Another question surrounding this post- is there any issue with using a 4v tube in any position on the Lampizator TRP? I’ve seen a few power and rectifier tubes from Philips that are 4v as opposed to 5 for rectifier or 6.3 for power. Would this be undesirable?Whilst were on the subject, I have a pv200/600 rectifier which is a 4V tube. Its pin configuration means it plugs straight in. Any issue with running a 4V tube with no adapter/resistor? I think the socket is 5V?

For basic decently made adapter see https://www.ebay.com/str/xulingaudiolabs. There’s also Marco in Italy on these forums (and eBay) who sells quality tubes and has a tech that custom makes adapters. However, the tech recently had a hand operation and is out of commission for a few more weeks (I’m awaiting one myself). I’m not sure if Marco would ok an adapter built separate from a tube sale though. Have to ask.Got it- are these adapters commonly available? I’ve used the typical Xuling made stuff so far but hadn’t noticed anything that called out specifics for 4v to others.
Not the nicest looking, but the design seems like it would make it easy to upgrade the resistors if desired.Need to choose your exact valve (majority are 2amp / 2004 spec)

Very sensible recommendation Ron.Not the nicest looking, but the design seems like it would make it easy to upgrade the resistors if desired.

Look up the heater and pin specs and buy a voltmeter to run across the two heater pins.I recently saw a set of Philips ABL1 pentodes for sale that I thought may be interesting but of course realized they are 4V/2.4A so I let it be. Also an AZ rectifier that falls into the same 4V category. If this adapter suits the application that would be great! Thank you for the info!
Excellent attitudeI know many guys who do this everyday with their amps and one of them swears by these Philips tubes. I know it’s not really the same thing (amp vs dac) but I‘d like to see how well they work with the dac. Maybe good, maybe not.
