Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes


Some years ago Kevin Deal had a good price on a stash of Telefunken gold pin 6922 tubes. At the time I needed a pair for my DAC, and they worked out very well. I'm still using them today. Now I find myself with a preamp that also uses a pair, and it seems the Telefunkens are not available at this time. 

I would appreciate suggestions of alternate brands that I might use for this purpose.

Thanks, John

which dac are you using @roxy54

i have oodles of 6dj8/6922 collected from the 80’s onwards

happy to help

if you want the clear crisp clean open spotlit telefunken sound, i would suggest old stock hungary made tungsrams as most cost effective replacements (to my ear, they sound pretty much identical to tele’s), old stock siemens a frames are very close... then there more costly adzams, mazda and dutch amperexes which have a little more midrange warmth but same open sweet treble (i have posted more info on this subject over on audiocircle, same handle)

The best 6922 I've heard are the Amperex D Getter from the late 50s early 60s.  I prefer them to the 7308.  I used them both in my MHDT Orchid Dac and the Decware SE84UFO.
