TUBES 6922 pinched waist

I just installed them a week ago and have no doubt that they sound great. One is a Stromberg, one is Amperex PQ. Soundwise, you can't tell a difference.
BTW - I do not like Bugle Boys. Almost anything else is better. Especially orange globe 6dj8's.

I suggest that you look into some cap swapping. The orange globes are not really a night and day different tube in nature, but if you have good caps, and a sound design, the BB's are about as good as it gets in a 6DJ8. Of course tubes are not linear, so they all suck compared to good FET circuits in the accuracy department. That said, coloration, while not accurate, can be more pleasing than an accurate reproduction...

I am not interested in orange globes.My question is are the White lettered pinched waist Amperex worth Tracking Down.I have the Pathos Logo,tube pre and solid state power.

OK, here is what I suggest. While it applies generally, it is particularly true f rthe tubes you reference. Buy only from a relaible dealer of tubes whom you know trust and/or who will trust you to return them if needed. These can be just fabulous sounding tubes from my experience but can be microphonic to an extreme. I had a couple the sounded fantastic in Kora Eclipse that I had, but I had another pair that looked identical but rather sucked. At the price thse command, you want to be sure you can return them.
