MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING

Interested in hearing about tube rolling experiences with the Orchid and other MHDT dacs, namely, the specific comparative sonic characteristics of the various 396a, 5670 and other compatible tubes used in the output buffer. My only experience is with the WE396a that Linear Tube Audio installed in my new Orchid.

I just ordered the adaptor from garage1217.
Do you think this tube will be ok?

Hi jjss49

How do you know how the Russian tube would sound? Is that from experience with one, or from someone else's review, or is there a "way to tell" ? 
I've just tried the Russian tube today (the adaptor just arrived today) and the supplier chucked in a 6dj8 from matsushita. Might try that also. 

If all else fails I'll remove the adaptor and go back to the  TESLA 6CC42 pinched waist, military edition i was using.
