Some will say that the 7308 is vastly better than 6922 and they are entitled to that opinion. I can't say they aren't certaintly right. The 6922s however, as NOS are very, very good.
I have used the Siemens 6922 E88CC on the output of a CD player, it worked as well as I could have wanted as described above. I have not used the 7308 by Siemens. I use a Mullard CV2493/E88CC-01s which is comparable to a 7308 I am told and have read. That tube is also great with lots of top end sparkle not what you would expect from a Mullard. It would be a close call sonically believe it or not but pricewise I could get the Mullards for under $200/pair and obviously real NOS NIB and have come to prefer them. See which one you can get more cheaply I doubt you'll find Siemens 7308 NOS/NIB for a lot less than $300/pair, Used maybe.
