6N2P-EV Input Tube

A seller accidentally sent me one of these and apparently does not want it back. Is this even applicable to use in a Zen UFO? Thanks! Smiley

6N2P is like a 12AX7/ECC83, so not a good match for a UFO. But if you have (or might get) a phono stage that uses those tubes it would work there.

Hey Mike,

I don't know about the UFO, but when I needed a little more clarity and push in my 1st Decware amp, an earlier SE34 (now Rachel), Steve recommended trying 6N2Ps in the 6922/6DJ8/6N1P position along with KT77s for power. I used both for quite a while preferring the bigger open and dynamic sound they gave together.

Not that this will work with your amp, but often Decware is quite flexible tube wise... so if really interesting in trying them, might be worth a search on the forum and/or an email to Steve.

Will

I appreciate that will! Something to look into then down the road. I have a 6n5p installed as a test drive right now. Another awesome sounding input tube! All the best to you and yours..  [smiley=icqlite20.png]  Mike

Yes I have tried a few of those 6N5Ps and those I have reveal an interesting blend of rich textures in space from a "real" "warmth"... weighing a little darkish without much sacrifice to detail and space. Nice! Tubes are a lot of fun. Smiley

So can I put in a 6N2P-EV tube into my SE84UFO without it blowing up?
I am curious to how it would change the sound.
Thanks!
