Re: Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8 overrated?

I would agree that the early Amperex/Philips tubes be it 6DJ8 or 6922 with small, large round getter, or D-getter sound quite similiar(never tried the pinched waste). These all have the same basic plate structure, closed. I find the USA made 7308 of this vintage to be similiar in sound to these early Holland produced 6DJ8/6922.

Where I hear a difference is with the later Holland production using the open plate structure. I have white, orange and world globe print of 6DJ8/6922(no 7308) production circa late 60's early 70's. I don't care for these tubes compared to early production. They are brighter, thinner and lacking dimensionality compared to the earlier production.
