I picked up some Philips 1969 SQ Miniwatt E88CC 6922 tubes. They should arrive sometime next week.

What do you guys do with your dead/dying tubes? Just throw them in the trash?

Are they Heerlens? Got a very nice pair of Mullard Philips Miniwatt E88CC. They are "R" coded for Mitcham, UK. They sound quite different from the Hollands.

A friend is sending me two 5670/6N3/WE396A --> E188CC/6922/6DJ8 adapters along with a couple of Reflektor 6N3P tubes.

I have read these style tubes sound really good in the Lyr 2 and Mjolnir 2. It will be interesting to try them out.

You should try the 7L4 D-getter Heerlens. With your love of detail heavy tubes like the Siemens CCa. Was running the Siemens CCa in my dac with `58 Heerlens E88CC in my MJ2. Today I put my 59 D-getters in my dac to see the comparison vs the CCa. Close to CCa detail with some added warmth that the Siemens CCa does not have. Very close to the Telefunken sound with punchier bass and better dynamics from low to high. Really underrated tube.

So finally these tubes arrived with some cheap voskhods and other semi-random tubes: https://tubes-store.com/product_info.php?products_id=832
For 8 bucks a pair they are a no-brainer. I will keep these as back up. As good of a sound as my Siemens E88CCs (not CCA) and Teslas What surprised me also was there is no noise or microphonics what so ever so yay.

+1. My first take with kolko's 7L4 Ds were that they were a delicately beautiful Heerlen/Telefunken hybrid. They are truly a unique sound signature and a flat-out gorgeous one.

If your link is correct and you are referring to the ANOD 6N1P-EV, yes, a great tube, but not intended for the MJ2. Great for the Valhalla2.
MJ2 is designed for 300mA heaters, 6N1P-EV has 600mA heaters.
If you have already used these for a significant period of time, you can check with Schiit to see what the result may have been (if any) to the MJ2.
I do recall another member having used 600mA tubes in a 300mA Schiit amp, I think the Lyr2, and Schiit was in the loop on that discussion.

Edit: My recollection is that MJ2 can handle up to 400-425mA, but check with Schiit.

Damn I faintly remember reading something about that. Thanks for telling me, luckily only had them in for maybe 20 min total. I hear no defects or degradation in the sound quality though, but there is one weird thing:

Sometimes I hear a click noise from the amp (not headphones) maybe once or twice a day and it doesn't seem to matter if musics playing and it doesn't seem to shut down the output either.
Idk if that has something to do with it but asked them about that as well.
