   Don't.   
      
   90% of the time, for pure audio signal processing, it will be fine, with   
   perhaps a bit less gain and a bit more bass. If used as a drive, you _will_ be   
   unhappy.   
      
   10% of the time, it will be a disaster in any case.   
      
   There are MANY better substitutes in the 12XX7 family such that you need not   
   needlessly enrich an eBay seller making a dubious claim.
