In Reply to: 6CG7 instead of 12AU7? posted by ChasLieb on October 6, 2015 at 14:55:34:
Yes, other than the filament issues a 6CG7 can be used where a 12AU7 is used. The 6CG7 IMO is a better tube; its the same as a 6SN7 but in a miniature package (the 12AU7 being the same idea but 1/2 the plate area). Of course the 6SN7 is even better...

- in most usage where the dissipation is low 6CG7s should sound just like a 6SN7 - Timbo in Oz 15:53:06 10/16/15 (6)
