BAT 300x 6922 vs Super tube

BAT 300x 6922 vs Super tube

I currently have the 300x with 6922 tubes. I like it very much, the sound stage is expanse and the sound has that �wetness� only tubes can provide. However I do miss the tight bass associated with Solid State. I was wondering if anyone has heard the 6922 and super tube version side by side. If so, is the bass tighter and faster with the Super Tube option? And does it sacrifice the wonderful midrange?

Thanks for your help

What is the bass like on the two units?

I'd say that the Supertube version had perhaps a bit more detail and air than the 6922 with either Sovteks or Telefunkens, but the midrange richness was noticeably absent, and this was what made me devoted to tubes in the first place. I didn't notice any difference in imaging or soundstaging between the two versions, but I'm not as concerned about that as I am the midrange, so I wouldn't notice changes unless they were dramatic. Incidentally, my speakers are particularly revealing about bass and midrange; because of the arrangement of their multiple tweeters, they have exceptional soundstaging anyway, irrespective of the electronics. The bass seemed to be more or less identical with both versions.

Try some Ei 6DJ8 Elite goldpins in your BAT.Works wonders in my Pathos Logos(Had to chance one fuse from 1A to 2.5A because of the higher heater current on the 6DJ8 tubes,so just check compatbillity) Otherwise great tube !!
