[QUOTE="Curlycat, post: 608265, member: 15256"] I have a preamp that uses 5687 tubes, but finding it hard to get replacement tubes. I see tube converters on Ebay that converts the tube base to take a different tube. (E.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ECC88-6922-6DJ8-ECC85-6N6-6N11-to-5687-Vacuum-tube-adapter-socket-converter-1pcs/281786022652?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33203%26meid%3Dfaaa92597939437fb73cad1a660a1936%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D281785996238 ) 1) Does anyone have any experience using converters? 2) What would be a good replacement tube for the 5687? I was thinking 12AX7 valves? They are readily available not not crazy expensive. If you have a quadset of 5687 tubes I can buy, please PM me :winkwink: [/QUOTE]
