6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville?


Much has been written about the Amperex 5922/6D8J/E88CC. What's the concensus about the top choice for the meatiest, richest midrange?

@rodman99999 , I checked my records and the USN Amperex only have large O getters. I had a pair of USN 6922s and returned them since they didn’t have an extended low-end. They weren’t too warm; maybe it’s the higher voltage of the 7308 that adds the warmth and richness to the tube.

Here’s my take on Amperex US vs. Holland 6922 PQ...
US is more focused and extended.
Heerlen, Holland has smoother highs and sweeter mids.


I can say for sure that the Holland 7308 Amperex PQ and Philips SQ have a fuller sound from top to bottom with deep liquid mids.

Edit...very lively tubes.

I should try to remember, when describing the sound/presentation of a component, to add, ".....in my system and listening room, to my ears."
I should think that, by now, it goes wuithout saying "in my system...," yet, why bother talking at all if useful genralizations cannot be made about tubes. 
There’s nothing wrong about talking about the sound of tubes, it’s something we enjoy doing, just as long as everyone knows that their results may vary. There are some posters on Audiogon who insist that there is no difference in sound between tubes or that new production tubes always sound better than vintage tubes, for example.

Many more people read threads than actively participate in the discussion. Many of them are people who do not have experience in the topic being discussed. So it’s always good to add the qualifier, IMHO.
