I'm looking for a matched pair of valves to replace those in my Fatman iTube version 1 amp as one of the valves crackles and the cap is getting very black.
I believe the designation is 6N1

Re: Valves Wanted
The Russian ones are generally very well-regarded, and I've had good luck ordering such valves on eBay. I think 6N1 is "close" to the 6DJ8/ECC88/6922/E88CC/6n23p family, but I wouldn't know enough to advise about substitutions.

Re: Valves Wanted
there's a difference if I recall correctly in plate voltage between the 6n1 and the ec88cc
there's a google-able guide to the suitable replacements online....
ev and vi are "quality" designations as far as I can make out, along the lines of mil- spec
