Anyone on Tungstram 6DJ8s?

I just replaced these in my Bel Canto SEP1 pre amp. I don't believe they are the stock tubes? What a difference with the change, but I was wondering if anyone knows the scoop on these babies? I never heard them mentioned on the 'gon.

Do you mean Tungsram? If yes, they are from Eastern Europe, probably Hungary.

You can find a lot of information on these in the Tube Forum at Audio Asylum.

I tried some Tungsram 6922. They were without question the worst tubes I have ever heard. Lifeless and dull...like listening with your head under a blanket.

On the other hand, I own some Tungsram 12AU7, and they are remarkably good. Similar in tone to Mullard.
