6922 Tubes!


Hi everyone, There are many old threads about the 6922, I wanted to know what people are using currently that wont break the bank, ( ie...$150 per tube seems a lot). I need to buy 4 new ones for my phono preamp. Should I just order a set of tubes from the manufacturer (Manley Labs) it seems they like to use Electro Harmonics and they are very affordable, so what does a $100 tube do?? because the originals were pretty nice sounding. I just dont want to overspend on tubes for the unit/system im using them in.  Help.

When I bought my steelhead years ago, I installed some expensive siemens CCa and absolutely loved the resultant improvements.  After reading up on the Matsushita 7DJ8, I installed some just to try them out.  Amazingly, I have never reinstalled the siemens CCa.  They have been in the steelhead now for a couple years.   The Matsushitas are great tubes.
