Best 6922 tubes for BAT VK300x ???


I have a BAT VK300x Integrated. One of the stock tubes has started crackling. I would like to replace both tubes with something new. I know they have to be a matched pair. What would be the best sounding tube in the $150/$200 a pair range? Your responses are greatly appreciated.

AH- Something else I forgot to mention about the CCa's: They are a 10,000hr tube(as are the E188CC's), which makes them a bargain with regards to longevity and musicality. You'll note the writers that say the CCa is "too thin" never mention the vintage of the tubes tested. My guess is they were the later(inferior) tubes. There's a bit more support for the excellent Siemens E188CC on this site: (https://www.tubeworld.com/7308.htm) As well as more to read about the other members of the family.
Rodman99999, Great information. I can clearly see the grey on the CCa. Actually, the current price on that auction isn't too bad at this point. Germany ... is the item location. I had an individual here tell me that he heard no difference in the grey verses the shiney CCa's. Of coarse he has them for sale. I'd like to get a pair of these since your experience speaks for it's self. I appreciate the information ........
Not a problem Mr Z. When I got my last ones, four came from W. Germany and two from Argentina. They've functioned perfectly for me. The seller of the pair I showed you posted complete specs, and good pics which are confidence builders in my book(of course- I'm not the one buying them). Let us know your reactions to the differences they make. Happy listening!
