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.

Tube Depot has the we396a 1958 “D” getter just in.  Or is it a Western Electric JW2C51?  I ordered one.  Let you know.

Update.  The military jw2c51 arrived and it is identical to my civilian version in every way.  Both military and civilian versions say jw2c51 at the top of the tube.  Only the civilian version says we396a at the bottom.  Same ink, style and logo.  Same black plate, “D” getter and construction.
