6DJ8 vs. 6922?


Alright tube aficionados, are 6DJ8 and 6922 tubes inter-changeable? I would ask Roger Modjeski or Tim de Paravicini, but they're both dead.

Anyone care to name their favorites of each tube, for use in phono and/or line stage pre-amps?

My favorite is the Valvo CCa and second is Amperex PQ 6922 used in my Pathos Classic MKIII.

I just switched a 2c51 tube in my MHDT DAC with a 6922 with adapter better bass and bigger soundstage

 

 

Every piece of gear that I have owned that uses 6DJ8 tubes, I have had great success with 6922 & 7308 tubes.  All are interchangeable.

In addition, my absolute favorite is the PCC88 (7DJ8).  I have NEVER had a problem using these in ANY unit that uses the 6DJ8 family of tubes.

The National's are my favorite, (thanks Kevin!).
