Gah first one sold. I’m wary of the others being shipped from Asia.

Your probably better off I charge a finders fee, a mere 90% for peace of mind and good deals.

Wondering if anyone might know if the 6n3p-I are compatible with a Schiit Mjolnir 2? I saw a note about them having 'Increased Emissivity', but I'm not sure what that means in regards to compatibility.

I found some quad mica '77 6n3p-I tubes for pretty cheap, so I'm curious to try them, but don't want to damage the Mjolnir 2 in the process.

I've been tempted to try the Ericssons for a while, they seem to get a lot of rave reviews. Does anyone know what the sound signature is like?

Yes, I have used them in the MJ2. Both 'E' and 'I' have heaters in the 300-350mA range, which is fine. (I actually have used the '77s.)
To me, they sound identical to the 'E' version, which is great.
The 'E' and 'I' version differ in the size and/or placement of the top and bottom mica, otherwise, construction appears identical.
The 'E' appears to have 3 micas but the bottom stage is actually a sandwich of 2 mica plates, the 'I' moves one of the those below the wire connections.

I remember a while back someone saying they wanted a pair of older RCA's (meatballs, as they call them). Here is a pair for a good price. I have a set, good tubes, worth a listen for $35

Another pair that have good reviews on other forums, Sylvania Gold Brand 5670's, lowest price I've seen, haven't heard myself, but again, good feedback elsewhere.

Edit: Another pair from the same seller for $70, both listings are OBO:

Sure, you're welcome. 1970, nice. Post a pic when you get them. Curious to see if there's any visible difference.

I'd be happy to send you a pair for free when they arrive if you like. I'm never going to need 10 of them, was just a bulk deal.

 

[rnros]

That's very generous of you, thanks. OK, but I'll have to send you some tubes also. : )
