My friend lent mea pair of <<Sovteks>> = Military crap.
Yes every USA/EU 6922 is far far superior to any Sovtek which as you say comes with some units.
I have a quad of EH's arriving,,hoping they can meet EU standards.
My unit is sensitive,, or how would I know the Sovs sounded anti-musical,, those were built for battle eqip , not hifi.
Again, I stand by my thesis, that every EU/USA 6922, the sonics are so close,, its a mini-minscule dif in sonics.. Now its true I have made some changes in my system,, perhaps now the difs may be herad more clearly,,, But at this point, I have no cash for rolling tubes,, The point of this topic is don't spend big cash on 6922;'s, as these are not made with the same sensitivity as the AX/AU.. Now in these 2 pre tubes, sure each brand will have more nuances in sonics.. Not much, but enough to make me a solid fan of Tele and no others.
But as far as 6922, my top budget is 25 a tube, as the sonic difs ,, I am more than confident are so mini-scule,, makes no sense spending more than $25/each.
My posts are locked in google now, So if in decades to come, someone is researching 6922 shootout,,he'll read my posts and save his cash for other tweaks.
This is the purpose of my topic,, and not to convince you hard liners in this snakeoil of 6922 high priced tubes.
