[R-390] 6HA5 vs 6AK5/5654

[Larry H]

Hi Russ,  It is important for the osc to produce a certain level of output and the less distorted the output is the better.  The 6ak5 was chosen to produce a very clean osc output.  That minimizes IMDs and noise in the mixer.  If you can't measure a specific improvement, I think you should put the 6ak5 back into service.
Regards, Larry

Well, I need some input here as to improved performance using a 6HA5.  I put one in the xtal osc section, it works,  but not sure if it is better.  thanks to all.
