Hello
I am hoping all you fine Male and Female tubeheads may give me some advice on any tube replacements for 7189's.Are any of the Russian ones I see listed actually plug in replacements or just a close relative you dont which to come over.
Thanks
Mike

The Russian 6p14p-ev/EL84M is a genuine 7189 equivalent and it's decent sounding. OTOH, 7189As are (AFAIK) scarce and costly NOS only.AA sponsor Jim McShane will fix you up with a nice tube set at a FAIR price.

So is 7189A a direct replacement for 6BQ5, EL84, 7189? I have an amp that takes 6BQ5, EL84, I have tried 7189 with good results. Just wondering if I can use 7189A.
The 7189A is rated for higher stress. So, ELECTRICALLY, it is just fine in a 6BQ5 "hole". The area where problems can arise is how the socket is wired up. There are differences in pin out between the 7189A and the others. The differences may or may not be problematic in any given unit.Use TDSL to get info. about tube basing and electrical characteristics.
