Has anyone heard the 6N1P preamp tube?

Hi,

I have a Counterpoint SA-1000 preamp-which I like. Currently, I am using a Sovtek 6922 on it. I think the tube sounds a bit harsh. Tried JAN Phillips tubes (twice), but the Phillips tubes proved to not be compatatable with the pre-amp- it introduces a scratchy noise into the output along with what every I am playing. I noticed in the Musical Direct catalog that Svetlana makes a 6N1P tube that is compatable with 6922/6DJ8 and was wondering if anyone has listened to this tube. I am on a budget so I cannot afford NOS tubes.

Thanks

Rich

Mike Elloit from Counterpoint noted the 6N1P is not compatable with the SA 1000. So I got the Electro Harmonix 6922. Boy, it does sound better than the Solvek. The bass is now much more there. The mids have lost that card-board felling and the highs are richer.

Thanks you all for the tips.
