@jslateiv Thanks for the info on both fronts!
I will definitely look into the safety of using these adapters.
Also, I do agree that in general 6SN7s can be a hit or miss with the BHK. I tried rolling a few, and the Sylvania VT-231 was the set that came out winning over the other 6V or 12V tubes. I’m not trying to recommend 6SN7 as a whole for the BHK - more just that it is possible (if done correctly, as you point out). And with tube rolling, it’s all system dependent. We recommend the things that work out for us, with the rest of our chain, in our rooms.
I’ll definitely consider the Cortese when I have the itch down the road, as it has come in my view in the past. I hear nothing but great things.
