An adapter will be needed for that tube. It is however, a great recommendation.

Correct. The picture of the tube and the adapter are in my previous post.

That is a huge tube!. Please explain what that tube does for the sound of the amplifier as opposed to the Telefunken 6922 I rolled or the stock tube Schiit supplies. Thanks
Well there is a socket saver and two adapters under the tube.
Just installed the tube this morning, I will need more time to study/listen. However, previously I was running a 6SN7GT Russian so it has been a while since I listened to any 6922s or equals in this amp.

Edit:
After further listening, I find that this tube sounded very good in the Vali 2 however, the SQ was not much different from many of the 6SN7 tubes in the Vali 2. In fact, with the Grado 325e headphones I still prefer the 1961 6SN7 Russian sound.
So I got curious about the Sylvania 6F8G and adapter in my DarkVoice 336 SE. I think the 6F8G has found a home, at least for a while I am driving Beyerdynamic T90 with this amp.
If I had not purchased the used DarkVoice a couple of weeks back, the 6F8G would have stayed in the Vali 2 for a while and the T90s would have stayed with a 6SN7 adapted Lyr 1.
For now the Vali 2 will stay as a 6SN7 amp.
I have a couple more 6F8Gs on order to play with at a later date. I will see what happens then.
What.
