Look here as well. With these you can run 6SN7s in your Mac amps in place of 12AU7s

These are more money but they made incredibly well.

...Read the description! "Don't use these things if your sockets are flush with or below chassis." Vintage Mac sockets are essentially flush mount. KaBlam!!!

It's back to the Chinese ones I guess.. The one's below that I posted for the 12AU7 to 6cg7 are fine.I just saw the beautiful adapter and thought it would be ok.I didn't see that last part.What you can do is make a plastic insulator that would cover the outer edge pins.That is a shame because those are such beautiful sockets.If the pin stops were thicker,that would do it as well but he would have had to make the pins longer.

I think 6CG7s sound better anyways.
