RE: What is your favourite PW 6922/E88CC tube?

I have about 35 of these tubes. I didn't know they were made in Eindhoven. I can distinguish between the USA made and Holland made in terms of sonic character. The Holland PW's have a little extra zing (I am not sure if I could identify them blindfolded, this may be placebo effect) for lack of a better term. The USA tubes are slightly more laid back. Both slaughter any other tube in this family in all parameters.
I suppose if I check the codes on them I mught uncover a Eindhoven tube or two. The 7DJ8 A frame dimpled solid disc getter gets honorable mention in this family. It betters most in dynamics and extension but is slightly less refined sounding (still a realtive bargain).
