Any idea where you got those adapters?
First hit on Google: https://www.angela.com/tubeconversionadapter6sj7octal8pinbottomtoef869pintop.aspx
I just searched for "ef86 to 6sj7 adapter"
Any idea where you got those adapters?
Wondering if anyone picked up the newest version of this amp. There were some slight changes made. Of the many integrated amps I have listened to, the 301 tops them all. Love it with the KT77s.
I want to keep this thread going and hear some more opinions. A guy I know who builds TPA 3118 amps really thinks I would be happy with this set amp due to I have 97db efficient ZU Audio Speakers.
Hey guys, I got a pair of GL 12AX7's for the pre-amp. They're a different pin-out. Didn't realize that when I put them on the wishlist for Christmas. Anyhow, I looked through eBay for those adapters listed some posts back. I ordered an adapter EF86/Z729 on top to 6SJ7/6J8P on bottom. The adapters got here and I snapped the GL's in and then put them into the pre-amp spots. No go. Got no sound or glow. What did I screw up?! I popped my kenrad's back in and things sound good again (got a set of GL KT77's to try and had hoped to pair them with the 12AX7's).
Well poop. I guess I need to figure out what to do with these.

Ya, ya, ya. I read the manual before and after I bought it. After seeing someone here with a EF86 adapter in the preamp I thought it would work. So I tried it. It didn't work and now I'm more wise for it. I mentioned getting them some posts back and no one said a thing.Did you look at a picture of the amp and read the description before you bought it? I'm not sure how you did this but jeez, man. Right on the MP page it tells you what tubes it can use. And just by looking at it you can tell which ones go in front versus the output tubes in the back.
