Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Depends on the circuit

I'll go against the consensus here (which I don't disagree with in a general sense) and say that it's possible a 6SN7 could work well in a circuit originally using a 5670. It all depends on the circuit configuration and component values. The thing is, there's more than one operating point that's likely to be satisfactory for a given tube type. If that wasn't true, manufacturers wouldn't provide multiple operating points in their data sheets, and every designer who wanted to use a specific tube would be hamstrung with a very specific set of parameters. The bottom line is that no one can answer your question intelligently without knowing the circuit it's used in.
