I bought these from seller german-tubes on ebay, The original ad is quoted below. I bought and used these for about 2 weeks, they sound really good, they might very well be the pinnacle in being clean and clear. They are smooth in the mids, tight on the low end, and a very open extended top end. They are both labeled CCa 979. Gold Pins.
" 2 x Tubes Siemens CCa with Originalbox, Goldpins and good Values. I tested the Tubes on two Systems. 1 x 14,0 mA / 14,0 mA. 1 x 14,0 mA / 13,0 mA. I make combi shipping. I have tested the Tubes in the Tubetester not on the Amplifier. Look exactly at the photos and ask your questions before bidding.
On my Tubetester is good 8,5 mA / 8,5 mA. The Tubes have 14,0 mA / 13,0 mA or more. "
*Asked seller what value was considered new on his tester, he said 12 ma.
Ultimately think I need something on the opposing side to use with my k701. Won for $125 on the auction, Will sell for $OLD shipped in CONUS. Will ship international but buyer to cover shipping.
Here is the eye candy ..
