Amperex "Bugle Boy" tube compatibility


I need to replace a vacuum tube in a pre-amp section of the integrated amplifier as the previous tube Beijing 6N11 went bad. The Amperex "Bugle Boy" ECC83/12AX7 tube has the same pin layout as Beijing 6N11 tube. According to description on Amazon the Beijing 6N11 may be used instead of ECC88, E88CC, 6922, 6DJ8, 6922 and 7308. Would it be okay to use Amperex "Bugle Boy" as a substitute to Beijing 6N11 tube?

Actually you can run a 12AX7 with a 6V filament supply. In this case it would only require some re-wiring of the tube socket. But that’s the least of the reasons why not to do it.
This post is irresponsible. If someone reads the first sentence, and omits to read the second, they could potantially damage their amplifier.

Given that you yourself often fail to read posts properly I do not understand why you would not be more mindful of the ramifications or consequences of your posts.
