6922 recommendations for ARC PH7

Hi folks,

Looking to roll the tubes in my Audio Research PH7 phono pre. Looking for a recommendation for a 6299 that will extend the top end, midrange and give me a little more airiness without sacrificing the bottom end (Sorta what we are all looking for right lol) 

the  tubes I’m currently using are 4 Electro-Harmonix which sound good but they are a little laid back on the top. Very neutral sound which is a good thing, but want to try something new. My main room is not a very lively room as it is. However after testing the ARC in my living room system which is much more lively room I still am not getting the result I’m after. Dont get me wrong. Not complaining about the sound of the pre at all. I have been wanting to roll the tubes in this piece for some time now if not more than to just experiment with. Just got the itch to try something new. 
Thanks 

-Keith

 Very interesting article. In my description I used the phrase “laid back” I like the phrase “ to relaxed” better. So Insert that in my opening statement.

I've used the 6922 Phillips SQ and the premium 7308's. They have outstanding sonics; a liquid midrange, smooth extension at top, with a huge soundstage. The 7308's have deeper bass.
 I've rolled so many 6922 variants that I feel the Philips are really special. It's the same tube as the Amperex SQ. 
Also Telefunken, but they're pricey.

6n23p Voskhods Rocket logo, 1974-1979 period, earlier the better, you will not look back for other NOS, and are more economic than western alternatives. Fit and forget, simply they are not sounding like hifi and have a better musical flow, and are quiet.
Prices have gone up but they worth it, only thing to find a is a good vendor.
