Valves ,where too buy?

[Ya-Boo]

guidence required, I wish too play with a few different valves
amp is using chelmer 6922 .......good /bad ? me, not a clue

what are my options, do certain valve makers have a particular sonic "sound"?

and where do you sorce these

yep valves sound different
Big feild to play in, rule of thumb, NOS valves tend to sound warmer as opposed to modern wich can be the opposite.
Im useing Mullard NOS in my phono amp and i find them warm but with plenty of detail and dynamics.

try watfordvalves.com

I've got to try and dispell something. An ECC88 is not the equivalent of a 6922, an E88CC is however.

Please refer to Duncan Amps excellent site where I obtained the following info....

6922 Substitutes
Close or identical 6922WA, CCA, CV10320, CV2492, CV2493, CV8065, E88CC, E88CC01, ECC868
Different rating or performance 6DJ8, 6N23P*, CV5358, ECC88
Different filament voltage 21DJ8, 7DJ8, CV10403, PCC88, UCC88
