How do 6SN7WGT vs 6SN7GT differ?


I have Cary WE300B SE monoblocks and a Cary SLP98P preamp. I have been purchasing back-up tubes to stash away for the future. I am confused by the broad number of GSN7 tube types available, in particular the difference between N.O.S. 6SN7WGT and 6SN7GT(A/B)tubes. Are they simply interchangeable?

I use high dB horn speakers (103dB sensitive), so I am concerned about tube noise. I have teflon tube dampers on all tubes, and these, I believe, help with microphonics.

Thank you.

Thank you for the offer Emery. I purchased 4 more Jan-Philips 6SN7 WTGA from Angela Instruments yesterday before seeing your offer tonight.

I appreciate all of your help, and I have my eye out for the fabled 5692 tubes to try in my pre-amp. I may have to wait a month to afford those.
