... it hasn't taken that long for me ...Just ordered the adapter from Xuling Audio Labs, now just a short 3 week wait for that slow boat from China!

I’m not in a huge rush but if it’s faster, I’m not complaining.

From CZH-HIFI seller on Ebay:Love the bigger knob, may try something similar with mine. Got a link for the feet? Been trying to find some that look small and sleek enough for my gear.

No need for a guard with small noval tubes. Mine curl up next to Folkvangr even with eight 6N6P tubes that run much hotter than 5670's. Here's a handy guide my cats developed:I just saw someone selling one with some extra tubes after only 6 weeks. Apparently they just wanted to try other stuff now. I don’t understand, especially for such an economical unit. Just pack it away for a few months until you get bored with the new thing. I’m a little upset I let go of my 5670/6922 adapter when I sold my Orchid. Lesson learned. Keep all adapters. Especially the ones you don’t “think” you’ll ever use again. Reading through this thread, you guys make a pretty compelling case. Can’t have tubes at work or in my bedroom system without some extra protection though. Don’t want to deal with singed cat tail.
L to R:
6BQ7A: Sniff frequently
6N8S : Sniff occasionally
EL 34: Sniff once (only)
KT-90: Kitty senses intervene before nose->glass contact
845: Probably go ahead and call the vet

My Vali 3 tube storage.Inspiration from Turcoyan post above. Quick toss in & photo... back to the listening! 6CG7 top row - 5670 middle - 12BH7 below. Currently rolling Raytheon CK 5670 in Vali. Cheers!
Ps. I don't keep my wine that close, hidden detail in photo- lack of quality but maybe someone will pick it up...
