Questions about tubes and their subsitites
I doubt that you would hurt anything. But just to make sure you should ask Cary if it is okay to do that. I swap preamp tubes in my phono preamp to lower the gain and I never had a problem. It never hurts to ask the manufacturer!!    
Questions about tubes and their subsitites
The gain factor of a 5814 and a 12AU7 are the same! Also the 5963 and the 6189 can be used in place of a 12AU7!! The JAN-Philips 5814-A preamp tube type is equivalent to the common 12AU7 vacuum tube and European ECC82 tube. It can be used in any ...
