Beautiful tube which produces sounds fantastic. Tightly matching triode sections, thanks Kevin.

In the 6 years I've had my Bottlehead Seduction phono stage, I've rolled many great tubes. I thought I'd found the best in Amperex USN/CEP 7308's and had used those for a few years. After re-configuring my 2 channel system to hybrid ESL speakers, I felt there was a bit of "something" missing from their wide, detailed sound stage during vinyl play. There was - a dead quiet, deep black background. That's what these platinum grade Telefunken deliver. Thanks for a spot on evaluation and recommendation, Kevin.

I own older Audio Research gear that takes all 6922's. I am in the process of retubing every piece with these Telefunkens from Kevin. Its making a huge difference in listening enjoyment. Give them 10-15 hours break in, and things come nicely into focus. Bought 4, only 5 more to go. Smooth, wide and deep soundstage. Relax and sink into the music!

Never having purchased a NOS tube I was somewhat reluctant to make this purchase. Well after letting it break-in for a couple of days this tube delivered in spades. Am using it in a CJ Classic 2 SE preamp which only requires one 6922. I just ordered another two of these gems and will save them for future use. Outstanding!

I have a audio research ls-2b which uses 1 6922 so easy to tell benefits from tube rolling.I collect tubes so i have just about every 6992-amperex pinch-square getter-siemans 60's-rca labeled pinch-tesla-Russian-and several newer issue and highly rated.This tele 6922 is the best of all of them.For my pre it is perfection.Also i couldn't believe the condition when i opened the box-They look beautifull!Grab some while u can-they are extremely scarce in this condition!!!!

What can i say, this tube is the best i have heard. just look at those gold pins and the box is stamped with testing results, i bought platinum grade and when opening the vintage box it was like watching the birth of a new born. I will name him Televonfunken Von Hagen lol. very fast shipping excellent support from Kevin on my preamp, arc ls2b and the best price. Thanks Kevin Von Hagen

I ordered these for Fosgate phono stage and also tried in my amp aConrad Johnson ET250S. Honestly I loved the sound so much I'm ordering a second pair so both make use of this phenomal tube. Solid bass clean highs, never bright with loads of air and imaging just like the real thing. Makes me want tomlisten for hours. Thanks again Kevin!
