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.

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.

Hi Mike - I have been thinning the herd, i am down to just 2 turntables…ha.

Pathos will not give me any technical information, beyond saying that the amp is designed for the 6H30. 

6n6p specs look similar to the uneducated eye. 

@mulveling What do you think about 6n6p as a direct replacement for the 6H30? 

I have been reading in the ARC forums that some use them and like the dynamics and not as in your face. 

Victor Khomenko (BAT), commented in a forum they are not exactly and might not last long so to buy a lot of them.... :) 

 

Any thoughts?
