Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes?

I just bought four 6922 ElectroHarmonix tubes for my CJ LS17 preamp and they sound pretty good. Not as good as some NOS tubes that I have used but certainly better than Sovteks. There are not as hard or cold sounding as Sovteks. Anyone else out there ever try these? I think that I could live with these if I could no longer get my hands on NOS tubes or could no longer afford them.

I have been using the EH 6922 gold pin version in my CJ 16ls and like them very much. I agree with you that they are better than the Sovteks. I have tried JAN Philips NOS and the EH are much better. I have not tried any of the high end rare NOS like Siemens, Telefunkin or Amperex.

I have the 12ax7eh's in my CDP. I really like them. I also have Stock Chinese, NOS RCA 5751 blackplates, EI 12ax7ln, and NOS GE JAN 5751s, currently I prefer the EHs.

Hey Chuck...I just retubed the Premier 11 over the Thanksgiving weekend..SED 6550C, EH 6FQ7 and GE-JAN 5751..Wow what a difference. I can't wait to plug in the gold pin EH 6922 pre-amp tubes that 'Santa' got me into my C-J 17LS!

Quincy, I still miss that tube amp. I never should have sold it.........or maybe I need to buy a Premier 140 or better yet a mono-bloc pair.
