Normally it depends on each particular model, year of production and even a factory where those German tubes made. I enjoyed Telefunken, but never tried Siemens, i’ve heard that both are top quality in general. It is more important what is better for YOU

I’m about to purchase some NOS Siemens 6922 tubes (a trio) for a Conrad Johnson Classic 120. I have been using NOS Amperex 6922 tubes, which are fantastic. But I want to have several NOS back up sets of tubes, so I am going to give the Siemens a go. 
 

I’ll report back on how they compare to the Amperex 6922, but this won’t be until sometime in January.
