Best 6922 tubes for Conrad-Johnson CT6 preamp

I’ll second Pabul57’s suggestion about contacting RAM or Vintage Tube. Both Roger and Andy are excellent sources. I’ve purchased from both. I also use 2 of Roger’s Music Reference RM10’s in mono with my CT6. A very nice combo indeed. Pick up the phone and call Roger. He normally answers the phone himself. At least he has every time I’ve called and he’s very accommodating. Definitely call Andy (and keep trying if you don’t get him). He does not answer emails, but is also very accommodating and will take the time to talk with you about your requirements. BTW, the CT 6 is self biasing so matched tubes are not critical, but shouldn’t cost any more and certainly can’t hurt.

Looks like my other post didn't come through, which was that I run Ameperex white label PQ's in my CT6. They're pricy but worth the money IMO. I've tried both EH and Sovtek which are dull and lifeless in comparrison.

I also ended up with the white label PQs and in my CAT amp sound like a very significant improvement over the Sovteks they replaced, but you must have reason to trust your sources as a noisy great tube brand is much worse than a good measuring and quiet Sovtek. If noise is your primary concern, I would proabably get a super low noise graded tube from RAM; NOS is becoming more of a crapshoot as supply dwindles - but if Andy says he has some that measure well, I think you can count on it.

Thanks for NOT suggesting the tube I prefer, it only drives up the price. ))

I just ordered some rare cryoed Russian NOS from ATSI Tubeman
