I read through the Lyr tube rolling thread, and have followed a few members over the years, that have the same views on tube sound signatures, as me. Also, a bunch of research online, and tube rolling a bunch myself, to learn the sound signatures. I basically have a good idea, what most 6922 variants sound like, because of the things mentioned above. This forum and its members have saved me a ton of money, by helping learn about tubes. In the Lyr tube rolling thread, you can read about several members journey, through tubes and learn from them. They have been through all the greats.Whenever I read a post like this (featuring a tube I never heard)...I always wonder how you knew to pick these particular tubes.
Basically i started with the Amperex as first roll, because it is pretty much even top to bottom. Then realized i wanted more extension on both ends and a little more warmth in the mids, so went for the Brimar, because i knew it was gonna give me the biggest change toward what i wanted to hear, and so far it is spot on. I like to roll tubes with completely different sound sigs and then dial in from there, if needed with more rolling.
