Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer


A Shuguang 6N1 is included with the tube buffer from the factory. It sounds pleasant. An Amperex 6dj8 orange globe A frame I tried, sounded surprisingly thin and the highs shrill. I can only guess that the buffer is "voiced" for the supplied Shuguang 6N1 tube and NOS tubes therefore don't sound as one would expect.
I read that owners of Yaqin & Pacific Valve tube buffers have bee using JAN Philip green label 6922.
Does anybody have any other experience with tube upgrades for these tube buffers?
Thanks.

try 5654 tubes or mullard ef95 or 6ak5.i have had excellent results with all of those however i recomend getting russian american and tung sol [which can be found esaliy on ebay or anywhere] is pretty warm very warm to soft for me but when the supplied tubes break in 100 hours or so they dont sound bad even for the price! dont cry because the miracle dosent happen for 150$ LOL!!! great product.
I have heard many other people complaining abot the 6d orange so I think its just that tube.Try any 6922 or a JJ works just fine.
