Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes


Some years ago Kevin Deal had a good price on a stash of Telefunken gold pin 6922 tubes. At the time I needed a pair for my DAC, and they worked out very well. I'm still using them today. Now I find myself with a preamp that also uses a pair, and it seems the Telefunkens are not available at this time. 

I would appreciate suggestions of alternate brands that I might use for this purpose.

Thanks, John

Has the New Pre Amp' been supplied with a stock 6922?

Have you tried your still used Telefunken tubes in the New Pre Amp' ?

My experience with swapping out ECC88 and 6922, is that a Valve Brand and Period of Production can vary quite noticeably in their sonic when used on a particular device and the demonstrations I have been present at, has shown the findings of Tube Rolling will vary across devices. Hence I use Two Different Brands from early 60's production on a DAC and Phonostage.  

Either of Interest or not, I recently learned a adaptor socket can be used to allow for a 6SN7 to be used as an alternative Tube.

When my system is once more fully assembled, I intend on trying this out as I have access to many versions of these tubes.
