..hmmm, are they similar in the way? will it void the warranty? the 807 is not listed on the substitute for 6L6..
Has anyone here listened to both the first version and the current version of the mp-301? I currently have the original and use it with tekton design 4.1 speakers and headphones. I have recently had some issues with tunes getting noisy when listening to headphones. I was considering upgrading amps and am wondering if the updated version is for me or if I should look elsewhere.
The first version of the MP-301 should be very quiet when using with headphones. Please use 6au6 and 6v6 tubes.
I have an amp designed for the 6L6 tube, and at one point I got adapters so I could use it with the 807 tube. The adapters were $50 for the pair off eBay.Tested the 807-to-6L6 adapter and RCA 807 tubes with the MP-301 MK3. Works perfectly.

To me, the 807 tube is much better than the curent production 6L6s I tried, and better than a pair of GE old stock. And the 807s are very inexpensive and extremely durable. NOS RCAs for example were less than $30 delivered, but that was about 5 years ago so it may have changed.
IOW - If you're looking to roll some good tubes in the MP-301 or any 6L6 amp, the 807 might be a good place to look.
