Ei6DJ8 elite gold


Any audio fanatics out there have tried this particular tube on their preamps? If so, how would you rate the sonic performance when compared to other similar tube families (7308s,6922,6h23 etc..)I have a SF Line 2SE.

i've compared them to amperex 7308 & sovtec 6922s in an arc ls5 & an arc vt 130. i think the 7308s have more air but the midrange & bass are comparable in my gear. i'm now running 7308 in the ls5 because i've got a particularly well matched set but the vt 130 has the ei's & seems quite happy for much less money.

Since this particular model of Ei6DJ8s are fairly new in the market I do not expect too many feedback on this posting.

Nevetheless from my recent experience they have the best music for the buck IMHO. I use a pair on V1/LV1 with NOS SOVTEK 6922s on V2 & V3 locations.

I heard that the Seimens 7308 are better but cost a lot more.
I recommended that combo to someone in the last few weeks. Glad it worked for you too. FWIW I had less success with them in the line stage of my ARC SP10, but thats almost to be expected (they got noisy quickly). They have a nice full bass and are quite musical. I'm using them 50/50 in my SFM 160's with some Tesla's (NOS).
