6N2P valves to 12AX7 socket. How?

[JaviCAP]

Hello,

Dealing with tubes I'm really a f*ckin noob. Received today 5 6N2P russian valves + an adapter to use these tubes in a 12AX7 socket, as they're very similar, but differ in the heater voltages, so is not a direct drop in replacement.

I've been searching on the net, in order to find how can I build socket adaptors, as they're 5 times more expensive than the tubes.

This is the equivalence for what I've been able to see:



Is just as easy as connect the heaters of the 6N2P together (4 and 5) and set the shield (9) to ground? Or I'm missing something?

mmmm, taking a closer look..... maybe connecting pin 4 or 5 to pin 9, would be enough.

Let's see if anyone more experienced let us know.
