Damn I faintly remember reading something about that. Thanks for telling me, luckily only had them in for maybe 20 min total. I hear no defects or degradation in the sound quality though, but there is one weird thing:

Sometimes I hear a click noise from the amp (not headphones) maybe once or twice a day and it doesn't seem to matter if musics playing and it doesn't seem to shut down the output either.
Idk if that has something to do with it but will ask about that as well.

I don't think 20 mins would do any serious harm, stress would be on the power supply, so if it can handle +/-400mA continuously... I wouldn't be concerned.

New interface here makes it much more difficult to check in on my phone and I'm never at my pc or Mac so...I'm here but bairly.

I still appreciate the postings on the deals. Im in for the E188cc Siemens tubes

billerb1 · May 17, 2017 at 1:20 PM

I'm still around. The site is a pain but I'm still checking in. Just settling in with my new gear and enjoying the music. Hope all are well.

winders · May 17, 2017 at 1:48 PM

I still come here to check stuff out...but not like I used to. I am over at another site now that has a better signal to noise ratio. BY the way, I recommend getting 5670 adapters and trying some 5670 tubes. Pretty impressive performance for the price!

FWIW I tried the Siemens grey shield E188CC's and the Siemens grey shield Cca's at about the same time a few months back. I very much preferred the Cca's. Much more dynamic and revealing. The E188's sounded veiled in comparison. They're shouldn't be much of a price difference if you're patient.

That was my take on the E188CC vs the CCa.

@vulcanprime if you can get the pair for arond $150ish go for it imo. Much more than that you will be in CCa price territory and to my ears the grey shield CCa`s are better than the grey shield E188CC. If you never hear the CCa`s they E188CC`s can def be end game Siemens for you. They are quite good in their own right.

Interesting... do you have any particular tube recommendations to consider Scott ? I've been pretty happy with the Siemens Ecc88 I bought fairly recently...certainly better than stock, but would now like to consider another approach at a reasonable price.

Unfortunately the cheapest CCA Siemens I found on Ebay were 225 but the seller is from Singapore and they are no test results. Next one is 399.99 from Germany but that has the silver shield and are made in 1970 not 1960's with the grey shield. So unless something changes, I wouldn't be able to afford the Siemens CCA 1960's grey shield version, though I would love to if there was someone selling them at a reasonable price.

Sure. The JW version of the Western Electric 5670 or the pinched waist Tesla 6CC42.
