Those E283CC you got should be analogous. With bit more gain even. In any case 6H2Π-ΕΡ is the best 6Η2Π variety for the Itch and worth having.
Its a reliable contact tube socket that brand. Not always the case with fancy expensive sockets. Loose gold pins ceramic happen a lot. Especially with tube rolling.
Gripping clean contacts matter more than exotic materials in audio frequencies.
By the way how do you like your Valve Itch now? Can you detect the tilt from light 15.5nF you had to 15.9nF heavy? Light/heavy vs 15.75nF C3 in schematic I mean.

Good morning, I hope it's ok to cross-post, it might help other builders : I have 3 sets of PCBs for sale, see Swap Meet post.
Yes I checked postage to USA and it's about 25$ from Swsitzerland. Ordering from JLPCB cost me 33 CHF, about same in US$, for 2 x 5 PCB.
One day I had an itch to try some other tubes for my Itch. Read some good reviews for the Linlai 6SN7 and decided to order a pair.
I left them to burn a couple of days and did a lot of listening the last couple of weeks. However they did not live up to my expectations. Compared to my Tungsol reissues they were a little thin, less resolution and not so good on the bass. So the Tungsols are back into service.

Maybe try 7n7 with an adaptor some day. As good as the Itch is I still prefer my UFSP.
I have a loctal socket but do not want to mess with the pcb.

Musical, it' s another way to say that makes music softer and sweeter, mainly in vocals and simpler music. It can be seductive, I agree, but the Ufsp has more resolution, you hear more, especially in complex music scores, and is more accurate and more dynamic.
