Tube replacement for Peachtree Decco65


Just wondering what my options are if I want to upgrade to a better tube for my Decco65? I found that the unit uses a 6N1P tube. Is this interchangeable with say, a 12AX7? The reason I ask is I have a whole stock-pile of 12AX7s from my previous tube amp. Thanks!

Hi zbiener, sorry for the delayed response. Haven't been on agon in a while...

No, I haven't tried any different tubes yet. I suspect I'll go with a Sovtek 6N1P w/ high gain option if I ever decide to play around, since it's cheap and the only 6N1P option available from where I typically purchase my tubes. Got my integrated tube amp back in service so I've been neglecting my solid-state(ish) stuff! LOL
Get yourself a nice 70's or 80's NOS 6N1P from Siberian Market on Ebay.

My Grommes PHI-26 uses the 6N1P but i can also use a 6cg7. Not sure if this will work in your Peachtree but if it can an old RCA black plate will really sound good and they are cheap
Yeah, I began to think the tube preamp stage was more a marketing gimmick than anything else. That's not a criticism of the Decco, it was a decent integrated and DAC at the price but it's not the platform to hear what tube rolling can do.
Thanks Sfar! Ya I haven't noticed a difference at all between having the tube stage on or off. I figured that maybe playing around with different tubes might make an audible difference but I trust your judgement that it probably won't.
No, as far as I know the closest equivalents to the 6N1P tube would be the 6DJ8 or 6922. The 6922 is what I used to 'upgrade' my original Decco integrated but I can't say that it made much difference in the sound.
