  With very high transconductance tubes, adapters are a very, very bad idea. If you need to use 6C45PI's instead of 437's, replace the sockets.

      Noise and oscillations are already an issue with these tubes, when you add an adapter plug, you will at least make the oscillation problem a lot worse.

            I honestly don't know, but every time I ask about a tube adapter the chorus of answers is...Ebay.... I would like to make some conversions myself but do worry about the sanity of these thoughts, not having any real knowledge. I can't just assume if they make an adapter that the switch makes good sense. I may try it, at my peril however.

              Very fine quality parts and customer service from Japan.

              The cost of four sockets and plates with shipping was $372 which is more than fair considering the parts quality. I'm not going to use adapters.
