6DJ8 vs. 6922?


Alright tube aficionados, are 6DJ8 and 6922 tubes inter-changeable? I would ask Roger Modjeski or Tim de Paravicini, but they're both dead.

Anyone care to name their favorites of each tube, for use in phono and/or line stage pre-amps?

I like GE and Sylvania. All these tubes are interchangeable!

The 6DJ8 is a dual triode preamp tube. ECC88 is the European designation for this tube. 6922 and its European equivalent E88CC are premium versions of the 6DJ8. 7308 and E188CC and the CCa are super premium versions.

Mazda 6922's are also really nice sounding tubes top to bottom. Use them in my Modwright Elysee DAC

My favorite is the Valvo CCa and second is Amperex PQ 6922 used in my Pathos Classic MKIII.
