Help! Does 6080 be compatible with 6N5P?
01/05/23 at 08:14:09

I've got SE84UFO25 for som weeks, for the input tube, I really like 6N5P,the sound is rich and warm.
As a newbie,I learned from WEB that 6N5P is compatible with 6080,can be replaced directly.So I buy a CSF 6080 made from France and a Marconi 6080 to begin with some tube rolling. I've just got the Marconi 6080,emm..,per the photo ,left side is 6080 and right side is 6N5p from Decware,why the 6080'pin be thicker and have no gap,so the 6080 can not be installed on the socket.
Shoud I need a adapter ?If so, which adaptor be suitable?
Thanks in advance!

BTW, I've installed EML 274B as rectifier tube ,learning from forum.The sound is to my taste,I like it Grin

The 6080 is power tube, I use them in my pre/headphone amp and very different from a 6N5P. The Russian equivalent of the 6080 is the 6N5S, maybe there was a typo.
