Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again


I decided to risk it, Russian, no return. (he accepted my $400. offer, so $500. delivered).

Gives me tubes in my office system.

I just read something:

People don’t want advice, just confirmation

I’m not looking for either (this time), just thought some of you would find it funny and wish me luck.

I’m 72, it may arrive before my 75th birthday

Did some research for you. 6DJ8/6922 are equivalents. This is a whole family of tubes sold under different alphanumeric designations. You could hardly have a wider choice. Go to Tubes Store for example. Oy.
lewm,

thanks for looking this up, very helpful.

I agree, thousands of hours, and, my office system gets less work than the main system. On the other hand, it could arrive smashed.

It was a 'what if?' and, my recent lousy sounding 6SL7's for my Cayin is a warning about spending money for the wrong substitute. I got lucky, my 2nd choice was a winner.

If it sounds great, a direct replacement may avoid a tube chase.
lewm,

thanks as usual for your help.

any thoughts on using these adapters?

just curious, I am not sure 6sn7 would fit in/thru the case.
