With my amp (Audion Silver Night MKII), my description of 6922 types would be quite different than that described in Joe's Tube Lore. As Tvad writes, that is one man's comprehensive viewpoint. A valuable one indeed, but not categorically applicable.

Gellis1, you will have to experiment with different tubes in order to find what works best for you. Yes, that gets pretty expensive when it comes to NOS tubes. But there is no end-all/be-all tube, not in terms of something that will behave the same way in every component, let alone to two different sets of ears.

Unlike lucky Tvad, I have purchased a number of microphonic 6922's. Buy ONLY from a reputable seller with a warranty, or this venture can potentially become far more expensive than you had anticipated.

All the best,
Howard
