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

Uhhhh, no idea what you're talking about. Did I tag you? If I did, it was an accident.

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

 

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.

I rolled JJ’s, EH’s, Mullards and I finally found some NOS Amperex with the gold pins from the mid 60’s and I have never been happier. Of the others, only the less expensive EH’s sounded bad. The more expensive ones were better, but kinda sterile sounding.  The JJ’s were okay, but we’re just missing something. And for the life of me, I can’t remember why I moved on from the Mullards.

All the best.
