| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Strangely enough many ECC88 sound better with more air and musicality compared to their bigger cousins like E88CC and E188CC. i have found this to be true sometimes as well experienced tube rollers understand that with small signal tubes, some... | |
| Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs jjss49 Thank you. Good point. My speakers are Vandersteen Treo CT space is a med size room.

| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? from brent jesse audiotubes website: 6922: This is one of two premium versions of the 6DJ8 tube. First of all, it is the same tube as the 6DJ8, and will work wherever a 6DJ8 is needed. It has premium features such as low noise, low microphonics... | |
| Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs you don't mention your speakers or your space... but pass integrated should be just fine, how it will compare sonically will depend somewhat on what tubes you used in your bhk300s | |

| Siemens EL 34 @decooney @jjss49 would be interested in learning if you have ever come across another amp that comes close to or beats tine rm9mkii - in your opinion. I do prefer adjustable bias, and amps with top shelf transformers. I do see many of the smal... | |

| What tier do you consider Anthem integrated? this is a hard call, anthem is good gear, quite well made, and arc room correction can be very impactful in some (actually many) rooms in terms of improving sound quality that is heard that said, pass labs would sound a little nicer, warmer, less... | |
