Ok Schiit heads why o why do you guys keep this quite?

I purchased a Vali 2++ from a Headfi member and came yesterday.
It came with 4 valves.

Long story short ended up at 4.30 this morning .
Got a kids 3 hour football party today.

Ran lots of gear into it from Apple dongle ddhifi Ibasso VE and Chord Mojo 2.
Headphones Senns PX Grado Grado modded AK and Senns HD800S.
Cable’s everything from Kimber PBJ , worlds Best Oyide and Kimber KCAG.

Best pair up RCA tube and Kimber PBJ.

Boy is this thing fun.

Advise please on some 5670 valves.
I have already ear marked a Western Electric 369A that’s two days older than me.
Any other suggestions please?
Are Garage adapter plates good?
Any suggestions on 6Sn7 tubes please?

Very pleased with this little amp

GE JAN 5670W. I got it for less than $20 on Ebay. I found it to be an improvement over the stock tube. And yes, the Vali 2++ is a fun little play toy. Enjoy.

The tubedepot in Tenn sell the GE 5670 and adapter for $25!
A steal for me...

NOTE THIS IS FOR THE OG and Vali 2 + ......NOT NEEDED for the latest VALI 2 ++

The 396A I am watching is £76.00 and £16.00 shipped.

This seems expensive to me.

What adapter and valve is that please?

Thank you.

 

[bcowen]

Thank you.

You won't need an adapter for that in the 2++. Only the OG and 2+ need an adapter as they both use 6N1P's / 6922's natively.

Since you are already looking at the WE 396A, I would add GE 5-Star / RCA Triple Mica / RCA Command as 3 more 5670s you could try (in that order by my preference)

And if you can find any, the triple mica Foton 6N3P from the '50's. They were all the rage several years ago until the supply was eradicated.

Thank you.
I think I might already be using a RCA Triple Mica.
Shall look when home.
I also have 3 other valves that came with the amp.
Bit difficult to make out what they are but shall post pictures later.

Thanks once again.
