The 5692 is not an exact 6SN7 equivalent, contrary to common belief. It's a less robust tube from an electrical standpoint, rated only for 275 max volts and 1.75 watts per section. Compare that the 6SN7GT rated for 300 max volts and 3 watts per section, or 6SN7GTA/GTB at 450 max volts and 5 max watts per section, and you now understand why 5692 die prematurely in some applications. Golden Tube is well known to drive all their tubes very hard.

- A "red base" is more robust than it needs to be. A CBS-Hytron 5692 only as robust as it needs to be. Again, YMMV. - Nietzschelover 08:05:28 03/09/06 (3)
