Okay so the 6DJ8 family of tubes is HUGE..so many designations
6922
6DJ8
6GM8
ECC86
ECC88
E88CC
the list goes on....so if you have tubes in this family (I know some of you do) I have to tell you about some tube testing.
I have an AUNE T1 DAC that uses a 6922 and I have been testing tubes...The big NOS names, Amperex, Mullard, etc.
But the tube that floated my boat, sounds the closest to my vinyl rig ? A GE Made in Holland 6GM8/ECC86 1963 (and by the codes it was really made in Germany) ..wow...beautiful tube. I can't say enough. And quite inexpensive but hard to find the exact one. The Valvo ones have an A frame, not the same. These have a top plate suspended like a dime and then an O getter...I know of ONE on EBay so if you need a pair our quad, good luck...there may be one seller who has a box full but make him show you pictures like this...
