Thanks for the posting that!
Brilliant! Thank you!
P.S. Having reread this:
I think it simply means that marriages between Philips workers were common at the time.

I was happy to see I'd downloaded the PDF.
My translation is really rough. Corrections are not just welcomed, but encouraged!

I got a pair of the tele e188cc, I just bought a quad of the tele ecc88/6dj8 pretty cheap. Anyone own both these tubes or have a general idea on the sonic differences?

Is there any difference between change codes for the E188CC (particularly the delta Heerlen ones)? The most common ones I see are VR7 or VR8 but there do seem to be a few earlier change codes so I'm wondering if anyone has any idea about them. They mostly seem to use the double stage O getter except for the VR0 so I'm guessing the difference isn't that significant?

Well it's hard to say unless someone has heard them in theory they just increment the number after some time the construction remains the same, there are myth and legends about the materials put inside of them - again in theory the older the better materials were put so the sound quality could be much much better in a VR1 vs a VR9 (there's actually a fair chance this is true and probably equally fair chance it is not
).On a different note - got my Valvo Hamburg PCC88 - 3 tubes year 1960 and 1 tube 1961, going to measure them and have a listen tonight, will share my thought after
But they came in original Valvo boxes which is a nice touch - one of them also has a price sticker from Conrad Electronics with the amount of 4 Deutsche Marks Exciting stuff

Remember somebody asking about Holland e188cc, think he might be the 1 who bought the hg 75 Reflektors in the end. This seller lives real close to me so you guys buy em up before I get the urge.

So the Valvo PCC88 - 60s are actually really enjoyable, I can make an excellent pairing with any 3 of the tubes and an ok pairing with the leftover one, listening to the tightest match atm and it sounds really good, very different from the teles/HGs, but as captivating as those. I will give em a few days before my final verdict but I'm starting to get more hamburg-curious now.

I mentioned these as a possible steal about a week ago. Don't know if their sound is magical but that is a pretty darn good price for Heerlen E188CC's. If I remember right the seller is a Head-Fi'er...in fact I'm the one who sold him the Mullard 4109's he's selling as well. I think he vouches that they have no tube noise. You might want to verify that before you buy.
Anyway, on paper it looks like a very good deal.

Just put guidostrunks CCas back in. I don't think they're coming back out. The most beautifully flawed tubes I've ever heard. Those microphonics just flood the back ground with a tide of whispers. A shadow of the music trails off in the distance while the presence region darts around and shakes the hell out of you. I'm listening to underground music from 1980. It's not supposed to be this vivid .

The realism , is staggering bro. That's one of the main things that separated them from everything I've ever rolled in the Lyr. The lifelike imaging, and spooky nuances floating in the back in complete blackness; no other tube accomplished that engagement.
Priceless man. I'm glad you're still diggin them.

They were sold few minutes after I linked them. Got 3 sets of tubes incoming, quad Telefunken ecc88 and Blackburn mullaRd ecc88, that's enough for the time being.
