I don't if I would call using the 5751s in the Fosgate Sig tube headphone
amp as "getting away" with using them,as the 12AX7s tended to still add
a tube coloration (through my no Ring Radiator,direct wired,Sennheiser HD800 headphones)that the 5751s do not!
While this amp was "supplied" with 12AX7s there really isn't much comparison to how it now sounds with this singular headphone (which also
has no comparison to Sennheiser's "version" of a transparent sounding headphone; which is compromised by having that Ring Radiator in it)
Having tubes that will measure up to how the 12AX7s perform in this instance was actually a bit humorous as far as I'm concerned. Their gain
structure just doesn't appear to work in passing what my Metrum Hex DAC
is sending to them without adding some completely unneeded frequency contouring to things(in this circuit,of course)
