recommended 6922 tubes for a moderate price?
Hello fellow A'goners!
I'm new to tube rolling and have a modest budget, but want to try upgrading the driver tubes (6922's or their equivalents) for my Onix SP-3 integrated amp. I'm driving Vandersteen 2ce's and generally prefer blues, jazz, and classic rock. Hoping to improve that "live" quality and "3D" soundstaging. Would like to keep it under $100 a pair, but don't know how to navigate the world of tubes quite yet. Some of the prior info. may be irrelevant but any suggestions from wiser audiophile brethren is much appreciated! Thanks!

I agree with the recommendation to contact Andy Bouwman at Vintage Tube Services. When you're a tube newbee, researching tubes can be a minefield, and it helps to have one trusted voice to hear. That's Andy. Tell him your budget, the component that will utilize the tubes, and what sound you're after, and he'll do his best to lead you in the right direction. He'll sell you only the highest quality tubes. You won't need to be concerned with noisy, weak cast-offs. Otherwise, it becomes a little like tossing a dart at a wall full of well meaning opinions/suggestions. Also, Joe's Tube Lore is an excellent primer on 6922 tubes. Highly recommended reading. |
