RE: If you want a true tube phono preamp at $200, I know of only one.

The 6n2p-e is slightly different pin out than a 12ax7, just want to make sure the Chinese 6n2 is the same. With the Russian tube, pin 4 and 5 are for the 6.3v heaters, and no provision for a 12.6v heater, like a 12ax7. Pin 9 is a shield between the two triode sections, and should go to ground. The 12ax7 pin 4 and 5 are for 12.6v heaters, and pin 9 is a heater center tap. If the Chinese 6n2 heater pin out (I don't have any data sheets on it) is like the 6n2p-e, then the 6n2p-e is a direct drop in. If not a simple wiring change is in order (pin 4 and 5 to 6.3V winding, pin 9 to ground). You probably already know this, but just want to make sure. Send me your address via PM through the asylum, and I'll send you 3. Here's a link to the 6n2p-e data sheet.
