Re: 5881 vs. 6L6
Q: What is the essential difference in tube life?  
A: It dipends on the bias.  
 
Q: Are the always interchangable?  
A: Yes. Allways set the bias when you change tubes  
 
Q: What is the tone/gane difference?  
A: I change from 6L6GC GROOVE TUBES to DRSR-5881/6L6WGC SOVTEK both tubes where bias at 34mA at 385 Volt. The amp got an erlier breakup less headroom, much better in my taste.
