I recently replaced the very tired Sylvania 6922 in my CAV 45 S2 control amp, with one of Upscale "Kevin's Stash" EH gold pin tubes. After about 48 hours the little CAV is singing a much sweeter and detailed tune. The sound stage in my 11' wide listening room is wider, deeper, and much more "holographic."
I'm also running Gold Lion KT77's- thus giving the Mullard EL34's a rest. I am liking what I'm hearing very, very much. I can't say which tubes made the biggest improvement, but I suspect it's the 6922. "Dramatic" is not hyperbole. As in "wow!"
I now have a MUCH better understanding of just how good this amp is.
