6H30 replacement

I have looked for a western replacement for the 6H30, but I believe the 6DJ8, 6922 or 7308 would get destroyed because if the high voltage.

this is for a hybrid amp, Pathos Heritage. When I bought the amp, I was told that the voltage was low enough for 6DJ8, 6922 or 7308 but now I am being told otherwise.

I just have no ears for the 6H30s and I want to get them out of my amp if at all possible.

thank you for your help.

Thank God we all have different tastes, no offense taken @dekay . What a bore it would be if everyone owned ARC….

Best to all, happy Sunday

When I get back to the USA to receive my TT, I will have the Telefunken and EH 6H30s with me.

I also talked to Andy, Brent and Jesse and since I have the Telefunken the common tubes they recommended are:

Mazda France SILVERPLATE TRIPLE MICA.

12AX7 Mullard LONGPLATE, Square getter, 1950s.

12AX7 Amperex Bugleboy type, long narrow plates, foil-strip D-getter, 1950s codes.

12AX7A / CV4035 / F6057 RARE Brimar box plate military type.

I have a few amps/preamps I could use these so it will be fun.

As for the DR, I am in touch with a French dealer and he has some so I will probably get one pair and see if I like them, he will put on hold another for 30 days so I can a pair for replacement. 

 

If you have a specific  12AX7 you love, I would love to hear.

The Mazda silver plates are absolutely amazing, and the best 12ax7 I've ever heard as long as you're not depending on this 12ax7 to be a source of warmth.
