I bought a lot of these tubes from Russia and they sounded good in my el84 amps.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

"Can actually a 6P14P be considered an EL84?"

Compare operating conditions for the 6P14P and the EL84 for 250v plate and screen, as shown on both data sheets. Then look at the limiting values for both.

They look near-enough the same to me, how about you?

Thanks Dude & HotBluePlates

@ HotBluePlates

To me seems they are very similar but as I'm not a good datasheet reader I preferred to ask

Thanks Again
