Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922


Audio Note 300B amp with Dodd battery preamp and ASR Exclusive.

Has anyone had both at the same time and have some insight on which one would work with my system.

The Amperex PW seems high in price vs. the Siemens CCa GP.

Tvad,well I don't know why you seem to be ruffled by my comments.It is not to criticise anyone.But you do appear to be irritated.Sorry!

I still don't see anyone(including you)who has made any thorough,or meaningful comparisons.Enough good input,to make someone spend the kind of money these tubes command.

You basically say, "they are both microphonic,and you would stay away from both".But,you prefer the PW's.

Sorry,but that just is not much of a comparison,and I am not trying to be a smart-ass!It is just not much to go by.

Hence my comments,which basically was meant as a lament,for the lack of "enough feedback"(besides the "I like A vs B" one liners,which seems to be the extent of info on the subject).

At the asking price of NOS PW's,for an individual to find out for themselves,I was hoping to see a bit more.....That's it!Why so peeved?

So I stand by my comments which "only" reflect my remorse,for the lack of meaningful input!

Nothing personal!
I made comments in another thread about these tubes, which frankly I
mistakenly thought I made here, and then realized you likely hadn't read.
Therefore, I deleted my post above.
Tvad,no problem....

Since I may be interested in pulling the trigger on a pricey threesome of PW's could you "please" give some descriptive/comparative input?

I'd really be interested in your comments!

There are some good comments from several members in this thread.

If you have any experience with German cars, I would characterize the
Siemens CCa as Porsche 911, and Amperex PW 6922 as BMW 540i. Both are fast and precise. The BMW has a certain suppleness that ever-so-slightly smooths rough roads while still providing the driver with excellent road response, while the Porsche transmits the road surface untouched.

Both tubes create very a large image size IMO, larger than any other tube in
the 6DJ8/6922/7308 family, and each takes treble response right up to the
line of being "too much of a good thing" without crossing over the edge. It's
this treble extension that provides the outstanding spatial cues. I believe the
CCa can be too exacting at times, whereas the Amperex are generally more
forgiving...but this is just my opinion in my system.
Tvad,thanks...quite well put!

So I guess I need to decide if I would sell my Porsche,to get the BM'R -:)

Btw,I drive an all wheel drive Subaru,and am embarrased to say(in this company) I love it!
