In Reply to: RE: Try Amperex orange globe 6dj8 If your amp isn't too hard on them posted by steve.ott@kctcs.edu on January 08, 2017 at 12:59:04
Can any 6dj8 substitute for a 6922 in any amp? Or do I need to find out from Lamm whether I can substitute?

I believe the max plate voltage of a 6dj8 is about 130 V, while it is around 220 for a 6922, so if an amp has been designed around a 6922, it could be harder on a 6dj8, and so will not last as long as the 6922.
Check with your amp manufacturer.
I will suggest "6DJ8 Amperex Orange World Logo, dimpled disc getter. Made in Holland.", which can be currently purchased from Brent Jessee @ audiotubes.com.
Better/fatter sounding yet would be the late 60's/early 70's production (dimpled disc getter version) produced @ Mullard Balckburn, but they don't come up very often.
I once rolled pretty much every 6922 type tube in the input position of an Audion Silver Night 300B SET amp, and those are my rec's.
The late 60's/early 70's Amperex Holland O getter (usually with Orange Globe logo) mentioned elsewhere is also a very good one if the dimpled disc version(s) are too fat sounding in your setup.
Avoid 7308's period, for the sound you want to achieve.
