The output tubes in mine are the stock EH 6CA7s fat bottles, if you didn't get them go out of your way to find a set of 8 . These are true beam tetrodes and I love emn. Never thought I would like an Electroharmonix.
The input and driver tubes stock are ptetty darned good but I rolled them to Mullard Mil Spec CV2943s and Tung Sol "Nos" 5687s. So far every time I hear them I sit there in awe. These are the world beater amps I was looking for. Do you like yours?
It's a sad thing indeed that the best of the 6922s are so costly. I had some Siemens/ Halskes from a pror project. They were NOS 3 tears ago maybe 4 years back for 40 a tube from a dealer NIB NOS Mint.one pair.
Little did I susopect I would require a quatet. The real German tubes. They are faster cleaner and more detailed than th 2943snwhich sopank the in terms of tome and are fast.
Tem market seems to have gone from lucky to find a good pull . To being able to buyfind a 7DJ8 to any type 6922 or even 7308 you want.
Makes me wonder? how well supply and demand works. The demand got dso high all manner of these tubes came out of the hoarding boxes.
Just look at the tubes for sale today the tube that 6922 is being sold (I assume) by several vendors. That always ets off the counterfiet potententialo. They are German 6922 types. When ever the demand gets high ebough for decent people to list S.c.A.s for a thousand a pair. Suddenly their is a loss of sentmental attachment.
