Illuminati (1st Degree)

Probably has to do with the "superior 6dj8 family of tubes". Recently got a preamp that uses these in the line stage and it is exactly as you describe, screechy. i have tried all manner of the hot 6dj8/6922 with hardly any benefit. Plus, you need about 10 of them to get 3 or 4 that are half way stable. Often, even new, one side is way to strong, the other too weak. Play them a couple of hours and retest, and they are not the same. Contrary to the decware story, my 12ax7a preamp, AVA superpas III kit is always a pleasure.
