My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright!


I recently bought a Canary CD-100 CD player.  I swapped out the ElectroHarmonix 6922 tubes for Amperex NOS made in Holland since I had read a review stating that the tubes it came with were too bright.  Unfortunately, it's still too bright for my tastes.  Does anyone have a 6922 they would recommend that's a bit warmer?
Thanks!

They get the newer made Goden  lion tubes  they sound pretty respectable and decent priced or just buy vintage 
Brent Jesse recordings ,can get you whatever balance  you are looking for, but any good matched vintage pairs will cost 
$150-500 a pair depending on. Rarest.  Mallards the Real one 
Are usually the warmest . Phillips owned them s well as pampered
And the very good Phillips miniwatt tubes  D getters are the oldest version usually and on average best sounding.  The Mazda silver foil about $375 a pair will last for years and give you great warm 
Detailed performance.  This tube is a Major step up and Brent 
Stands by his recommendations ,every system is a bit different 
He will exchange to get the balance you are looking for.
Your interconnects ,and speaker cable quality can also have a huge effect in performance . If running a separate  Dac, that too can 
Make a sonic impact .you made a blank statement ?amp,? Preamp
If power  to med priced all too often crappy stock stolen  coupling caps. I have been into every face of audio for over 40 years  and 
The weakest link are the ones that show their ugly head first 
Your tubes most like are cheap stock tubes ,I not changed yet.
