Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS?

I just purchased a (used) CR 17LS Pre. This is not the 17LS2 version. I haven't got it home yet, but I'm already wondering if there's some experience out there with 6922 tubes. Also, are there other tube types that will work in this unit that are not 6922s? Thank you in advance, for your time!

A friend recently replaced his 17LS stock tubes with Philips Miniwatt 6922 SQ and he's quite pleased with the added extension they provide.

I like the speed and tighter bottom end I get from using Philips JAN 6922's instead of the stock Sovtek's. The soundstage is a tad smaller, but the sound is better overall.

Try Electro Harmonix 6922EH in your 17LS which is now standard in the 17LS2. But if interested in NOS exotics then Amprex or Siemans would probably be worth looking at.

Good Luck!*>)
