tube upgrade for first sound

I'm having the exact same problerm with a new pair of EH6922's. Sometimes
tubes go bad well before their time, I guess. Maddening.

I'm almost certain it can't be the OA2, which is not in the signal path and thus
can't create the kind of distortion you (we) are hearing.

Thanks Drubin

I guess I'll switch the stock tubes, with other tubes I've been collecting, to see if the distortion stops.

Good point, about the OA2 not being in the signal path. Please post again with what happens in your FS.

Thanks
Paul

well, well, well, here's a gem for the taking....

Sound problem solved! The stock 6H23n's went bad. Its amazing how quickly a tube can go. I now have some Amperex 7308 PQ's in there. nice.......:-)

Stock is 6H23n? And it went bad in the first month?

Has anyone else tried the Electro Harmonix Gold 6922?
