I have a suggestion for the Vali 2++, that is the 2++ only. I bought a NOS JAN GE 5670W for $20. Late production tube and it's better than the stock tube. I had an old GE 5670 5 star, red stars, delivered today. $20 and it tests strong. It'll probably outlast me. Anyway, OMG, this tube blows the NOS JAN GE 5670W away. Defined deep bass. Lush mids, smooth highs. Dynamic punch and big soundstage. The separation and placement of the instruments is holographic. I'm really thrilled with this tube. Highly recommended for the Vali 2++.

Where did you get it from?

Is there a list of recommended tubes for Vali 2++? Without reading 400+ pages…

Try:

Search "sylvania 5670 3 mica" on ebay for good start on nice tubes.

Also I like the Russian 6n3p's that you can find for even less. Cheap enough to use trial and error.

The RCA Command 5670 finally gave me that big, full tube sound that I was looking for.
The GE five star is good but I like the RCA better.

Ohhhh I liked the GE five star but the RCA Command sounds interesting.

Vali 2 Tube Spankers!!! Where you at? I have been gone since June and see there is a Vali 2++ now. Good times ahead! The 5670/2C51 is a wonderful little tube.

Cheers!

I am fine, thank you. It is good to see you in the thread . PS, I am looking at unpacking my stored Valhalla 2 and using the Raytheon CK 5670 (w/ adapter) as the ‘front’ pair. (Rear pair are Foton 6N6P) .
