In Reply to: WHAT are GE 5965 used for??????? posted by Tom B. on November 25, 2007 at 20:37:32:
...... the 5965 isn't a drop-in sub for the 12AT7, primarily in that it draws a higher filament current than a 12AT7does, so if you want to try one, make sure your power supply can handle it. My favorite 12AT7 by far is the Sylvania 2/3mica blackblate 12AT7WA, RCA a close second.
If you want to sub 12AT7's with something more refined sonically, try the 6201 (sort of like subbing a 12AX7 with a 5751). My favorite 6201's (in order) are:
Sylvania Gold Brand 3mbp
Sylvania Gold Brand 2mbp
RCA 2/3mbp
I'm also anxious to hear the Siemens and Valvo which Bambi likes a lot.
