I just wash my hands first. DO make sure that if you get fingerprints on the tubes to wipe them off thoroughly. Washing tubes can be a problem since the paint usually washes off too...
I think you can use cv4004 also???
6922's are great tubes and easy to roll. Personally, I like Telefunken for any kind of tube, followed by Mullard and Amperex Bugle Boy/trumpeter(much better than the basic amperex). Golden Dragons are good, JAN can be good too.
Keep in mind that these will last 5000 to 10000 hours for good ones. So, to spend $100 for good ones vs $20 for Sovteks is worth the difference! You should be able to find nice pairs for $60 to $90/pr. Mint NOS Telefunkens will run more. The old tubes were made much better than some of today's junk like some russian and many of the chinese tubes.
