6h23P-EB vs 6922 in the input stage of the Wolcott or other tube amplifiers


In one of the publications, 6h23P-EB tubes were suggested as replacements for the standard 6922 in the input stage of the Wolcott 220 monoblocks.  I've noticed discussion on preamps, but was wondering if anyone had experience with this input stage replacement in ether the Wolcott or other amplifiers?

I have a Modwright balanced output analog upgrade to my Oppo 205. I rolled rolled Telefunken 6DJ8’s into it and it was a big upgrade from the Electro Harmonix it came with. Very warm and inviting luscious sound. I then rolled NOS 75 6n23P Silver Shields in and they are superb. They produce a fast, detailed yet musical timber. The soundstage is wide and deep. Absolutely superb if you prefer fast and detailed yet musical vs a warmer somewhat slower more forgiving lush sound. If you like warmer I’d go with NOS Telefunken 7308’s or 6922’s.

Good luck!
