Ei6DJ8 elite gold


Any audio fanatics out there have tried this particular tube on their preamps? If so, how would you rate the sonic performance when compared to other similar tube families (7308s,6922,6h23 etc..)I have a SF Line 2SE.

Since this particular model of Ei6DJ8s are fairly new in the market I do not expect too many feedback on this posting.

Nevetheless from my recent experience they have the best music for the buck IMHO. I use a pair on V1/LV1 with NOS SOVTEK 6922s on V2 & V3 locations.

I heard that the Seimens 7308 are better but cost a lot more.
Newbee,

It's kind of coincidental you mentoned noisy. I just got a new pair last month and they started giving "tube rush noise" last night on my Line 2SE. But before then they sounded just fantastic, Solid Bass, detailed almost liquid sound. But they seem not to last long enough compared to other contenders. I'm glad that I'm not the only one to experience this. Thanks for the feedback. For sound I would probably rate them around 4.5(scale of 1-5) but for longevity a 2. I should probably switch with Siemens 7308 (V1/Lv1).
