No, he did not. The 7058 does not have a center tap, which means it cannot work in a 6.3V setup. (I) should have made that clear in the original post.:-)BTW, I agree with you on the fact that it is also one of my favorite 12AX7 types.

Yeah, the only problem with 7058s is that they seem to have been "discovered." I used to get sleeves of 5 or batches of 15 on Ebay -- NOS at that -- for under two bucks a tube. Now they go for ridiculous prices. Good thing they're rugged and long-lasting. I gather they were originally produced to serve in car and truck radios, way before the solid state era.
They were indeed designed for mobile applications. The 6681 is another tube that has been discovered. If you look hard, you can still get them for less than 12AX7's
