Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant

Give Brent Jessee a call and talk it over with him. He’ll find the right tubes for you. He has much more experience finding the right tubes than the average Audiogoner..

All the great tube sellers are on vacation this week, believe it or not. A perfect storm! So I probably need an alternative source.

Hmmm... I might be OK.  Looking through my collection I'm finding those listed below.  It's just that I want to get the most of the system during this test to make the decision about cabling, so I don't want to mess around....

FROM VINTAGE TUBE SERVICES:

Amperex (Holland) 6DJ8

Matsushita 6DJ8 (1965, made in Japan with Mullard tooling)

OTHERS:

Electroharmonix 6922 (recommended by VAC)

Tungsram 6922 (from Upscale Audio)

Amperex Orange Globe 6Dj8

HP Amperex Bugle Boy (Holland)

And some other inexpensive tubes....

STILL LOOKING FOR WHAT WILL DO THE BEST JOB PER MY ORIGINAL QUERY!  Thanks!

The Ediswan CV5358 might be what you're looking for.  I used a pair for a while, and they were certainly smoother than the Seimens 7dj8's which replaced them.  Check Joes Tube Lore for more details.  

I am using one Amperex bugle boy 6922 and quartet Telefuken ECC83 in my Margules sf 220 pre amp.

I also tried Philips 6922 which sounds slightly sharper than Amperex bugle boy.

Both are nice tubes.

Sometimes you may swap the tubes depending on your mood and music.
