In Reply to: 5687/7044/7119...What's your favorite? posted by Freo-1 on June 30, 2008 at 14:54:50:
I used one section of a single 5687 per channel in a simple linestage. Goldpoint volume control, Elma switch, wirewound plate/cathode resistors and MIT RTX coupling caps. It was a good sounding preamp but on a whim I decided to try the cheap Russian 6N6P since they are supposed to be quite similar.
Note - pin connections are different - 6N6P pins out like a 6922. I had to rewire my sockets to try these tubes tube.
In the end I really preferred the 6N6P (at least in my system). Less dark, it has more transparency and a 'faster' sound. To my ears it seems more neutral. For $5 a tube, its a heck of a steal.
