| Best 6922 or variant for Conrad-Johnson 16LS ? Steve,The Mullard is a great tube and is no slouch, but the bass is not up to the Tungsram in my opinion. The tungsrams bass is top notch. This may be due to the fact that the tube is a little laid back in my system. Has a great balanced presentat... | |
