@lewm I didn’t sub them. The PH9.0X uses one pair of 6C45 and a pair of 6922. The 6H23p is a Russian equivalent to the 6922. :)

I have the 9.0x. I’ve tried every current production and NOS tube under the sun, except Telefunken. Here are my favorites in order of preference ( some with Herbies Rx tube rings and some not. You must experiment for your rig. System audio is professionally calibrated. All tubes listed excel in tonality! Valvo 6922 1960-64 ( same as Philips miniwatt Holland) and PCC88 (7DJ8) A frame or non A frame . ( These tubes fire on all cylinders across every genre of music I throw at them. Superb. You can save money by getting the PCC88 versions. They are safe to use per Modwright and will likely last a long time due to their 7v heaters only receiving 6.3v from the 9.0x. Very very close sound to the E88 cc versions.
(very musical. If Valvos are a 5th row seat, these are a 10th row seat. I like both approaches) Siemens E88cc (a nice all arounder tube) Bel India 6922 1960s (made with Philips tooling. Very musical, engaging and balanced) Amperex 7308 JAN USA 1960s ( deepest tightest bass, but others listed above are also excellent for bass) Amperex 7308 Holland ( small-ish soundstage compared to those above) Mullard E88cc ( too warm. No sparkle, but a good choice for a bright system)

I also are running the Siemens E88 w/sovtek 6C45s. Just ordered a set of Mullard M8080/4058 (premium 6C4). They should be here in a few days. From what I’ve read, they should be a MAJOR upgrade to the Russian tubes. I should know by the weekend after putting a few hours on them. Now for as changing the fuse (IDK), I'll hold off on that for now. |
Thanks for the suggestions. As I started my research, Siemens, Amprex The rest of my analog system is Luxman 505 uxii, Technics SL1200G, @danmar123 Where are you getting your tubes? I have purchased
