Title: iFi Audio NOS 6922
Post by: JoeyGS on Jan 16, 2017 at 03:23 PM

Has anyone got to try the iFi Audio NOS 6922?   
 
Its a GE5670 + Adapter -- NOS 6922 = GE5670 + Special adapter. 

Is it true that the General Electric 5670 tube is General Electric's version of the well regarded Western Electric WE396A?

might as well be....
looking at the datasheets, they look identical to me...
same mu. same transconductance, ergo, same plate resistance...

you may want to try the japanese 6RHH2, yet another flavor of the 6922....

Nice read! Try ko kaya din to sa MF X10D ko, magkasya kaya? I can't find dimensions of the adapter. I also have some GE 5670 on my spares.

mas punggok ang 5670 kaysa 6922......
