Which NOS to use on Audio Research pre amp?


Hello,
Can anyone provide information on which NOS 6922 type tubes you have used or listen to with good result on Audio Research pre amps? I have a Reference one preamp, but any results on ARC tube preamp are welcome. Thanks.

Use 4 Siemens in my LS-15. With infini cap upgrade and try DIY power cables. Now I am comparing this one to BAT VK30, which is pricer using 6 Jan Philip tubes now. I prefer LS-15's middle frequency over BAT. BAT has better bass control than LS-15. Siemens improve the high and low end, IMO.
Now, plan to keep LS-15 and sell BAT (both are very nice preamp's). I did not have 6 Siemens to put in BAT for a more complete comparison. But I am pretty happy the way LS-15's sound now and will keep it as now for some time.
