| 6H30 replacement In the ARC Reference 6, they sound neither exactly like traditional tubes nor solid-state, but actually sound more "right" than either (including excellent tubes like 6SN7 and 6922). As I said, I think AR have found a way of voicing their amps ... | |
| 6H30 replacement why does the‘79 have the old Reflector logo? | |

| 6H30 replacement Pesky, while the specs look close, the 5687 is not pin compatible with tbe 6H30 I‘m pretty sure you can get adapters though. I know there were ones that let you use 6N6Ps in 5687 apps. If not, it‘s pretty easy to make yr own. I never let pinout... | |
