In Reply to: RE: Sylvania Gold Pin 12au7WA = 5814? posted by JSTRM on November 06, 2016 at 17:22:12
Thanks.
Clarification: My amp guru said that the 5814 requires slightly more current draw than the 12au7; the amp is designed for the 12au7's draw and not the 5814's.
Any ideas about this particular tube?

If the extra .025 Ampere filament current will somehow damage or disrupt the function of your device you definitely need a new amp "guru."
Almost all manufacturers or techs on all levels, will step away from saying a replacement product is ok --- if it doesn't meet exact same OEM standards.If the unit fails for other reasons, it's hard for the manufacturer or tech to deny a warranty, if he said it's ok to use a replacement part. Even if the real problem is not related to that part.
"Well, you said it's ok to use it. After I replaced the part, the unit doesn't work. You fix it."

Exactly: the point is that the 5814 along with the 6201 are standard 12AU7 types and never should have been excluded from use in the product to begin with.
The 6201 is not a standard 12AU7 type. It is the "industrial" version of the 12AT7.
