MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING

I have had experiences of using Vintage E88CC and have been demonstrated some of the Valves mentioned above in devices that I own.

As a result I have acquired a selection of early 60's E88CC's from different producers

One Tube not mentioned and very worthy of being trialed is the early 60's Mullard CV 2493, these are rare to find, even thought not too long ago there was a Matched Pair for sale in the USA, for very fair money, if compared to present UK prices.

I also recently heard on two separate occasions an early 60's German produced E88CC in a CDP and the impact it had made on the device and within the HiFi system was extremely impressive .

The second listening was with a Group of attendees who had at an earlier date, been demonstrated the CDP with the stock valves. The response from the additional attendees were no different to my own, they were in awe of the presentation on offer, and very clear about the valuable impression being made in their appraisals. 

I just want to say thanks to jjss49 for helping me find the right mix of tubes for my Istanbul and Blue Circle pre. His assessment of the REFLECTOR 6H23P-EB / 6922 (PREMIUM) was spot on and switching back to Amperex made all the difference. Great to have some solid advice from someone who's listened to a number of the different options. Saved me a ton of angst and painful discovery. 

Am I missing something here?

I purchased this ECC88 to 5670 adapter. I also purchased a 6DJ8/ECC88 tube.  
But it looks like I don’t need the adapter to install the 6DJ8 tube in my Orchid. All the pins align. I am confused. 
 

This is the adapter I got

just because it fits in the socket doesn’t mean it will work. The pins need to be attached to the correct parts of the dual triode. Here’s a link to a post I did on headfi with a pin layout https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-vali-3-impressions-thread.972014/post-18177283
