ARC LS22 and pre tubes


I am looking for 8 "good tubes" to replace the eight Sovtek 6922 with a low budget. Please give me an advice.

Thanks

Are you sure all 8 are bad? Usually you only use 1 main pair and 1 or 2 inputs? Save you a few tubes that way.
There is a recent ad here on Audiogon for some Philips JAN 6922 for $7 bucks each. These are pretty decent tubes, especially for that kind of money.

These are NOT my tubes and I have no affiliation with the seller, just passing on a good deal.
I assume you are looking for new production tubes, and something rugged and quiet (ARC's seem to like them best), and want something with a bit more warmth than Sovteks. My first choice would be EH6922's and, if you want a bit more color but not as balanced, the JJ's are OK too. I use them both, but neither in my ARC SP10 where I use NOS 6h23's.

FWIW
Thank you to all. Actually, comparing to McIntosh C20 preamp, ARC LS22 ( I just bought) is lacking of high and low frequency. It is OK in term of noise ( I think it is better than Mc Intosh C20). So, I am not sure what causes the problems I hope replacing tubes will fix the problem! I am going to try some tubes and let you guys know the results. Feel free to recommend.

Thanks
