I use a Gold Lion 6922 in my c-j Classic 2SE.... only tube to last long other than Volkshod 6n23eb in my experience in that pre... sounds great, long life.
Just buy 60s amperex 7308 white label or 60s siemens gray shield from a reputable dealer. If you really want to try new production tube, try genalex gold lion.
What makes them different ? Are they just cherry picked , matched triodes with top specs? Are they cryo? I think I would just trust a guy like Jim McShane or Brent Jesse if i'm going to spend 100 bucks on a 12ax7 or 6922 .....
I thought they made a big difference in my Pro-ject Tube Box phono preamp. Definitely worth the money, IMO. I think they used 12Ax7s or 12AT7s. No experience with the 6922s. My CD player uses them and I replaced the stock tubes with some vintage Amperex from Vintage Tube Services. I think I paid about 180 for the pair, but well worth it.
