6H30 replacement
I have looked for a western replacement for the 6H30, but I believe the 6DJ8, 6922 or 7308 would get destroyed because if the high voltage.
this is for a hybrid amp, Pathos Heritage. When I bought the amp, I was told that the voltage was low enough for 6DJ8, 6922 or 7308 but now I am being told otherwise.
I just have no ears for the 6H30s and I want to get them out of my amp if at all possible.
thank you for your help.

@mulveling you are talking about the key issue. 6h30 is a very strong horse,and very difficult to ride in the pre. Once they are going to ride, doesn't not say they can ride good. Very few companies have the ability to ride this strong horse in the pre. However, 6h30 in the power amplifier as drive tube is very good as itself is so strong.

Thank God we all have different tastes, no offense taken @dekay . What a bore it would be if everyone owned ARC…. Best to all, happy Sunday Jim |
When I get back to the USA to receive my TT, I will have the Telefunken and EH 6H30s with me. I also talked to Andy, Brent and Jesse and since I have the Telefunken the common tubes they recommended are: Mazda France SILVERPLATE TRIPLE MICA. 12AX7 Mullard LONGPLATE, Square getter, 1950s. 12AX7 Amperex Bugleboy type, long narrow plates, foil-strip D-getter, 1950s codes. 12AX7A / CV4035 / F6057 RARE Brimar box plate military type. I have a few amps/preamps I could use these so it will be fun. As for the DR, I am in touch with a French dealer and he has some so I will probably get one pair and see if I like them, he will put on hold another for 30 days so I can a pair for replacement.
If you have a specific 12AX7 you love, I would love to hear. |
