And also the 7728. My dac can use 12at7 as well.
I'm pretty sure (?) you were the pioneer and 'found' the Raytheon / CBS 7730's to try in the LP!

Since you only need single tube give this a whirl. Extremely early Heerlen ECC82. 1956 or earlier.I'm pretty sure (?) you were the pioneer and 'found' the Raytheon / CBS 7730's to try in the LP!
Should have pair of 1960s BEL 6922 by end of week. india plant version of philips pq holland.
The two standouts in this range seem to be the 1960s BEL 6922 (popular herleen holland plant-like sound type) and 1960s Siemens 6922 (popular german plant-like sound type). The former most say has extended highs+enhanced mids without being clinical, the latter extended highs tho a bit more clinical but with enhanced bass. Both great choices tho depending how you want the sound profile to leanI am considering these tubes, albeit not for a LP but for a WA3. I’m browsing through as I don’t see a dedicated 6922 thread, figured you good folks would have some good suggestions.
To anyone in general any good suggestions for a matched pair of 6922 in the $200 range?

Probably the 1960s bel thenThank you for the suggestions, I am looking for a nice lush/wet sound but not overly bass heavy across the board.

Oh, I didn't realize this was an option. Thank you for the suggestion, would this affect the amp in terms of voltage or bias? I think that is what it is called, I am a novice when it comes to tubes so forgive my lack of technical explanation.I know it's a leap, but you will be rewarded! Get a pair of these and you'll forget about 6922 variants.

The 12au7 variants are cheaper and deliver superior SQ to any 6922. That includes the Siemens CCa, Telefunken e188cc/CCa, and the Eindhoven or Heerlen pinched waist e88cc.

12AX7 won't work on LP gain it too high. ECC88 is not in the same series. Links to ad or pics?Might you guys help me identify a pair of 12ax7 tubes? The guy who is selling them only takes *really* bad photos, so those aren't of much help. But they have Amperex Bugle Boy logo, and on the same latitude as the logo, two lines of numbers: the top is 65 and the bottom is 27. These seem printed. I start to get confused because the guy also says that etched into the glass of both tubes is the following sequence: 165 4532. Any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT: forgot to say they were 12ax7/ECC88
Thanks! I can use the 12ax7 elsewhere, but the numbers baffled me. Honestly, the images are useless, the guy doesn’t know how to focus
