RE: Let me rethink this whole thing...

It's really hard to improve on the Siemens in the venerable Ah! I tried a boatload of different 6DJ8 types in mine over the years it was in use. Although I never had the 8223 available to me, I had my share of 7308's, 6922's, 6DJ8's and 6h23's in it. My two favorites in it were the Siemens 7308 (1960's versions) and plain old Bugle Boy 6DJ8's. The Amperex 7308's and 6922's were nice too, but ultimately left me wanting. You're probably sick of hearing me say it, but the biggest further improvement you can make to your Ah! is to ditch that length of zip cord excuse for a stock power cable. The stock cord really limits the Ah!'s performance. I can personally recco Chris VH's Flavor 3 DIY recipe for the Ah!
