Tube identification question

Is a -6J1p EV- tube the same as a 6j1 tube ? Can it be used if a unit has the 6j1 ? TIA

I believe the 6j1p EV is the Russian military equivalent to the 6j1.

Thank you. I wasnt sure. Just looking for a variety of tubes to roll

6ak5, 5654w are two you could also roll in. But in my experience these here are the best sounding with the grooves.

or, more Cyrillic-ly ;- ) 6Ж1П-EВ

... and some quoted-quotes-of a quote (i.e., pretty typical Internet lore; as-is and FWIW):

“there are plenty of alternatives to the 6J1 out there, and very cheap. There’s the Russian mil-spec version of the 6J1 – the 6J1P-EV. Then there is the bewildering array of western equivalents: the 6AK5 and its military brother the 6AK5W; the 5654 and its military spec version, the 5654W; another is the EF95; the 403A; the 6F32; the CV (common valve) 4010; the brilliant M8100; the list goes on and on. I’ve heard from those in the know that the AEG F95 is a very good tube – very well made and sweet sounding.

If I were to suggest alternatives, try the military specs versions – 6AK5W, the 5654Ws, or the CV4010, although the latter, like the M8100, is hard to get.”

I ordered the GE JAN 5654W, which is a milspec tube (without the W is the regular one), and it sounds great, the other tubes too aren’t nearly as hard to find as the 6J1 either.”

Take a look at this info. It sounds like the 6j1p EV is the Russian military spec equivalent.
