Can 12AT7 be a substitute for 12AU7 tubes?


Is it safe to use a 12AT7 as a substitute for 12AU7?

You should stay with 12at7. They are designed to increase current in the amp compared to 12ax7 and 12au7 which are designed for volume amplification. Mu doesn't matter in a lot of cases when it comes to 12at7 since a lot of circuits where they are used do not amplify sound but provide more current to output tubes - thus the increase of current.
