Which Tube? Quite a few tubes can be used in this circuit. The tube chosen was a 6DJ8 type dual triode, as it boasts both a relatively high mu and high transconductance. (Other tubes could have been used. For 9 pin fans, the choices are many: 6AQ8, 6C4, 6CG7, 6FQ7, 6N1P, 12AU7, 12B4, 12BH7, 5687, 7119, triode connected 6BQ5, 12BY7, EF86. For octal fans, the choices are fewer: 6AH4, 6J5, 6SN7, 6BL7, 6BX7, 12SN7. Other factors in choosing the 6922 are its ready availability, sometimes low noise (many are microphonic), and low heater current demands.
