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

Russian  reflectors I have found work well in my canary  ca 160 amps. Also I really like them in my sonic frontier  dac3. Gold lion new production are the best of the new made tubes but I prefer  the nose tubes. I had a pair of valvo  6922 that I found wonderful they had tube beauty  and top to bottom  balance.  The gold pin amperex  are all right fi d them a bit rolled off in the highs. Something  I found the other day that I would like to try is some adapters and some new old stock western electric  tubes that were the same as 6922 but a different  pin out. They were  made for the usn.  Lol I have not come to the point where I want to let the moths  out of my wallet  to buy a matched quad. Regards

Very hard to find but best by far.

Wrapped in paper inside the box. Checked at the factory.

Will be hoarded by some. Brent will not have them.

 

I want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread for the wealth of information. There is so much to discover about the performance nuances of the different brands, and I will use this information in my search. Thanks in particular to rodman99999 and dekay.

I also thought that the idea about the adaptor for the Western Electric tube was fascinating. I never heard of that before.
