I'm not the most experienced tube roller out there, but I can say that these approach or exceed the level of detail I've had in my solid state amps. I have a Bifrost Multibit DAC and a Lyr 2 and in the past have had a Magni 2 Uber and an O2 (Audeze EL-8C headphones w/ C3 Audio Canare cable). They made me want to cry from joy when I started listening to them. They're superb. Quieter than the Schiit solid state tubes, too (LISST).

I have all the top shelf NOS 6922's available and can say there may not be a better value in NOS 6922 tubes anywhere. I tested these tubes in a Parks Audio phono stage it uses a single pair of 6922 tubes. I use a pair of Kevin's NOS Telefunken E88CC in this preamp and wanted a less expensive tube to use for my daily listening. These Tungsram 6922 are a very close replacement and that is saying allot. Great soundstage and that controlled sonic balance that makes us want to keep listening for hours without fatigue. If you new to rolling tubes get a pair of these they are a great reference tube to compare other tubes to.

Wonderful tubes, opened things up and took the "veil" off of the music.

I purchased these tubes to replace a pair of original 6h23's in my Audible Illusions L-3. These are actually recommended by AI and I have found them to be excellent replacement tubes that are dead quiet and really seem to hold up. The 6h23's sound excellent in their own right but this tube does ad a refinement to this preamp. It is a somewhat cleaner and tighter sound that does not lose any sweetness in the process. Things really open up noticeably. It really takes what is a superb preamp with stock tubes and grabs that last little bit which makes it a worth while improvement.

This are the tubes you want in your EAR 912 or EAR 868 Preamps in all positions. They are pure perfection, neutral, quiet, ultra musical, and are a significant improvement across all frequencies over supplied stock. Get a set plus a backup set for later. You won''t regret it...you need them. I tried all the other tube brands with EAR and these are the way to go. He who hesitates is lost.
