Is the 5963 safe to use in a CAT JL2 amp?

I recently purchased a used CAT JL2 amp (best I have heard) and have been doing a lot of tube rolling based on recommendations from this site. I am curious if any CAT JL2 ownwers have tried the 5963 in the 12AU7 position and what results have you had (hpoefully no damage to the amp). I have used many different 12AU7's, 5814's and 6189's and prefer the Amperex 7316 D getter so far. Ken Stevens discourages using subs for the 12AU7 and says that the 6189 adds distortion.
Any thoughts or commenta are appreciated. Especially from CAT owners.
