I plan on trying out the Aikido amplifier for a new passive EQ.

I already have a nice pair of RCA 6SN7's, but I would need more.. And boy, have they gone up in value! :shock: It doesn't seem to make a difference to buy a 12SN7 or any other heater equivalent these days, everyone seems to know the options. I don't mind putting 40 euros in tubes now, but if the trend keeps on going, I would like to be able to maintetance the thing in the future, too.
The Loktal equivalents seem to be cheap though, 7N7, 7AF7, 14N7, 14AF7.. Is the Loktal socket a good one? It was never that popular.
The single 6SN7, the 6J5 is cheap too. Maybe I should build with them and have 8 octal sockets. :razz:
Or maybe I should just give up and go Noval.
