Tubes for Eastern Electric Minimax

I posted this a while ago:

Here are my limited thoughts on the tubes I tried:

NOS Amperex 6922 PQ Gold Pin US Version White Lettering: Most expensive and the clear winner. Clean, detailed across the spectrum, great soundstage and depth

Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 Holland White lettering. 2nd choice. Much like the above, except I found the high end a tad overpowering and distracting at times

HP (Amperex) 6DJ8 A frames Holland: 3rd choice. Too much low midrange.

NOS Valvo PCC 88: 4th choice. Not enought bass detail. Sounded a little too harsh for me after even 30 hours. According to Bill, these take a while to break-in, but are a good value.

EH 6922: These were the stock tube and I never gave them a fair listen to evaluate.

Try Amperex Orange Globe dimple getters 6dj8 tubes for a very smooth, detailed vinyl sound.

Try amperex 12ua7 or Mullard. This preamp is a great on to roll in and reactes very well. The unit can be upraded for 200.00 from moringstar audio as well.
