I would really like, by someone who owns both, what is the sound difference between the Vali 2 ( Or Vali 2 + ++ ) and Vali 3 , in terms of Tube rolling , does the new Vali 3 will reveal more then the Vali 2, the flavor of different tubes ? Does it sounds a little more tubey in general. then the Vali 2 ? Thank you for your answers.
From what I've read the extra voltage going to the tube brings out more in it. Someone that has the Vali 2++ (as I do) said that the Vali 3 sounded better.
I got my adapter here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201458214762
I still do not know what I am populating it with, but I have a few weeks to get that sorted out.

But the Vali 2 as lower voltage then the Vali 2 + , and it seems that the Vali 2 OG as the more color tubey sound and the Vali 2 + sound more like a solid state amp, see at 16:40 min of this video review
So i hope with the Vali 3 they went back with the more color tubey sound like the Vali 2 OG, which tube rolling is more revelant with the OG Vali 2

Anyone using Garage1217 6922<>5670 adapter? Have a few 6CG7 tubes which don't work soley with 'Vali 3'. 6CG7 pinout same as 6922. Curious rolling those...
Quick thoughts; sold Piety--enjoying the brighter clean presentation Vali offers. Recently plugged in GE 5670 5-STAR today-subtle differences. RCA Command 5670 on the way...
Looking at Western Electric 396A... single tube locally could pick up at 95$ USD (1977 or 1982) seems could find a better deal but they're brand new from a Canadian communication company's reserve stock department. Read early production run is supposedly better than later production (Square/ Circle getter).
CFA Supermoon 4hr listening session, beautifully sonic pairing. Played around with (hi/lo) gain top volume range (11/3). Grado RS1X another blissful pairing--musically airy.

To my ears, the 50s to early 60s 396A are sweeter and more detailed. However, it's not a bad idea to start in the 70s and work your way back to the 50s WE 396A.
Jeremy makes great adapters - have a few of them and held up to years of rolling madness,

Yes, one needs a 6922 to 5670 adapter also. I have one of those on the way from Garage 1217. The reason being I have a 6SN7 to 6922 adapter leftover from my Vali2. Also the 6j5 adapters I found are either 6j5 x2 to 6SN7 or 6j5 x2 to 6922. Nothing for 6j5 x2 to 5670. Even if there was one we would have to use a socket saver to get the big adapter high enough to plug in.
