Our take on the RANMEI 2Pcs Vacuum Tube Headphone Preamplifier Module 6.3V 0.17A Hf 6J1P-Ev High Frequency Pentode Tube Vacuum Tube Headphone Preamp

A pair of 6J1P-EV high-frequency pentode tubes, the Soviet equivalent of EF95, 6F32 and 6AK5. They are commonly used in small headphone preamps and budget tube buffers, where the 6.3V 0.17A heater runs off low-voltage supplies. Owners of these tubes describe a warm, clean tone with a wide sound field and stronger bass than stock tubes. They are a cheap way to retune a compatible preamp, but they only fit gear designed for the 6J1 family.
