Chinese 6N1 tube replacement

[analogrules]

Hello ,
Does any one have any idea what tubes can replace the Chinese 6N1 tube ?

Russian 6N1P-EB

6DJ8 / 6922 / ECC88 / 7308 can be good alternatives, but it depends on the circuit.
Do you have a schematic of how and where the 6N1 tube is used?

The chinese 6n1 is a sick (and very different) puppy, but very often, tube amp manufacturers design around the russian 6n1p and plugin chinese toys afterwards.

i've got the yaqin mc-10L and i hate my life. I've plugged in philips sq e88cc and fried them. The Russians 6n1p-eb i have all seem noisy. Hope you don't have the same problem

I've plugged in philips sq e88cc and fried them.

How would that be possible?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

6DJ8 / 6922 / ECC88 / 7308 can be good alternatives, but it depends on the circuit.

If the max plate voltage of 90V (or 130V?) for these tubes need to be respected, it could be a problem.

The 6CG7 will also work well as a substitute for 6N1 in many circuits.

What is so different about it ? Good or bad ? What about the others , witch one sounds good ? There going in a Yaqin VK 2100

Well everytime I put 6922/6dj8/e88cc variant into the amp, they turn on, you see flashes in the tube and bye bye tube most if the time. I've seen people use pcc88 but I'm not game.. Isn't the 6n1 plate voltage ALOT higher than a 6dj8 variant?

Going back about 3 years - On a Music Angel PP EL34 Amp I successfully subbed Winged 'C' Svetlana 6N1P. They were MUCH better.

It is a yaqin vk2100 Im using 6922 now but would like to upgrade !
I had the same amp with 12au7 and liked it alot but now I have this one .
Do you know what would give me that sweet sound of a 12au7 ?

Thank !

6AQ8/ECC85? This is similar to 12AT7/ECC81 but using a 6DJ8/ECC88 pinout.

I tried various makes of ECC85 and they did not match well in my amplifier. I had problems with micro-phony and some exhibited very high frequency oscillation. After a period of experimentation I went back to using Svetlana 6N1-P that had a large Gold S logo. These sounded best in my amp compared to other Russian 6N1's and in particular my last set of Svetlana 6N1-P's I tried, with a Black winged C logo, which sounded very poor. Just wish I could get hold of the Gold S logo ones again but they seem hard to find.

I got a MUSIC ANGEL XDSE9 With 5 6NI Chinese Tubes on The Input Mode and 8X EL34 B on The Power OUTPUT MODE.
Can I Replace The 5 6NI Tubes with 12AX 7 Tube and Replace The * EL34 B tubes With TUNG SOL EL34B.
YOUR HELP for a Direct Replacement will be Appreciated
Kind Regards
Francis Jansz

Francis,
You can cerrtainly do the EL34 swap, however, to the best of my knowledge, the 12AX7 can not be substituted for the 6N1.
Mal and Carole at Evatco (Queensland) can help you with these Svetlana (New Sensor) types:
6N1PSV | Evatco | Electronic Valve & Tube Co.
Cheers,
Ian

Dear Ian,
I thank you for The Information, and I will contact Mal& Carole in Reference to The 6NIPSV Tubes.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Svetlana (Winged C) never produced 6N1P, the svetlana 6N1P was produced by Voskhod, Kaluga. The Svetlana 6N1P available today is (I belive) produced by expo pul factory in Saratov, both in Russia. IMO the best of the 6N1P available is the 6N1P-EV produced at Voskhod factory ( with the rocket symbol) before 1984. The closest western equivalent is 6BQ7 or ECC180 (6BQ7A).
