RE: Gold Lion E88CC

from my experience, the Gold Lion tubes are the same (regular) quality as the standard EHX tubes. Speaking about EHX 6922, the problem is parameters on a tube tester are not very nice, and the many I had, were always drawing a fraction too little current. I had to return them often. From 100pcs EHX new out of the box, I had often 50 that draw only 85% current. I mean they're not bad, as long as Gm is normal. Just they are always a bit on the low end.

Occaisionally they can have vacuum loss, just on the shelf. That's not a good sign for the others, of the same lot.

On the other hand 6922 is a VERY difficult tube, you have to be glad with any good ones you can get. It's not as easy as finding good 12AT7.
