Anyone with experience with 6N2P?

Hey guys, just saw some of these floating around and wondered if anyone has used any?  The filaments can only go parallel (not in series) but I was wondering if that is any kind of a drawback.  Anyone?

Good tube. Just like 12ax7, with few differences.
On sound - 6n2p is better on clean - gives more "crystal" clean sound.
On distortion, it's not so good like 12ax7, but some filters tweaking will help.

On constructives - filament is only 6.3v at 350mA.
Pin 4 and pin 5 are filaments.
Pin 9 is shield between triodes.

Anode voltage is 250v. So, on anode resistor max value is 300v.
350v for 12ax7 is good, but will kill 6n2p fast.

You can run filaments of two tubes in series with 12v. But filament resistance is different, so one tube can be more lighter. But some guys use this way
