I got these 7199 adapters and tubes for $35 with free shipping (ebay).
They work great! If anything there seems to be be slightly more "balls" to the sound. I just figured I would save the Sherwood 7199's for a rainy day.
Highly recommended. For the price of a single used 7199 you get two adapters and two nos tubes.
By the way, my Samra'd Sherwood S-5000 sounds even better than it did when I first got it back a couple months ago. Maybe those Russian Teflon coupling caps just take some time to bloom - Dunno? The sound is W-I-D-E open now.
I have been driving a pair of Paradigm Reference 40 v3 to great effect.
I will have my Cornscala's back soon - Can't wait!
I hope you all have a great year.
