Wondered if anyone might have one of these knocking around they’d sell please? Currently preferring the SS output of the (surprisingly good) Xiang sheng 01a dac I have here but wondering if some better glass might change that.
Would also look at direct drop in replacements but 5670s looks a bit fat?
Cheers, J
I've shed loads of these,pm your address and I'll stick a couple in the post.
Simon.

The tube output of the Xiang Sheng is compromised by lesser quality coupling caps.
I contemplated changing them but have stuck with the SS output. I've removed the valve altogether, make the unit run a lot cooler which is better for reliability.

good to know the valve in the xiang is a 6n3. i use both outputs simultaneously

That’s good info, thanks Alan. The SS output is defo sharper to my ears at the mo

I've just bought a bunch of the select version of several types ( inc the 6n3) with gold pins with the intention of passing a few on to save on total postage charges, haven't got round to listing them yet.
Mine had a GE5670 tube . The normal output (via opamps) was so good I didn't waste time tube rolling, and similar to Alan just removed the tube :)

tube rolling is anyway a satan's work

Just to say a massive Thank you to Simon for his help with this. Really nice thing to do, thank you.
Your welcome Jake, it's been a long and winding road but 40 odd years later, I'm delighting in my sounds and glad to be of help to a fellow loon:)

30 valves in the system, they can be a p.i.t.a but when it's right, it's just so right:-)
