Anybody use a 5687 tube inplace of a 6sn7?


I see they make a 5687 to 6sn7 adapters and was wondering if anybody had any success with that combination. My amps and preamps take 6sn7 and it peaked my interest with the idea of trying some different tubes.

5687 is a 9 pin I stand to be corrected I was referring to a 5692.
and 10,000 hours for Any tube is not common or likely .

a 6sn7 has a different Sonic characteristic ,for sure worth checking out 

especially matched NOS tubes.

Yes I have in facti had bought a pair within 300. Hours one tube blew and itwas a sylvania but construction looks like a RCA 4 post military tube 

don’t believe theBS they or others are 10,000 hour tubes absolutely not the norm 

at most $200 a pair I have been into tube gear since the 1970s .

I had most everything out there when they were very available and low cost.
