In Reply to: JJ ECC99 - ?Replacement for 5687 in Preamp posted by krrodman on September 22, 2004 at 15:20:51:
I love both tube types. The other guys are correct about why you got no function from the ECC99s plugged into 5687 sockets, but if you have the gumption to change the socket wiring in order to re-do the comparison, please let us know the results. (Of course, you will later have to change it again, if you decide you prefer the 5687.) I have always wondered how the ECC99 would stack up as a linestage tube vs 5687, 6SN7, other medium-mu, high Gm triodes. I've used them as CCSs and driver tubes with success and pleasant results. Both the 7044 and the 7119 are available rather cheaply as direct plug in replacements for the 5687, but be aware that those tubes may do better with even more current than that which is required by the 5687.
