Recommend a 6922 input tube for CJ Premier 140


I have a Conrad Johnson Premier 140 amp due to arrive next week. Was looking for NOS 6922 / 7308 / 6DJ8 input tube recommendations from past and present owners of this amp. I have Amperex orange label 6DJ8's on hand, but looking for other options to compare.

The 6550's and 6N30's will be stock tubes for now, but I may eventually try the Tungsol 6550 current production power tubes.

Jtimothya,
Yes, the incoming Premier 140 will be taking my outgoing McIntosh MA2275 integrateds spot on it's own SRA platform.

Your descriptions of the sound qualities of the Telefunken and Amperex tubes match my previous experiences as well, so I'll may try one of each from Upscale Audio. Do you think it matters whether or not I get the Platinum variety with the matched triodes?

Samzx12 - Thanks for the Matsushita recommendation. That is one tube that has not been on my radar... but it's always nice to know about good "bang for the buck" options.
