You win that one off eBay last night?
Yes. Not sure what I was thinking, but yolo...

I take that back... those look like Brent Jessee was selling them for $110 a piece.I think that would be one of the few 6DJ8's from Mullard you would want to pay that much for, but I bet it's worth it.
Welp, my 5670 to e88cc adapter arrived today annnnnnnnnnndddd...it's a dud. Whatever the heck they were smoking...the tube no fit mate....arghhhh anyways.
Rolled in the Dual 73's Voshod 6ZH1P-EV for a listening session, take my mind off adapters/eBay haha.
Roll on!

Guess I got lucky - can't wait to give 'em a go. [crosses fingers]I take that back... those look like Brent Jessee was selling them for $110 a piece.
Did a lot of listening last night to all the tubes listed (except the Mullard). I'll do a lot more before I draw any "final" conclusions, but I will say that the Philips PCC88/7DJ8 and the Tungsram E88CC 6922 are very impressive.I have a Mullard Master Series 10M ECC88/6DJ8 coming sometime later this week and a Tungsram E88CC 6922 already at home on my desk waiting to be tried out. I MAY buy a new production Genalex Gold Lion, but if I don't, I'm pretty much done with buying tubes for a while (going to save up for a big rig, as I'm pretty happy with my little desktop setup). So... my tube inventory will consist of:
6BZ7 [Canada] - came with the Vali 2
JJ E88CC/6922 - steel pin version
EH 6922 - steel pin version
Matsu$h!ta/National PCC/7DJ8
Philips PCC88/7DJ8
Tungsram E88CC 6922
Mullard MS 10M ECC88/6DJ8
Just got new pads on my favorite headphone [DT880/250 ohm], so it is time to do a lot of listening!

Tube don't fit??? You mean the tube won't plug into the socket or the adapter doesn't fit the Vali? Either way, that sucks.
What on earth do you have plugged into your poor Vali? A connector that size can't be good for the jack
Haha, that's just me recabled HD600's! Don't worry the Vali 2 can take it, goes all the way in and handles the HD600's amazingly!
As for the adapter issue, I swear they've sent me a 12au7 to e88cc or even a blinkin' 6922 to 6922. Got it off eBay cheap, so I'm not going to follow it up as I CBF to deal with it right now!
Will do. You may be right.Tell us what you think of the Tungsram, I dare say it could be a surprise sleeper tube in your stash!
