The data sheet for the 6463 is here.

The type was intended for computer service, not audio. Philip's data sheet warns about hum, noise, and microphony. So, DC on the heater, silicone rubber "O" ring dampers on the bottle, and definitely not in a phono preamp. The 6463 might make a good buffered volume control that uses a "short" B+ rail.
