RE: RCA RED BASE 5692

WOW I did a search on the web about RCA Red Base tubes and found another forum were they did not talk very nice about this tubes, the sound they describe is completely different from what I'm hearing.

Quote: Also, and this is very important and backed up with much listening from me and friends who know what they are talking about, the tube is not that great and I do not even consider it a good 6SN7 type. There is just much hype that has gone with it. This is not true of the 6SL7 version in the red base as it is a good sounding tube (5691) but the 5692 is lackluster, overly ripe and poor bass. I wouldn't give 5 dollars for one unless it would be to resell it, which is why I own some in NOS. Some people just want the most expensive and the 5692 can't touch the good sylvanias, Tung-sols or even the Tung-sol B version.
