Can I use a 6we7 or a 6de7 in place of a 6n1p vacum tube?

I just got my pre-amp/headphone amp back and they did not send my tubes back to me.  I only have 6we7 and 6de7s.  I emailed and called the manufacturer, but they can sometimes be hard to get ahold of.
 
Thanks
 
Edit:  The socket is the same, but I don't want to burn up my amp or the tubes.

I'm not very good at electronics.  The main thing I noticed, is the 6we7 needs 900 to the heater and the 6n1p needs 600.  Can 50% more current to be bad?  Will I be able to tell before I do some major damage?  I doubt I will get the amp past 1/3 volume ever.
 
It's the Decware CSP-2 amp.
 
EDIT:
In case someone wants a look, here are the specs.
