Very quiet so far. The first time I switched the preamp on I thought that I'd left it muted.Added a bit of drama compared to the EH tubes.

These tubes are at least as quiet as the originals, and better than any of the previous replacements. They sound absolutely wonderful for both vinyl and CD's.

I bought a matched pair of 6922 type3 tubes with cryogenic treatment from you about a month ago. This was to replace a 6dj8 that had gone noisy in my Fosgate Signature phono preamp. V1 & V2 positions in this amp are very sensitive to noise and this is where the 6922s went. Now that they have run in, I am amazed at the improvement in sound over the original tubes. Better base, inner detail and soundstage and quiet! Very happy with your service.

Probably the most durable and dependable tube to use in a Audible Illusions M3A. You can depend on these! Very clear, dynamic midrange and super quiet. Holds up well and for a long time! Bass is accurate and extended and highs nice. A great step up from Sovteks. Overall a real solid, worry-free performer. Easy to recommend. Nice.

I first used these in an AI Modulus, I re-ordered as Cro Platinum's, for my Audiovalve Sunilda phono stage as I had tried some AI ones that I had left over, I must say that these are far better, more inner detail & more extended both ends, with great dynamics that nearly knock you out of your seat, but not in a bad way, just startling when you don't expect it & they do it without glare or hardness, I suspect this is partly achieved through Cryo treatment, I know this tube & it's not just for Audible Illusions, they'll make you Phono Stage or Preamp get up & go especially if they sound a bit dull.

Jared suggested these and patiently answered all my questions. I got these in the Platinum version. Everything the other reviewers say meets with my experience. I expected little if any change and was floored by the improved clarity, warmth and body such an inexpensive change made. Bass is tight literally as a drum, uncolored at all, and my system just has slam it did not have before to this extent before these tubes. Used to use "Sovtek

This is the best tubes I had put in my Audible Illusions. I cannot imagine using other brands than this in my pre: very much liquid than the stocks Sovtek and Ei, and without the Mullard´s ringing. Better bass, sweetest mids, more realistc voices and chords. Blacker silences. The best choice for my A.I. souds at its best! Even better if matced quartet by Kevin Deal equipment.

Kevin, Thank you so much for the new 6922 tubes you sent me. I put them in my Audible Illusion Mod 3A last night, turned it on and WOW. No ringing and quiet as a mouse. I will never by bargain tubes again.
