6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?
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 e... 
6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?

@yogiboy  , thank you.  Just before you responded I did send them an email.  If they do not respond tomorrow early enough, I will call them before their sale ends.
