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.
@armstrod I've often felt that the 6922 is not a good tube for audio and also think the 6SN7 to be better. But the 6SN7 has different operating characteristics so its highly unlikely that the 6SN7 in your situation is actually strutting its stuff. A change in the cathode resistor value is likely to unlock that. |
