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

Excellent trusted resource to buy tubes.  Cost a little more but you get what you pay for!

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.

Yes @facten ,

 

I just heard that on his answering machine, :-)

 

I don't suppose the crackling is something that will just fix itself???

Like maybe burn off some space dust inside.

Such a shame. They sounded so good.
