ARC LS 25 MK II vs. BAT VK30SE

I SUGGEST THAT YOU CHECK OUT THE NEW SOVTEK 6922 PI. IT IS VASTLY SUPERIOR TO THE 6H23 TUBE. THIS 6H23 TUBE THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED REPEATABLY, HAS BEEN AROUND ALONG TIME. IT WAS ORIGINALLY IMPORTED BY SVETLANA. IT IS A GOOD TUBE,BUT
THE NEW 6922 PI IS MUCH BETTER. IT IS BLACK PLATED AND BORROWS ALLOT FROM THE 6H30 TUBE.

where can you find the 6922 Pi? Isn't Svetlana having trouble with importers lately?

Eg1, I did listen to the ls25 and it wasn't my taste. I did not get to listen to the vk30se, but I did listen to the bat 3i and I love it. I'm not really a big fan of the vk50se. I believe the vk30 is closer to the 3i. Good luck.

The 6922PI can be bought from New Sensor the importer of Sovtek. The 6922 PI is much better than most NOS and all 6H23's. I have been using the tube for about 3 months with no problems, just wonderful sound. This tube works in any 6922 or 6DJ8 application.

I have both the 50SE and 30SE. The 30SE is very close to the performance of the 50SE. I found out that the Absolute Sound review of the 30SE was done with a unit that had two microphonic tubes. No wonder they perceived what they did!
The 30 SE is a great product. I will put it up against anything out there for the money.
