RE: These are the right adapters if you want to run 6CG7s in the MAC amps in place of the 12au7s.

beware! you will have doubled the heater current requirement by running decent tubes"

While this is true,keep in mind that it is no problem for the MAC amps because the Mac amps have the potential to run two C8 preamps which have three 12AX7s each,that you will not be running.So ask yourself the question.Is the difference in current that the 6CG7s draw vs the 12AU7s going to even come close to what six 12AX7s draw,running at 6.3vac each?
