I am a little confused. My tube 6H23EB died and I need to buy new ones. I see 6H23n-EB and 6H23p-EB and AI on their website says for L3 tubes are 6H23n-EV. I would like the original tube 6H23EB but they are no where to be found. So is there a differece between all the tubes I mentioned or just buy 6H23n-EB. Thanks.

I just picked up a pair of Electro Harmonix 6922 from Jim balanced and calibrated, these are supposed to be 6H23n tubes. They sound superb.
Shoot him an E Mail.
You are correct, the EH 6922 is the current production version.
Thank you for the compliment as well!!
I just replaced the tubes in my Modulus 3B with new matched 6h23neb tubes from the tube store for 200.00 for the 4 of them. They are the ONLY tubes Audible Illusions recommends for their preamps. You can also buy the tubes from Art Ferris at AI but I think they are just a little bit more money for the same tubes that the Tube Store sells.

I used these in my Aesthetix linestage a couple years back. They sound wonderful. See the link below and be sure to read the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION paragraphs.
Any 6922,6dj8 ,cv2492, 7308 and 7Dj8 tube will work in that preamp.
but they won't sound as good as the tubes he is looking for. He needs to stick to what AI recommends.
The difference comes mostly from varying translations of the Cyrillic alphabet and the inadequacies of the standard English character set to express Cyrillic. The "n" is actually the mathematical symbol pi, but the n is the closest thing to the symbol pi, and some simply use the letter "p" instead of the symbol for pi or n. The B vs. V is also a translation thing. In either case, the EB or EV means long-life (E), high-reliability (B/V).
I have found real synergy with the Electro-Harmonix type 2 after years of 6h23EB..

Be Advised the Russian Military 6H23n-EB & 6H2p-EB are the same tube.
