Just been perusing the internet Looking for some Siemens EC88'S. Anyone know who stocks them in the UK.
agree!!! I'm going back to stock tubes, I prefer them, will still be trying siemens, but will borrow a set, tubes are 6922 or equivelent IE ecc83 IS ANOTHER.You haven't got the fekking thing yet. Give it a bloody chance mate
'ecc83'? is that a typo? E88CC is a direct replacement, ECC88/6DJ8 is a near replacement.HiFiWigWam wrote:agree!!!

Im not sure that is always the case, I can imagine the problem for manufacturerscould besourcing a commercial quantity to meet the volume levels they need, as well as finding suitable quality and consistency. When you start looking into the more exotic NOS varieties itmust beharder not only to get a decent quantity but particularly to get consitency when some batches are not as good as others. Its easier for an owner to just pick up a couple and experiment, but I do agree that the differencesare not always going to be better.Paul wrote:Yup.HiFiWigWam wrote:agree!!!

I'm sure DK would have used diffeent tubes had they sounded "better". Its not a cheap amp after all. Of course a change might rectify some compatibility issue that may creep in....
Of course Doovs is just desperate to get into tube tweakery, as would we all be with our first vacuum amp.
Not true, I have spoken a few times with the nice chaps at DK and the EH 6922 was picked because its a goodvalve with a long life and few problems, thisvalve was picked as a replacment for the very cheapvalve that is supplied by the company in China that builds the amplifer.Paul wrote:Yup.HiFiWigWam wrote:agree!!!

yes it was you are correct, 6n1P is another IIRCPaul wrote:'ecc83'? is that a typo? E88CC is a direct replacement, ECC88/6DJ8 is a near replacement.HiFiWigWam wrote:agree!!!

I would be very cautious in the use of a 6n1p as this isn't really a direct or even near equivalent (even though its often touted as such) as far as I'm aware, although others may disagreemrwippy wrote:yes it was you are correct, 6n1P is another IIRCPaul wrote:'ecc83'? is that a typo?

I would not use a 6n1P it has twice the filiment current try the 6DJ8 by Sovtekmrwippy wrote:yes it was you are correct, 6n1P is another IIRCPaul wrote:'ecc83'? is that a typo?

my comment was less about what's suitable for the amp, and whats "touted" as a direct replacement for a 6922, so far the EH originals are staying put in my DKPaul wrote:I would be very cautious in the use of a 6n1p as this isn't really a direct or even near equivalent (even though its often touted as such) as far as I'm aware, although others may disagreemrwippy wrote:yes it was you are correct, 6n1P is another IIRCPaul wrote:'ecc83'? is that a typo?

Give it a bloody chance mate- the nearest Russian designated 'near' equivalent is a 6n23p (=6DJ8).
