Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes

Tungsrams are nice.  NOS Teslas are also nice, but seem to have gotten expensive.  I think white label Amperex, either Herleen Holland or USA, are the best option.  I have at least 60 of them.  :~)

Hi DeKay,

The pre is a Canary Audio 630, and the DAC is an Audio Note Kits 2.1 Signature.

I like the Telefunken's, although they are getting harder to find, and pretty spendy for matched pairs.  I think the Siemens comes pretty close, based largely on the type of music you listen to.  Brent Jesse is an excellent tube guy.  Tube Depot just had the Siemens on sale for $149.  I have not dealt with them before, but that's a decent price for a high quality NOS 6922 these days.

I am glad I bought 2 extra Telefunken's 2 extra Siemens when I had the chance a couple of years ago.  They just keep getting more expensive.

@roxy54 How is the preamp sounding to you, and what more do you want out of it? If you're looking for a Telefunken-like sound with an added clean sparkle on top, the Amperex JAN 7308 with white lettering is pretty close. 

I have a AN UK DAC2.1x Sig. I’ve used 6922 Tele gold pins, 6922 Amperex Holland PQ, and 7308 Amperex/Philips SQ.

I doubt you’ll find any true NOS Telefunken. I agree with those who suggested Siemens for sonics similar to Tele’s although they don’t have that slam. You can go the used route and only buy from vendors who publish test results. I’ve had good luck with some Ebay vendors. The days of finding premium NOS tubes for a decent price are over.

Last month I bought a pair of 6922 Amperex D-getters from Brent for $325. That’s about $100 more than a year ago. And I wasn't able to find a pair of 7308's.
