  Text from link - a reviewer of the Aiyima T8 preamp/DAC: "I got this for Schlitz and Giggles. It's not going win awards for epic sound quality. I was surprised though! I love it for 70s, 80s, and 90s music. It reminded me of what our stereo growing up sounded like in those decades. Instant nostalgia and endless fun.
  
  "I did get the wild brain idea of using a 5670 (T8 socket) to 6ns7 tube converter. Using PSVANE UK 6NS7, added more fullness to the lower end and air to the treble."

    Eric Barbour in Vacuum Tube Valley tested a huge array of 6SN7 tubes and compared them to several other tube types, just to put the 6SN7 in context. These tubes were listed in increasing percentage of 2H distortion. I found it interesting to see that he found the best 76, 5687, 6CG7, 12SX7, and 396 (5670) as having lower distortion than the best 6SN7.

        Sorry about the link. It is an excellent article for those interested in the 6SN7. Personally I use the EC86, EC8010, 76, 5687 and the 6F8G in my amps. I used the 5670 in Eli Duttman's "El Cheapo" inspired amp. I gave all my 6SN7s to a friend a decade or more ago, since I thought millions were made, they will never be scarce. It turns out the best ones are scarce.
