Title: 6N23P vs. 6N23P-EV Post by piezoman on 08/03/21 at 03:09:44 Excerpted from a thread on Audiogon: "Many years ago, I asked a service technician about the 6N23P for my 6922 preamp. Here’s his response: -I’m glad you asked me because the 6N23P-EV (in our alphabet) is not the one to get. The 6922 drop-in replacement is the straight-up 6N23P. The EV versions have too-low cathode resistance that will draw too much current in a 6922 circuit and lead to a lack of headroom that compromises dynamics. The regular version is dead-on. Many people get it wrong and think the EV is better, which is true in the case of 6P14P (EL84 power pentode), but is not for the 6922 replacement." ------------------- Any thoughts? - Brad |

Title: Re: 6N23P vs. 6N23P-EV Post by DancingSea on 06/07/22 at 03:09:48 I'm wondering about something somewhat similar. My CSP3 shipped with 6N1P-EB tubes. I'm guessing they're Russian NOS, but the markings give nothing away. The CSP3 manual says the 6N1P-EB is the correct input tube (along with 6922 and 6DJ8). In the tube replacement section of the Decware website, they have a 6N1P-EV tube (Russian NOS). I'm wondering if A) the 6N1P-EV will work properly on the CSP3's input and B) how the EV part differs from the EB part? I love the sound of my 6N1P-EB but am not sure if the 6N1P-EV will sound the same. |

Short answer is yes and none. Longer answer is Cyrillic B translates to English V so you will see EV and EB used interchangeably. |
