Not saying you should fit it, just that its the correct socket for a ecc40 (b8a rimlock) if it had used them there would be no chance of the valve being inserted incorrectly.

I know Nick it just looked like your original photo was of one that could be fitted to either the socket or valve and if it cost £3.50 I would get it to be sure.
Lukasz doesn't recommend any tube rolling and suggests the valves will last 10+yrs as they are very under stressed hence he either skimped or didn't see the need.
Or just didn't cop it.
No more news about the HeadDAC BIG 7 (Big7 with built-in Headphone AMP) ?

Nice long term Lampi review here:

He writes well. But then you have to ask yourself how much does wanky prose count for over actually sitting in front of the things for real and deciding for yourself whether he is talking b****x or not?
I rate the later. But if the literacy appeals enough to get you in front of these products in the first place I guess it has achieved the effect I presume he wanted.

I have a few sets of the tubes. The adaptors I bought do not work. They are wired wrong. I intend to fix them soon. And report back. So far the leader for me is 6a3. But a friend who had my tubes a whole bunch feels the 300 B carbon just edged them out. And I truly trust his call. I have heard his set up and it's very clean and transparent. The improvement is minor but it's there.
I also have Elrogs coming and a few others.
At conclusion rolling tubes is a cheap way to change ones sound signature and is fun an rewarding. It allows me to set the mood if not explore sounds without breaking the bank.

Those Sophia Carbons are 2.5v 300Bs, not the normal 5v 300b.
