This because it draws more filament current than many stock power supplies can provide. Did I mention they run hot!

OK, thanks for the correction, I must have had them confused...

That is my line! At my age I am confused all the time.

Well, this is for my nearfield rig which consists of DACMAGIC ---> DODD Audio ELP----> Twin Toshiba M15 amps biamping a pair of Mordaunt Short Carnival 2 speakers.

The stock (to me) tubes were the JAN Philips ECG. I was finding these a little hot on the top end.
I've since switched to a pair of Ei Elites 6DJ8E. These are a definite improvement with a fuller bottom end, a slight but noticeable reduction in treble heat and an increase in soundstage.

The other tubes in my inventory that I've yet to try are 6922EH.
The speakers are quite new as well so they still need to settle down somewhat.

I don't seem to be having much luck finding 6H23-EB tubes.

Iceclass, do a search for 6N23P-EV (the Russian cyrillic H=N, B=V).
Also, the 6N23P-EV is said to be the same tube as the Electro Harmonix 6922.

Hope that helps

Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio has some of the best recommendations going, both NOS as well as current. My last 6922's (for my CDP) were Ediswan CV2942s. Of course you could just get some Tele's, but be prepared to lighten your wallet, a LOT!

6DJ8/6922/7308

Another source I've used is Vintage Tube Service. Andy was easily the most knowledgeable resource when it comes to NOS. He sells used and NOS. I've purchased some used tubes that tested like new and saved a bucket load of money.

Good link. The Ediswan are some of my faves and much lighter on the wallet than the Tele's or Siemens.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.
I now have a little gaggle on the way.

Quite amazed and amused about the telefunken tubes ...my experience (46 years f.w.i.i.worth) is that they have less hours then Amperex 6922 or Jan sylvania/philips tubes like the 7308. Example: After 2K hours they deteriorate fast and faster as....Test yourself. F.e. the Jan. sylvania or philips o.a. keeps one smiling.

Tele 's sound clean, clear and very detailled. (almost....transistor -like)
When driving through Germany wonder why some germans pay such a high price for Tele's.
Guess... the idea of having a Tele is more important then it's sound and life..... stay clear and clean in the wallet.....

Bogus Telefunkens with recently printed label likes of Ecc803S, E88cc, Ecc808S are reproduced the far east as well only if you own the real ones you notice the difference.The 6922 will come or is allready...

Some pay gold for the idea of having a Tele......

Pick up a good condition Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 on eBay and you will enjoy it.
