The NOS FAQ section Ben Campbell is likely referring to can be found at Audioasylum.com..go to tubes section and from the upper left hand corner you'll get to info on NOS 6922 and variants.

Both tubes are fanstantic tubes, just different sounding. The Siemens are transparent, extremely detailed, airy, with a tight bass. The Telefunkens are warm, rich, transparent, naturally detailed, with a softer, more rounded bass. In the right system, either would be beautiful.

fletchj is absolutely right in my opinion and rch10 at IBM probably has never heard what tubes can do. Cheers,

A good NOS tube will be very quiet also.They are perfect for phono stages.
I have 2 Telefunken 12AX7's in my Rogue 99 phono and the noise floor is almost as quiet as my old Lehmann Black Cube... which is saying alot!!
