6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?


I was messing around on tubedepots website, and when I put in 6sn7 as a serach enginge, these adapters came up to put into a 6922 socket so the 6SN7 could be used.

I would be using a pair of them in front of a Cary v12 (Cary calls them the "driver + input" tubes). There is plent of room on the amp  where those tubes would be going.  I have several pairs of tested good vintage 6SN7s I could roll in those sockets, and that's why the adapters caught my interest.

I would be very cautious but if it’s a go by Cary look at Garage 1217 tube adapters vey nice quality. If you buy from tube depot or Garage 1217 make sure you don’t push the adapter tube pins to far down in the amps tube sockets, just make sure you don’t bottom it out you can damage the wire connecting to the amps tube socket.

Thanks to all.

That is enough for me to banish the idea from my mind.

I wonder why they make such an adapter?

Because someone will buy it not knowing that it really won't work.

@atmasphere  , that doesn't seem to speak well for tubedepot if they are selling it and knowing it is a bad idea.
