Question:
I've got a ton of 6SN7 tubes and zero 6922 tubes, which I need. Looking on line, I saw adapters that are supposed to make it so I can use the 6SN7 tube in place of the 6922 tube.
Does this work, or will it damage the preamp (Audio Research PH3SE)?
Thanks.

Follow Ups:
Don't do it!! The triodes are VERY different and the 6SN7 draws 2X the heater current. :> ((
The affordable, safe, and decent sounding option is the Russian 6H23Π-EB (6n23p-ev). FYI the ElectroHarmonix (EH) 6922 is 6H23Π-EB.
In current production, JJ's E88CC and New Sensor's "reissue" Genelex are possibilities. However, quite a few units abuse the tubes and only the 6H23Π-EB is definitely tough enough to take the beating.

Thanks, Eli.
This kind of sucks since I've got probably 20 or so 6sn7 tubes.

how's the new amps?
be well,
Pretty amazing.
I used to own the MB-125s, which I really loved but sold about five years ago when I quit the speaker-based audiophile hobby. Since I've gotten back into about a year or so back, I've wanted to pick up another pair, but they seldom pop up for sale, or are priced higher than I'm willing to pay.
The MB-185s, through my current rig, are an incredible sounding amplifier. It soundstages and images a few levels up from my previous amps.
I'm at that honeymoon stage where I'm thinking selling all my excess gear wouldn't be a bad idea.

excellent ...
personally I would keep the old amp during the gear honeymoon though
best regards,
Quality OS 6SN7s, even those lightly used, are worth some $. JMO, sell to buy. ;> )

That's a thought, but I still have the headphone amps they were purchased for (Singlepower MPX3 and Supra) so I'll probably just hold onto them.
