I Have a 6N2P and was under the impression that it may need rewiring of the socket to work...Also read it will sub for a 12AX7- but again may require rewiring...something I have no desire to attempt

6N2P is not a substitute for 12AX7, but it works fine as a substitute for 6N1P, to the best of my knowledge. I have tried it in TORII mkII, CSP, SE34I.2+ in place of 6N1P and it had worked great. The only potential issue is some of the 6N2P's can be more noisy than the 6N1P's (at least, to my experience) so finding one with low noise can be difficult.
