I found this blog a while ago and with what I've read so far in the past few months + what I've tested it seems to really list the best of the best 6dj8/6922 tubes. It also has pictures. It has some tubes that may be more attainable than other(like the ECC88/6dj8 version of the really wanted D-Getter Heerlens).
 
Edit: Not that I would spend this amount of money on a single pair, but damn check this schiit out, http://www.ebay.com/itm/181936330072 , it's beautiful, 1956 - with gold on the inside near the micas, I wonder how it sounds *drool*

New tubes arrived today from Ukraine. Took a shot on Ebay for like $25 to see if I'd get lucky.  Both appear to be grey shield '81's (07/81, 11/81).  Supposed to be a matched set.  I know these aren't the great ones but I figured I should still try them out since I'm so new to tubes.  At least help train me to different sounding tubes.
 
Hard to read the silk screening.

There was a hint in Pic #1 bro...LMAO

Initial impression of the 6n23p's is that they're detailed, if a little bright but seem to be lacking in low end.  I'm sure they would have sounded perfectly fine if they were my first tubes I put in there but coming off the Amperex's I find myself missing this warmth I've come accustomed to.  I think these Voskhods make my LCD2.2s sound more like my HD650's.
 
I'm not sure how the signature changes as they break in but I want to put the Amperex's back in right now

 

[ForceofWill]

I put the 6922's back in already haha.  Short listening session with the '81 Voskhods but the differences are pretty big to me, they're MUCH brighter(too much for me) and the low end just isn't there like with the 6922s.  However, they did seem very detailed and the separation seemed better, specifically on "Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over"
 
I'm sure the '75s are much better than the '81s I got but I don't know if I want to even try them now.  I wonder how many people got turned off the 6N23P's from trying the later years first?

   They're real purtty.  Nice find.  Thanks for sharing.

Stick the Russkies in your Lyr and let 'em burn overnight, while you're at work, etc.  Check their progress periodically.  At 200 hours (rb2013's magic number for burning in Russian tubes) they may be a lot better.  The Lyr is fine running endlessly.  I burned in a noisy pair for 365 hours straight last year.

OK I'll give it a try thanks.

They need time to burn-in. From your pictures, they appear to be Voshkod Rockets; single post greys. I have several pairs from early 1961 to late 1979. They generally lose their brightness and provide excellent bass in as little as 100 hours. Not disagreeing with the 200 hour burn-in. I have Amprex OGs & Bugle Boys. Love them, but in comparison to the Rockets and Reflektors, I found the Amperex tubes to be relatively bright using my Bigrost + Lyr2 combo and HE-400, HE-500, & HD-600 headphones.
 
I don't have any '80s tubes and YMMV.

I got a single "miniwatt" clearly misrepresented from a Bulgarian seller. I don't know what it is . no etching traces left. So I plugged it into a pairing that I wasn't happy with. Kinda dull Philips. I don't know what it is but it is very nice. Has huge heerlen type holographic presentation. Just lucked out on the first try. I will post a picture later for you heerlen heads to evaluate. (Girl sleeping right next to my lyr now) looks more like a 6n23p but still different. Red copper wiring at the top of gold posts and an unusual metal structure that reminds me of tungsrams of east Europe
