Re: 6922 for a CJ Premier 17LS

Try resoldering the tube pins with the tubes inserted. The pins have some play in them and I believe the pins are soldered with some tension on them. I stick some stock tubes in and just reheat the solder joints. Seems to cure breaking tubes, which for some reason the Mullards are more sensitive to.
That being said the Mullards have great midrange and bass, but lack a little in the extreme top end, hence my use of Dutch 6922's to extend the top end. The 6DF8's are okay but not quite as pristine sounding as the 6922's.
IMHO, the 16 has better bass, with a lower output impedance, but essentially the same circuit. My 17 was tweaked and I think it fairs well against even the ART.
