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.

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. |
Hello @jjss49 some here suggested to also change the other tubes in the Heritage, and I will try different tubes there. I have some EH gold pins and DR coming. This weekend match a few Telefunken that my dad bought many many years ago, and I am shipping them to USA so a colleague can swap the ones that came with the amp and power on the Heritage for a week or so to bring to life the tubes.
@mulveling I went to Kevin's site and did not see a video where he talks about 6H30s. Would you kindly share the link? Thank you! |
