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

If i see a case of tubes wrapped in decades old plastic, I open it to find pristinne boxes with no creases, I open a box to find an unblemeshed tube, I will consider them NOS. If I yank it out of a radio, I would not.

If you sell something that is clearly used  or has a 50/50 chance of being used....you should absolutely not sell it labelled as new.

@tonydennison the problem is you could buy those tubes you consider new and they may not last or test as new.

@pindac

Or the opposite could be true.

So what?

I dont have a problem having used tubes. I just dont think you should sell something used and claim it is new. Its not rocket science and I cant understand anyone having an issue with this. If youre seeling something used, dont call it new. I have zero issue with buying used tubes.

Then I guess all old tubes should be sold as used, because there is no way to tell.

Unless,

""If i see a case of tubes wrapped in decades old plastic, I open it to find pristinne boxes with no creases, I open a box to find an unblemeshed tube, I will consider them NOS.""

Dont you have something better to do? Why can't I have a different opinion than you?
