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.

@astolfor … pleased that you went for the French guys DR’s , they seemed at least reasonable in an unreasonable market for NOS DR’s 

@tsushima1 he sold them to someone else although we had agreed.

maybe it is for best, something else will show up.

If necessary I could live for a good while just by selling off extra gear, but it would be like cutting off a piece of flesh each time. Inevitably I’ll decide I NEED something right after I just sold it.

And tuberolling is very much like winetasting! Sometimes I find that I’m just looking for a change. A tuberoll can easily impart that, but its positive effect might not last more than a few days before wanting A DIFFERENT change. That can be fun at first but it gets old. If you don’t find yourself settling down on a tube set, it’s probably best to re-examine the bigger component matches and setup.
