6BZ8? Does that mean it's 1 better than the 6BZ7? I swear I'll never understand the alphabet soup naming of tubes.

I also need to apologize to @bcowen. I forgot to put a trigger warning on that link I posted about the 5687.
Sorry, mate

They are all drop in replacements for various families. Like cousins, aunts and uncles. Coming up next some 6BC8 and 6BS8. We have to enjoy the ride!

LOL. bcowen is everywhere. The tube guru. We have exchanged chats many times. Cheers!

I got a couple 6BZ7/6BQ7 kicking around, but no 8

I actually did get my order from Ukraine (took 2 mo. to escape the war zone), so I have a Tesla whatevertheirequivalentofa5670is, and a RFT 12AU7 to play with.

5670 is equivalent to the 2C51 or 6N3P Chinese tube. You use it without an adapter on the Vali 2+? I use the 5670/2C51 in my WA2, but use an adapter with it (2C51 to 6922 adapter).


The little Vali 2+ and Tung Sol 6BZ8 tube spanked my PRO900s for 12 hours with great clarity and tight bass. Now it's spanking my SR225s in the same fashion.

Cheers!!!

An adapter is needed. The one you used in your Woo (hah) will work for the Vali
Just double czeched (pun intended)… the Tesla is 6CC42

I love the Vali 2 adapter that @Deyan made for my Vali 2. One piece, and no socket saver needed. Mine has a loctal top for a 7N7, but he can make them with octal tops for the 6SN7 too.

LOL! My eyes feel like they've had boiling nitric acid poured in them. ARRGGHHH!!!! A GE picture would have been much less painful, more like room temperature nitric acid.

Yah. I momentarily forgot about your disdain for ECG

Yessss! I love the 7N7/7AF7 tubes. But I have too many adapters already

There's no such thing as too many tubes adapters.

Does Deyan still make the 6SN7 adapter for the Vali?


A little Sylvania 6BC8 for Trev tonight. Great tube.

Why not ‘PM’ @Deyan? He has been most responsive to my inquiries.

Just did. Thanks

More adapters coming. Thanks!

A little GE 6BS8 and Sundara love on a beautiful 92 degree day in MIA. Cheers!
