the carpet, but there was enough of it visible to have me pull the trigger. That'll look real nice in my den!!

So you got the tubes but the carpet is still available???

 

[nwavesailor]

That Garage 1217 is ok using the 12AT7 variants with the higher gain I sent you? They are a go on Schiit gear but not the LP.

Yes those will be OK in the Garage 1217. Understand the 12AT7 are a no-go in the LP.

Do you know anyone who has a pair of HiVac 12AU7 that would work in the LP if I snag one to audition???

Not off hand lol. They do work fine in the LP. you want a pair back?

Perhaps.....................if I order the LP today we may consider some other trades.

You got any other holy grails?

 

[nwavesailor]

Sure........ the Holy Grail pairs that you sent me!

I did finally get off the fence and ordered the LP to arrive Friday. I will start with what I have, 6DJ8 / 6922 / 7308 and WE JW2C51. If it is promising with these tubes, I will snag the soon to be available 12AU7 / 6922 adapters from Tube Monger and try 12AU7 Amperex Orange Globe and RCA clear tops. Already have his socket savers as well as garage 1217 adapters for the WE 2C51. Sure hope the WE pair I have is quiet in the LP!

Those garage adapters tend to make the WE noisy on the LP you might need those Chinese bakelite adapter non ceramic.

I snag some quality US made Garage 1217 adapters, instead of the cheap 'Made in China' crap, and the Chinese option may make the WE quieter in the LP???

DOAH!!!!!

Yeah, yeah I know............should have gone for the 16" wide MJ2.

Would not be an issue with Schiit amps. You might get lucky though.

I can confirm that the Garage 1217 adapters can make the WE noisy in the LP as it happened with mine, had to use the cheap China adapters.

Congrats on the LP hopefully you will enjoy it!

So you got the tubes but the carpet is still available???

No, sorry. I bought all the carpet. It was guaranteed to work excellent in my listening room.

I`d try the 6201 PW pair I sent you first, though I do not recommend having cans plugged into the LP with them.

Then how are you supposed to hear what they sound like?

 

[nwavesailor]

I'm sure I am supposed to buy a MJ2 and be golden!!! The 6201 will work in the Garage 1217 amp to give me a feel for what a pair might sound like in the...........yes, MJ2!!! I do wish that amp was smaller and less industrial looking.
I have used many single plate 6 volt tubes with adapter (C3G, 6J5, 6C5G, 6F8G) as well as 2 plate 6 and 12 volt tubes in the Hybrid Garage 1217 amp.

Yes, I know the 6201 will not play nice in the LP.
