@tonydennison just curious where are you buying your tubes from?
Driver Tubes 6922
I've heard a few people opining that the driver tube can be the most important tube.
Why is this?
What do you look for in a 6922?
What differences might I expect to hear replacing my modern GL e88cc with an expensive NOS 6922?
Any recommendations for a 6922 based on actual experience?
Thanks
TD

@tonydennison one more suggestion that may or may not work out. I have had excellent results using 12at7 and 5751 tubes in place of 12ax7’s. They are identical except the gain is lower than the AX’s. (You can go down on gain with these tube types but not up) I have used them on a DAC pre, phono stage and can’t tell a difference and they sound great. Not sure if your mono’s need the extra gain or not. 12AX7’s are becoming much pricier and harder to find now. |
@tksteingraber I ordered them from Brent Jessee |
Well, I received the tubes today. The difference is unbelievable. Why the Hell can't people make tubes like they used to? But, as always there is a problem....one of the RCA AT7's is crapped out. Snapping, Crackling and Hissing. And this is quite disappointing. I sent an email to Brent, hopefully he will get back to me soon.
Actually I will call him presently.
Will keep you updated.
