Hi All,
I wanted to get input on my tube selection and get any thoughts for potential improvements in the future.
ET5
NOS Siemens 6922 1960 (this just replaced a failed new production Gold Lion that lasted less than 700 hours)
I will need another really good tube for my stash
Premier 12
New Production Tung Sol 6550
(Back up are SED Winged C 1994)
6FQ7: RCA Clear Tops (Back up are GE Tubes)
5751: Raytheon Windmill (Back Up is a Sylvania JAN 2 mica tube)
What are your thoughts:
I plan to purchase 4 6FQ7 and another 2 5751 and one more 6922 to complete my stash.
Thanks
Jim

Re: Tube complement in my CJ products
I tend to feel like tube selection is more of a preference choice vs "better or worse." Well, maybe stay away from cheap Chinese tubes but other than that I don't make a big deal of one vs the other. Often times I actually just ask my tube supplier of choice what they think would be the best for whatever unit I need the tube for.
Otherwise, you can always order directly from CJ. It will cost more but then you get the "recommended" tube for the unit. I've never been disappointed with a tube from CJ.
