Gets a bit confusing when you consider translations from Cyrillic alphabet bet to Latin alphabet, but the 6922 is translated either as 6n23 or 6h23. There are other letters after those, but the "n" and "h" are as close as you can get to the symbol for pi, from Cyrillic, in the Latin alphabet. See at the link below, about half-way down that page, is an explanation of those letters that come after.I've forgotten the Soviet 6SN7 numbering, but as I recall there are two types. The 6H8C (or something close to that) types that pretty much all suck, and then an earlier version (who's number escapes me) with large holes in the plates, that's quite sought after. I've been out of the 6SN7 world for a long time and recollections of that type are sketchy.

Hey Sondek, appreciate the info. I realize how confusing the Cyrillic alphabet could be, but I have no problem with it, I'm fluent in Russian.
So got the numbers. Do you think the one in the picture is good? It's from MELZ. There are even older ones from Foton, but the construction is a bit different.
Wish I could help you, but I moved on from 6SN7s about the time the 1578 was beginning to really get traction with users, and I just don't recall now.
I still love the 6SN7 and 6F8G. However, after I'd drunk directly driven, full-range ESL Kool Aid, I sold the gear I had that used those octals and went a whole other direction.

I bought my first Sovteks in 1989. They've always been a 6922 equivalent. Why even bother to make the lower spec'd 6DJ8? Every amp out there designed for 6DJ8 can run a 6922, but not the other way round. So why would you want to make both types?
