6922 recommendations for ARC PH7
Hi folks,
Looking to roll the tubes in my Audio Research PH7 phono pre. Looking for a recommendation for a 6299 that will extend the top end, midrange and give me a little more airiness without sacrificing the bottom end (Sorta what we are all looking for right lol)
the tubes I’m currently using are 4 Electro-Harmonix which sound good but they are a little laid back on the top. Very neutral sound which is a good thing, but want to try something new. My main room is not a very lively room as it is. However after testing the ARC in my living room system which is much more lively room I still am not getting the result I’m after. Dont get me wrong. Not complaining about the sound of the pre at all. I have been wanting to roll the tubes in this piece for some time now if not more than to just experiment with. Just got the itch to try something new.
Thanks

These are much more reasonable https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/preamp-tubes/products/electro-harmonix-6922-gold-pin?variant=29...They are the gold pin Electro-Harmonix. I have the "Kevin’s Stash" grade and they have a very clean top end and are also extremely quiet. Sorry, but I’ll have to disagree about these tubes. I recently bought a pair and the highs don’t hold up when pushed. My pair sounded artificial at the top-end, not realistic or natural. However, they were full bodied and very quiet. As always, YMMV. |
