Hi guys, been reading this thread for a while and I'm looking for a tube that would make this little amp as tubey as possibe. Any recommendations and suggestions are highly appreciated.

I would suggest Electro Harmonix 6CG7.

I have been listening to my Nightowl Carbon's(w/hybrid earpads) through an iPhone 6, Dragonfly Red(dac only) and Vali 2 with the stock 6BZ7 tube. I would prefer just a little bit more treble and tighter bass. Would the EH 6922's or gold lions serve that purpose? If not, what will? Any input would be very much appreciated.

ECC88/E88CC Mullard, Tesla, Tungsram, or a Bugle Boy might suit.

I would also like to add that I prefer that the soundstage not be compromised and that the slightly extended treble be relatively smooth.

Reflector 6N3P-E, adapter required.
Or maybe the tube @chef8489 is showing. : )

Thank you. What specific adapter do I get? Where do I get it? eBay? Other?

I agree with the Reflector 6N3P-E and an adapter. Not quite as massive as the tube I am currently working on. I amn still in the burn in phase of the 6C8G tube. It does sound great, but the Reflector is a top notch tube and smaller package.
