Very interesting, I appreciate the detailed description! Definitely seems like one to consider, especially since prices seem very reasonable (if I'm looking at the right thing.)

There are two varieties of GE5670W-5* ... red and white labelling and stars. I have white but I am reliably lead to believe the red are marginally better, especially with triple mica plates, if you can get them.

I'm finding ones with green labels as well. Any thoughts on those?

I haven't seen those ... nor heard about them. I'll try to find out.

Not sure if it's a different variant or?

They look just like my iFi's that come with the adapter already installed.

These are different, but JAN military spec, so should be long-lived. The 5* series, I believe, are considered TOTL in the GE lineup of these variants ... they certainly sound noticeably better than the regular 5670W that I also have.

At that price you can afford to experiment ! The 5* I got were €40 the pair and I found them so good I bought the other 4 the seller had in stock. They're not easy to find over here.

The adapter ... I haven't seen the 6SN7 designation before ... you'd need to check with the seller.

The adapter I'm using is this one ...

No. Not unless you're planning on using a 6SN7 instead of a 6922.

Ok I'll grab a few off ebay.

Also, the socket savers. I'm looking at getting a set of these. Are there higher quality ones I should be looking into or does that matter?

Hey guys,
Anyone else’s orders getting shipped? My order was placed on the 1/14, and I saw that they seem to be up to shipping 12/27. If you can post if yours shipped, and what date you placed it to help track the backorder queue.

I think that I read in one of the other threads that Jason mentioned that they were hoping to catch up most of the back orders this next week of March 6th. Hope so, as I didn't order my Mjolnir 2 until Feb 20.
