## Description

Product Description As an American seller, we stand behind our products. All vintage vacuum tubes sold by Riverstone Audio are backed by our 3 year warranty. Important: Damage can occur if the wrong type of tubes is used. 5654W tubes are a direct replacement for 6J1, 6J1P / 6J1P-EB / 6Zh1P-EV, 6AK5, 6AK5W, EF95 and 403B tubes. For other replacements, check with your amplifier manufacturer. Both plate current and Gm are matched to less than 3%. The 5654W tubes were originally designed as a low noise upgrade for the 6AK5 and EF95 vacuum tubes. The designation "W" refers to heavy duty military grade tubes with better quality control and increased reliability. These vintage tubes have found new life replacing 6J1, 6J1P (6ZH1P-EV), 6AK5 and EF95 7-pin tubes and are commonly used by audiophiles for better sound quality. Upon receipt, we guarantee that the tubes will be tested at NOS levels of 4500 micro-mho or higher and a plate current (ip) of 6.6mA or higher (tested in fixed bias mode at 120V plate and screen voltage and -2.0V gate voltage). All the vacuum tubes we sell are carefully packed for shipping and have the name, logo and QC "Riverstone Audio " labels on the boxes. Legal Disclaimer 5654W tubes should ONLY be used to replace 7-Pin 6J1, 6J1P / 6J1P-EB / 6Zh1P-EV, 6AK5, 6AK5W, EF95 and 403B tubes. If in doubt, check with your amplifier manufacturer (or contact us) to verify that 5654W tubes can be used as a replacement in your particular audio device. AMPLIFIER DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IF YOU USE THE WRONG TYPE OF TUBE AS A REPLACEMENT.

Review: 5 star valves, 1 star for the price rip off! - £76.81! I bought these a year ago and they were 23.99! from the same listing! Even then they are cheaper elsewhere. Google search GE5654W. The most you want to pay for a mayched pair is £10. Rip off! As for the tubes, can't fault um. Nice subtle warm tones. Nice. Siemens 6AK5W are also a good option too, especially if you want a warmer tone again. Still subtle though.
Review: All good - For a friend, all worked ok

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought these tubes as a replacement for the tubes supplied with the little dot 1 amp. are they suitable? do i need to change any jumper settings?**
A: No just change the VALVES. Bit better than
originals.

**Q: Would these tubes be suitable for the nobsound hifi 6j2 vacuum tube preamplifier?**
A: I got mine for an FX Audio preamp a very similar unit I think.  They were a great replacement for the Chinese originals. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent improvement
*by M***2 on 23 May 2020*

I bought these to "upgrade" a Nobsound Little Bear T7 (another thing to consider buying!) and I would say that there is a definite difference. The sound is "brighter" than the standard valves. Worth the price I would say.
