What 6922 tube will improve bass definition?

The early to mid 1960's Amperex USA White label 6922 is the one to get for the money. Great, defined, strong bass, neutral mids and beautiful highs. The good, older Mullards from the late 50's through the 60's are smooth and sweet, but more lush than the Amperex I mentioned. The bass with the Mullards is full and rich, but not as fast. The Amperex 7308 US white labels (1960's) are also nice, but a tad drier sounding than the 6922 versions and more expensive. Telefunken 6922's are fantastic in the areas of imaging, detail and clarity, but do not have as much "body" to the mids and bass, and are BIG money.

Do the Gold Lion reissues have any hardness or stridency in the mids or treble? I currently have that problem with the Sovtek tubes, especially when the volume is turned up. I don't have a problem if the GL are slightly forward or lively. This will help with the laidback(polite) nature of my speakers and amp.

No one has characterized the GL as a hard sounding tube. It is invariably described as being on the warmer side of neutral, this is why I suggest that tube. I know very well what Sovteks sound like and they almost alone sent me into tube collecting hobby for the last 10 years. I think most of the Chinese stuff suffers many of the same problems. Now and again you want something a bit on the cleaner and stern side for a warm sounding piece of equipment. I had an Audio Aero Prima CD player once whch needed a 6922 type tube. It was kind of fluffy and muffled at times. I ejected the tube that was some piece of junk and found my favorite as above which I mis typed it is a CV-2493. Kevin Deal had them for a while as did tube monger but I am not sure if they still do. They are not warm so I wouldn't suggest that for you, but if you are really curious and have the money there is a dealer in Sweden who always seems to come up with them. He is on Ebay I forget his exact moniker but if you search you can find him.
BTW the other tone control at your disposal are your cables. My system was very bright and hard sounding at one point so I swapped out some key interconnects and speaker cables to come up with the sound I wanted. Again there is a price for that. I used Cardas Golden Refs (used) with super results. That is another bag of worms I will leave at that.
Good luck

I replaced Sovteks in a Aesthetix Calypso with late 60s Blackburn factory Mullard ECC88 (6922). Got a much bigger improvement than anticipated. In particular bass weight and definition. Less than $100 for a matched pair, highly recommended. They've tempted me to order the premium 70s Mullard CV2492 version.

Amperex 7308. Great tube....
