  So far, so good. Had to find an adapter with a collar narrow enough to allow me to engage the socket below the top plate. I find the sound open and detailed using a JJ 6SN7 tube. No, I can't say certainly what difference, if any, I detect versus the stock 5670 tube. Gain is not as reduced as I feared. I think I prefer the soundstage just a bit with the new arrangement, but it could also be my imagination. However, the larger and taller tube certainly looks neat on the little Aiyima T8. I think it all sounds quite nice.

    If you like the sound with a JJ 6SN7, I think you would be thrilled with a good vintage 6SN7, say an early Sylvania (W, WGT or WGTA or VT231 or 1952 Badboy)

      Thanks. Might try one. Listened today to an open reel prerecorded tape. Barclay-Crocker. Alfred Brenden. Beethoven Choral Fantasy and Piano Concerto No 2. Superb imaging and detail.
