Schiit Valhalla Tube Rolling thread.

A thing of beauty.

…with rear tubes higher than front tubes, especially so for its OCD owner…

I meant to post in the Valhalla 2 amp thread. Please remove this post.

@jonathan c ... I looked at your post, mused, 'huh... meh... why not' and picked up a pair of matched greenies. They go for $80 CAD here in Southern Ontario. I'm unconvinced I can tell the difference between different brands of 6N6P valves (so I'll stick with its stock units). I'm looking forward to some deep listening this weekend.

Where did you get these tubes? I'm also in Ontario.

So I got some Mullard tubes but one is louder than the other. Is it okay to match their volume levels with an equalizer? Will that be equivalent as if the tubes were the same out of the box?

The Mullards flattened the sounds and gimped the bass so I think I'll cut my losses and stick with the stock tubes which sound amazing enough.

Where can I find 6922 to 5670 adaptor nowadays? Everything that I found was from 5670 to 6922.

Nvm, found them

I just switched back to stock and it sounds fantastic.

An excellent choice of tubes (and of adapters).

I like it, I guess it's on the same level as the Loki and looks nice with the Bifrost on my desk. Dialed it in, set and forget. Only complaint I had was how they set the sensitivity of the knobs.

I may buy another one for a future setup just because I love analog EQ

Thanks. Had some cheapo adapters from e-Bay but they started cracking and making weird "feedback?" noise... so I guess we get what we pay...
I love the Mullard's (NOS) CV4024's but their prices have sky rocketed BIG time... I still have a pair or two kicking around, hehe, but I am happy to have found good ones that won't break the piggy bank...

Right on. I had an old vintage EQ but it stopped working. Well... got some crazy humming screwing things up, so decided to pile up my Schiit even further and deeper...

I have a number of pairs of RFT ‘yellow print’ ECC81 tubes: rolling into a variety of tube h/p/a. Excellent and do not cost + . Do those in your Valhalla 2 have ‘halo’ getters or ‘foil’ getters?
