This is advertised as Heerlen E88CC, anybody know what this pair is?

They look an awful lot like 6FQ7/6CG7. Plenty of photo ops on eBay, if you're inclined to compare. I have a few for my Lyr (1). Not the best, but can certainly be had cheap. LOL. Just noticed the price. By way of comparison, I got a lot of seven for less than $20 shipped.

I'm too lazy to send that seller a correction :wink:

Got 2 pair of them bad boys, was my favorite German tube until I got the Siemens CCa greys. Still my 2nd favorite German tubes. Think you will really like them.





For me it's the Telefunken E188CC's as #1 (have never heard the Tele Cca's). I really like the Siemens grey shield Cca's and the Siemens E188CC's are definitely a top-tier tube....but there's just something about those Telefunken E188's that does it for me. They are just so pure. Totally unadulterated music. Different folks, different strokes.

All Voskhod 6N23P vacuum tubes require considerable burn in, to sound their best. Amperex PCC88/7dj8 sound similar to Amperex 6dj8. 7dj8's run higher heater current.

thanks :) what about the other tube glowing like twice as bright as the other? I've read its probably manufacturing related. both channels sound ok with no distort or anything, its just quite distracting now i got the socket savers and wanted to see more of dat glow :D

edit: more observations, if i tap the rear tube slightly i hear little ringing noice in right channel, it is also the tube that glows more. I hear nothing from the front tube if i tap it.
