Hi All,

As I've decided to place this hybrid integrated amp into my main system ( after several years of having it located in our bedroom where it saw very little use ) and now feel it's time for me to truthfully understand what's fully capable of bringing to the table?, as I've gone through the regular channels........, of lets say Joe's Tube Lores | Tubemaze | Brent Jesse's | Tubemonger | Tube World | Head Fi | AudioGon | Audio Circle | Audio Karma | older postings from the now defunct Hong Kong Tube Audio, and have gotten what appears like a very very solid recommendation from our own " TubeGuy1954 " thanks Tom, on pursuing the Voshkod " Rocket Logo " 6n23p NOS 1974 | 1975 | 1979 Gray and Silver Shield versions.

Yet trying to do my best to read between the lines on sonic differences according to said origin of say American | British | France | German | Holland | Japanese | Russian | Czechoslovakian | Slovakia made variants of the 6922 | ECC88 | E88CC types, it seems each does offer a very distinct flavor, if you'll........., it seems as usual while some favor domestic versions like Amperex " White Label " versus those produced in Holland, and others tend to gravitate towards Mullard or Telefunken or Siemens CCa types, others warn against them, and say the more industrial or military graded versions aren't as open | transparent | musical, yet as I only have the originalstock Sovtek | JJ | Tesla | Tungsram types in house, and seeming as I'm trying to achieve a great balance signature which compliments acoustic jazz recordings, and seek more of a signature based upon attack of note | timbre and tonality correctness | nimbleness | speed and offers a sense of uppermost clarity when it comes to the nature decaying abilities of cymbal | emphasis on rimshots ( as if hearing the very flesh behind each ) as well as the gentler pucking | strumming of guitar and double bass strings - note wise minus any sense of smearing or overhang.

Could someone here like Bambi B. | Eli Duttman | Sondek make the time to offer me at least 2-4 solid recommendations on which brands or makes might be capable of satisfying said requirements?, and my budget taps out about $350 | pair, so I'm not seriously looking at those CCa | 7308 types, yet am all into those labeled as slightly better versions of say the E88CC's.

Step ye forward and educate me on said matters, as it relates to the 6922 | 6dj8 tubes........., I'm all ears ( and eyes, as I'll be watching said post ) so please share your findings with a newbie as it relates to said tube variants.

TIA!.
