Bro you should try the Western Electric JW early 1950's 396A, better than any 6922 I own.

Yes, that is what I found as well...which is why I have 4 pair of them and no 6922 tubes!!

I think Im gonna go with the Tung sol for my lyr 2. Which adapter would I need to make it fit ? Do i need socket savers and those adapter?

These, or something similar. I think most rollers are using these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pc-Gold-pl...2-6DJ8-tube-adapter-for-you-amp-/191636111735

You don't need socket savers, but it'll be tougher to get the adapters out of the Lyr, should you want to roll some 6DJ8/ECC88 or similar type tube. Also, socket savers help raise these smaller tubes out of the amp. So, not necessary, but I'd recommend them. YMMV, of course.

The CBS 5670 are in not warmed up yet. adapters coming tomorrow for my dac too, seems like I ordered them months ago.

Havent seen one I ordered almost a month ago, huge variance in shipping time. Shenzhen EMS why you do dis to me

No schiit. I ordered a pair on 9/2 and the tracking doesn't even show them in US Customs yet. Is this where that "slow boat from China" phrase came from ?

Lol, always great to get an Exorcist quote. I used to freak my son out when he was little with that one. I'd kinda spin my head as best I could and then give
him the, "Damie, Damie...why you do dees to me Damie?" He couldn't get enough of it.

My adapter is almost here. I'll start cooking my Sylvania or ken rad.

2 hours in with CBS 5670, think you guys would enjoy this tube, especially if you have the Bendix and find it harsh in the highs. Highly detailed at or near Bendix 2C51 level or Siemens CCa greys. Got some warmth to them but not at Tung Sol level mids. Needs burn in it seems. May in fact be a Bendix Tung Sol hybrid that the seller and Sammy say after more burn in. Recommended $75 or so a pair. Can`t wait to hear the burned in version.

 

[billerb1]

But, but I don't want to buy any more tubes.

Agreed Bill. I'm ready to sit back and enjoy music for a while. This tube burning and evaluating is beginning to smack of effort.
Waiting for socket savers ordered last weekend. Last time adapters arrived in 9 days. Chrome domes waiting for lyr. The second pair of russkies are beckoning hare kare by lyr. It's downed 3 tubes . I did buy a mixed box with an rca and a tung sol in it to complete my singles to pairs. Hopeful purchase

 

[billerb1]

I like this guy from N.O.

You are probably not going to want to hear an evaluation pair then. Lol. I can send the Bendix and CBS Saturday, if that adapter you ordered is the 2C51 I can send a pair with that bro.

It's a classic! Continues to stand the test of time, IMO, and so quotable
