"It seems Rca made many of their tubes"Actually, no, they didn't, Hytron and Raytheon had a mutual relationship.
And RCA didn't make ANY 5692 - the red base 5692 was made by General Electric under contract to RCA.
"I believe they are the same tube as many RCA and tungsols but quality control wasnt as good as it was at RCA "
Well, if they are the same as RCA and RCA made them, why would the QC be different? You mean RCA had different QC on the line for Hytrons than for their own? That makes zero sense. RCA made tubes en masse with no branding anfd branded them after to fill orders on hand. They would have had no ability to alter their QC.
By the way, although neither the RCA (GE) or Hytron 5692 are particularly good sounding 6SN7's, the Hytron is better, it has stronger bass and slightly less rolled off highs.
