RE: Tonal Characteristics of 6922/6dj8/EC88

I think vintage makes a ton of difference on the 6N23P tubes. The ones I really liked are all 1970s or earlier production. I've got a couple sets of 80s and 90s versions that are much more pedestrian but still as good as most budget 6DJ8s. Try the 1974 silver shield, getter on the wire, Reflector and I think you'll agree - all years may not be spectacular, but some of them are.
