Rated at 300V but any higher will harm the tube?

The 6922 is rated for 220V Anode Voltage (absolute max):

The Russian 6N23 which is often sold as “6922” is rated 300V Anode Voltage:

The 5670W (which our adapter re-pins for 6922 pinout) is rated for 300V Anode Voltage (absolute max):

None of these tubes should be used with 400V Anode Voltage. It may work, but it severely exceeds the manufacturer’s absolute limits.

The 5670 has a higher rated anode voltage than 6922 and matches 6N23. So in any equipment correctly designed to use 6922 valves, it will work fine.

In this case, only use manufacturer-supplied valves which have been tested to withstand these above absolute maximum rating conditions.
