Any experience with Tube rolling 6922 for Conrad Johnson preamp?


I am running the stock 6922 in my Conrad Johnson ET7 series 1 preamp.  (If you are not familiar, the preamp uses a single 6922).  My dealer won’t discuss other tubes, encouraging me to only buy from CJ.

wondering if anyone can share their experiences rolling the 6922 in an ET7, other ET series, or even older CJ preamps.  Also wondering what brand of tubes CJ uses as stock - I have not yet removed the cover to see.

have created wonderful improvements with NOS tubes in other equipment, hoping to do the same here with the 6922.  Full disclosure-I have also laid some eggs, too.  Very expensive eggs.

The Telefunken's (6922/Ecc88) sound the best to me, followed by the Siemens 6922.  The Telefunken is from 1967; the Siemens from 1972 +/-.  They both offer far better dynamics than the OEM EH tubes. 

I can't figure it out--$10,000 or more for a preamp, and a $29.00 crappy sounding tube in the box.
