6922 Tubes!
Hi everyone, There are many old threads about the 6922, I wanted to know what people are using currently that wont break the bank, ( ie...$150 per tube seems a lot). I need to buy 4 new ones for my phono preamp. Should I just order a set of tubes from the manufacturer (Manley Labs) it seems they like to use Electro Harmonics and they are very affordable, so what does a $100 tube do?? because the originals were pretty nice sounding. I just dont want to overspend on tubes for the unit/system im using them in. Help.

Even though there claim to being an affordable process, I'm not sure what there definition means. I say this based on the cost of there cables, etc. I'm considering cryo treatment for some tubes I have, more for increasing the longevity then SQ since NOS tubes are getting more and more expensive and harder to find. Of course any benefit in SQ would be a plus. I need to do some further research regarding cryo of tubes. I remember reading somewhere that due to the difference in the temperature coefficient of materials the process ruined a set of IC's; the shield contracted greater then the conductor and or dielectric. JENA claims that there liquid process obtains temperatures much lower then the gaseous process. |
@bdp24 Hi Eric, Regarding Cryo treatment, I found the following link for Tyra Labs, which briefly explains there cryo process and the electrical benefits. I thought you may be interested, being they are located in Lake Oswego, Oregon; semi close to your local. http://www.jenalabs.com/cryogenics/cryo-jena.html http://jenalabs.com/ |
