Tubes for BAT

[JohnA]

I was wondering if anyone with a BAT cdp or pre amp has swapped out the 6h30 tubes with the 6n6p tube.

I am reading mixed opinions on this one.

Lukasz Fiskus, who is the designer/builder behind Lampizator, modded many VK-D5's over the last decade. He seems to like the 6H6/6N6 tube. He posted, the biggest and quickest improvement is over 6H30P - the tube popularized by BAT and its creator mr. Khomenko. He raves that 6H30 is a supertube, but in my opinion it is very coarse, hard and glassy by comparison. I hate 6H30 in circuits which I tried, including my own BAT VK-D5SE cd player. Anyone having BAT gear should immediately give 6H6P a try without any other circuit mods. You will be surprised."


but then i read the 6n6p is not a direct drop in replacement for the 6h30.
plate resistance of 6H6P is more than twice higher which means that output impedance of player will go up

now with the price of the 6h30 supertubes going through the roof, i am wondering if anyone here has swapped them out with 6n6p
