ARC LS22 and pre tubes


I am looking for 8 "good tubes" to replace the eight Sovtek 6922 with a low budget. Please give me an advice.

Thanks

Are you sure all 8 are bad? Usually you only use 1 main pair and 1 or 2 inputs? Save you a few tubes that way.
You need the manual or schematics usually. AR will help if you call them. You need a pair of tubes for the gain stage (Most likely the pair closest to the outputs) and a pair for each input. The sockets should be labeled in some way such as v1, v2, v3 and so on.
If you only use cd, you only need 4 tubes.
