Telefunken 6DJ8 for my DAC


Hi,
I'm thinking about trying the Telefunken 6DJ8 "hawk logo" for my Audio Note 2.1X bal DAC.
Can anyone comment on these? Any other recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks.

You can price them out on ebay. Average price is $30 to $50 a piece depends on when you bid and who you buy it from. Store price is $60 and up. Please be careful that you would only buy the West Germany type with Gold pin and not some relabeled Siemens made by Sylvania.
I've tried over 50+ different 6DJ8/7308/6922 tubes
for both phono and line stage in preamps.
If that's not enough for you then I don't know what else to tell you.
Yes, I do own Telefuken 6DJ8s. If you don't mind microphonic then you can try the Telefunken 6DJ8s. It has nice soft mid range in a preamp, but lack of authority in bass and not enough spark in the high frequencies.
