I have two Gold Lion 6922 new tubes that I am not using, as my amp only requires a single tube. They are the best new 6922 tubes in my opinion, and are working very well in my Tripath based amplifier to provide great detail and bass.

Very tight and punchy bass, with plenty of weight
- Very lively and exciting
- A more forward midrange
- A clean top end (not bright or edgy, but not what I would call "sweet").
- Plenty of detail

I recently mailed one of these to another Polkie for $40 shipped and paypal which seemed to be a fair price for each of the last two tubes. If you are interest in both let me know as they would work well together, but are not a "matched pair".

    I purchased the tube above from Jake to replace the stock EH tube in the Music Hall 25.3DAC. Big improvement out the box before any burn in.

    I would also be interested in trading one for an NOS Amperex 6922 or variant.

    This tube is great for those who want a very dynamic and clear sound, without the grain. They are extremely well made and supposed to last for 10,000 hours. I've now used this tube in both preamp and headphone amp duty; spectacular in both duties.

    What are the numbers on them even tho' they aren't matched?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Both tubes are new and gold pin, however one has the number 1010 printed on the side which doesn't mean anything to me.
