The ratings on the RCA "red" tubes (5691, 5692, 5693) are artificially low. The ratings were reduced so the tube could be marketed as a long life (10,000 hour) tube. The tube is every bit as robust as a 6SN7, it's just rated very conservatively. So if tubes are dying in some apps, it's not likely the tube's fault.

- 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)
