6GH8A any good?

[Jonas]

I have a small collection of random tubes, one of which the 6GH8A. This is a 9 pin preamp with a pentode and triode section.

Would this make for a good preamp? A couple ideas would be pentode -> triode cathode follower, pentode -> triode plate, OR triode plate -> pentode...

What are your thoughts?

My notes say it's in several old Univox amps.  Good replacement for a 7199 (with different pinout!), and much cheaper/easier to find.

I am not aware of any and would be very interested in knowing which ones?

Good call!  Looks like my notes were mistaken.  Univox used the similar-but-different 6AN8.  My apologies!
