RE: Hey if it's a durable 6922 - what the heck

I have the same problem with an Anthem Pre1L

I would use another tube if it would sound close to what a $25 6922 would sound like, but last a lot longer.

I had a homebuilt preamp that I put in storage and I don't recall it going through Sovtek 6922's (probably the worst sounding variety), but it maybe sounded just as good even with that handicap. Ultimately, I couldn't finish the casework on the unit and shelved it a long time ago.

I think I should get two years even with a lot of use from these preamp tubes, but I don't use it all that much and that is all I get.

Biggest problem I'm having is tubes going noisy with hiss. I wonder what the mechanism of this is as well?
