I’m aware the previous posts are from 2004.
I’ve also tried quite a few of the Amperex/Philips 6DJ8, 6922 and 7308 tubes. Says photon46 above, "The A-frames all sound harsh by comparison to me, tonal balance tilted to much towards the highs. Of, course if that’s to your tastes, ymmv. "
In my experience, orange (NOT orange globe) Amperex 6DJ8 A-frames with dimpled solid disc getters in my CJ Classic 60 amp exhibit no harshness. There is a full, very nicely balanced, musical sound. I won’t bother to go into details about what else is in my system.
I’ve also read Joe’s Tubelore descriptions, often getting very different impressions from the same designated tubes in my system compared with what he experienced while listening to his own system(s).
Per what has been said countless times before, to find out what suits your enjoyment, listen to all the tubes you’re willing and able to in your own system.
