" But then he also writes: "A few notes: the connection can be made from pin 3 to pin 1 since 1 and 6 are internally connected in this tube."
The original writer here is talking about his 6P15P connections. He carefully stated:"...- for EL34s you put the cap between pins 1 and 8...-"
It worries me that you are confused. If you do this Hazen Mod please read the instructions very carefully and proceed very cautiously. It would be good to get some experienced help with it.
Triode Kingdom's advice to put in a switch to rapidly compare will complicate this unnecessarily. Trust your ears and audio memory - to you that is all that matters.

Yes, let's perpetuate yet another myth in this chaotic hobby. LOL.

The "trust your ears myth" is not quite as bad as the other one. That myth says "double blind testing is required before you are allowed to choose and enjoy your equipment" LOL.
"double blind testing is required before you are allowed to choose and enjoy your equipment"
I've never heard anyone say that.
I have heard people say that if it (differences) can't be heard in a DBT then it doesn't exist but that's not the same thing as the above. Not by a long shot.

"...double blind testing is required before you are allowed to choose and enjoy your equipment"But of course that's not what this discussion is about, nor have I ever said such a thing. You're just looking for trouble. :)

That was what you advised the OP by implication; told him to hook up switches and conduct blind tests to objectively evaluate the results because his ears can't be trusted. I'm not looking for trouble but trying to prevent it. The OP, who was confused about pin numbers, appears to be a newbie wanting to try something simple and inexpensive and I suggested that adding switches is a unnecessary complication in this context. You then chose to call it "perpetuating a myth".
LOL, just making it up as you go along. Fine by me, enjoy your fantasy.

Thanks for clearing that up. OP had a remarcable nack of making a completely simple mod confusing.
what is the mod suppose to do technically and audibly, please anyone...
Have not tried it yet. Since I don't have EL34's nor an amp with the 6P15P.
