I genuinely appreciate your input. As I no nothing about the technical aspect of audio, I got nervous about using the Bendix 6106 after reading Tube Worlds that " the Bendix 6106 CANNOT sub for a 5Y3GT in many power supplies due to it's VERY slow filament/cathode warm-up time of 30-45 seconds. So contact your equipment manufacturer before subbing a 6106 for a 5Y3GT."

I also received a reply from the manufacturer of my audio component today and he agreed with what you all said. His comments while short and to-the-point were: "Slow warm up is fine. It is not a problem." It seems great minds do think alike! Thanks again to you all. You took a BIG load off of my mind, that the manufacturer completed by placing his cherry on top of your replies!

I'm listening to: Feel The Rhythm by Daria
