RE: Thanks ! i did not know this

"Hi, so the first number indicates the heater voltage. Good to know !"

Not in the case of the 6922 which is an industrial number for the 6DJ8. In the case of the 6922 it is simply a coincidence that the tube starts with "6". For instance the popular 5687 is not a 5 volt tube. A 6DJ8 is a 6 volt tube just as a 6CG7 is a 6 volt tube, but once you get into the industrial numbers you can't predict the filament voltage from the number.
