Re: A "red base" is more robust than it needs to be. A CBS-Hytron 5692 only as robust as it needs to be. Again, YMMV.

". . . the fact is the 5692 is underrated, sandbagged if you will. It's spec'd to run at a fraction of it's "normal" capabilities."--Jim
I agree.
"There's no need to operate it even lower. RCA already did what Dennis is saying to do about the 6SN7GT/GTA/GTB!"--Jim
I agree, in general.
". . . 5692 don't last as long as their 6SN7 counterpart in some gear. . ."--Len
I agree.
". . . the 5692, however underrated their specs may be, is still a less robust tube then a 6SN7."--Len
I agree, in general.
"All 5692s are not created equal."
And that's my own brilliant observation.
