In Reply to: RE: RCA RED BASE 5692 posted by PMC0607 on June 11, 2015 at 23:08:16
Vacuum tube valley magazine devoted a whole article on the RCA red base tubes. They also rated the 5692 in their 6SN7 tube shoot out. It rated near the top. I believe it was 93 and the absolute best according to them was 96. The back issues are online and if you are a user of the type is very worthwhile reading.
I went through almost every 6sn7 type and settled on the 5692 in my Cary electronics AE1 preamp. It uses 1 tube per channel. Cheers, Dak

Thank You DAK, I guess you made mine search a hole lot easier, I will look up that article and read it. MENDEL if I said that the 5692 were the best I was referring to my preamp. I'm just curious like every body else to see if I can find another Gem, Why? because all the tubes I have @ my disposal that I can listen to with out having to buy them.I bet anybody here will do the same if they had the same resources I have.
DAK do you know what issue the article was publish in? I found this web page with 20 issues of the mag.
