Re: opinions wanted on CBS-Hytron 5692

Reliability varies with application, it seems. People with GTA amps seem to have trouble with them--as in: Sound great. Don't last. But, YMMV. Maybe they shouldn't be run very hot. Not sure. Can sound like a red base, but with more air.
If you want some, SND Tube Sales is having a "special" on some that, they say, were rebranded as Zalytron 6SN7GTB's. Price: $50/ea; $100/mp. Can't vouch for SND, myself, though. Never bought from them.
