You need to check with Cary.
6SN7 has @ least double the heater specs (VS the 6922) and the gains are different.
Not a 6SN7 fan myself, but it's been almost 20 years since I've auditioned tube gear (things change).

6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?
I was messing around on tubedepots website, and when I put in 6sn7 as a serach enginge, these adapters came up to put into a 6922 socket so the 6SN7 could be used.
I would be using a pair of them in front of a Cary v12 (Cary calls them the "driver + input" tubes). There is plent of room on the amp where those tubes would be going. I have several pairs of tested good vintage 6SN7s I could roll in those sockets, and that's why the adapters caught my interest.

Thanks @dekay , I just double posted on misc as I was hoping to beat the end of tube depot's sale, but with what you just told me, I won't be in a rush and will error on the side of trying to do no harm. I am not tech minded at all, and I will email Cary, but my experience is that if they answer me, they won't be in any rush to do so. Thanks again. |
I would be very cautious but if it’s a go by Cary look at Garage 1217 tube adapters vey nice quality. If you buy from tube depot or Garage 1217 make sure you don’t push the adapter tube pins to far down in the amps tube sockets, just make sure you don’t bottom it out you can damage the wire connecting to the amps tube socket. |
