“From the time I opened the box and removed the tube I knew I was in for something special. The pins are a perfect gold, the logo printed on the glass harkens back to a time when Telefunken was king. I would buy these just to hold and touch them. In my preamp they are absolute perfection. Top end extended but sweet. Great bass. I buy my tubes from Upscale Audio because I know I am getting the real deal and the best quality. When I look at the label with the test results on each box I know that there is an attention to detail I could get nowhere else. Thanks Uncle Kevin!”

“I have a Decware CSP2 headphone/pre-amp and Sennheiser HD650 headphones ...I have used the stock Russian Voshod plant 6N1P (1981) input tube for two years. The 6N1P is a great tube, with super low noise, clear mid-range, and good balance overall, with some warmth....a real bargain, it stayed after trying some other more expensive 6922's. I recently bought the new Beyerdynamic T-90 headphones, which are wonderfully clear, and dynamic headphone....those new Tesla drivers are the real deal! I felt it was time to upgrade the input tube for my Decware CSP2. This Telefunken E88CC it worth it...Just about perfect in every way....The only question now is do I eventually get a matched pair to replace my current output tubes in the CSP2?? Best tube purchase I have made in my 6 years in this hobby...sincere thanks from me and my headphones”

“The telefunken 6922's are smokin' and rockin' in my preamp. Dead Quiet, musical, detailed, smooth and holographic. A pleasure to listen too and a very seductive set of tubes. Worth it! Big thumbs up! Thank you Kevin.”

“I have worked hard enough, and value music so much that I decided to get a pair of these for my preamp. They are very extended, but at the same time lack any kind of harshness. Taking them oiut of the perfect boxes was really something. I turn my preamp off when not in use. Figuring that a good 6922 should last between 5,000 and 10,000 hours, these will go for years. So I feel it was easily worth the investment I made. I have always gotten the best from Upscale Audio. For over ten years they have taken great care of me and I would not buy tubes anywhere else.”

“These are amazingly holographic, deep tubes. They do incredible things for your soundstage, sound is very neutral, not cold, not warm ... just right. Worth every penny, buy before they run out (but save one for me, I still need a match).”
