I did a significant amount of listening comparison among various 6DJ8, 6922 and 7308 tubes as a replacement for the Sovtek 6922 that came with my Counterpoint SA 2000 preamp.Of course the circuit, cables, amp and speakers determine much of the sound you hear, but I also found the Sovtek to be hard to listen to, especially in the upper treble range.
I like the Amperex 6922 PQ, particularly the pinched waist version that I've had in the circuit for the past 6 months. Recently I found an Amperex 7308 SQ pinched waist that I like even better.
Almost anything in a NOS 6DJ8, 6922 0r 7308 will sound better than the Sovtek 6922 IMO. I have found that Joe S's comments regarding the various tubes he reviewed to be pretty realistic, at least for my system.
