Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
Would this adapter work to use the 6SN7 on a LD Mk2? Using “option 3” on the listing? Otherwise, does anyone know of where to grab some good adapters from? Thanks! 12SN7 / 6SN7 TO 12AU7 / 6922- aviationwiz

I reached out to HiBy and that was it - the Apple branded cable isn't supported. Thanks.- aviationwiz

Hiby FC3 Portable DAC&, MQA Compatible
For those of you that have used the FC3 on an iPhone, did you have to do anything special to get it to work? I'm using the Apple USB-C to Lightning cable connected to the FC3, and no dice getting audio to play.- aviationwiz

Excellent, thanks. Looks like this will work excellently for the larger (preamp?) tubes, though the driver tubes are 7 pin.- aviationwiz

I've done some searching and haven't found much - are there any socket savers people would recommend to use with the Little Dot Mk2?- aviationwiz

Schiit Valhalla 2 - Very Quiet
Thanks for the suggestions - I gave those a go (including trying a different source) with no dice. I contacted Schiit a few days ago, so hopefully they'll respond soon.- aviationwiz

I have tried a few different software players and all behave the same. I did a search for exclusive mode, and it looks like this is a Windows setting? I'm running Mac OS and don't see anything similar.- aviationwiz

Apologies if this is the wrong place - but I have a question about how the Valhalla 2 should function. I have it hooked up to my Modi 3+ (which is connected to my Mac using USB) - and it's incredibly quiet. With both system and individual application volume at 100, and the amp on low gain, max...- aviationwiz

Schiit Valhalla 2 - Very Quiet
I just received the Schiit Valhalla 2 and have it hooked up to my Modi 3+ (which is connected to my Mac using USB) - and it's incredibly quiet. With software volume set to the ~75-80 range, and the amp on low gain, max volume, the headphone volume is... listenable, though not loud by any...- aviationwiz

I’m brand new to all this - so potentially take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve seen 2,000 hours service life and “no less than 2,000 hours” service life online when searching about the 6N6P - I don’t know if this potentially varies by manufacturer though.- aviationwiz

Thanks! My next question, leading off that... tubemongers has unpaired CV4033's with imperfect test scores for $30, and also matched pairs for $45/each - is the extra cost for the matched pairs a must? Similarly - any issues with the CV455's from Langrex as they appear to be unpaired?- aviationwiz

Schiit Valhalla Tube Rolling thread.
Hello all - I've been lurking for a while, though it's my first time posting - I'm new to tube amps, and just ordered my Valhalla 2 which will be here next week. Having spent a considerable amount of time (though admittedly I haven't looked through all 111 pages), I was looking at the Brimar...- aviationwiz
