They were available 6 minutes ago, maybe someone here got them?

Cheap pair Heerlen E188CC $140 OBO. No testing numbers.

I messaged that seller 4 days ago, to ask if they were matched and still have not got a response back. . .or I would have bought those already.

Not bad at all and they’re from Euroklang. I really like that eBay seller.

Okay, I'm fessing up! Guilty as charged! I was looking for a pair Philips E188CC SQs, but couldn't find any decently priced pair so I decided to get these E188CCs instead... I also have a pair of the Telefunken E88CC/6922, but I have just learnt that these E188CCs sound better.

I hope I have not stepped on anyone's toes here, by jumping on those ones. I actually made a rather low tentative offer which I thought the seller, euroklang, was going to refuse or counter, but he accepted it, surprisingly, and I thought the decent thing to do under the circumstances, was just pay up...

I hope these tubes prove to be an improvement over the E88CCs I already have : Those previous E88CC ones were touted by its seller as "TELEFUNKEN E88CC Germany Military Mark matched pair NOS Mega rare," and they do sound decent, although I don't know how they'll stack up against euroklang's E188CCs. I guess we'll just have to wait and see,

Congrats! I look forward to hearing your impressions.

I sold my pair of Tele E88CC couple years ago, was not impressed, good. the Telefunken ECC88 I had were way worse than the E88CC, those were dull, lifeless and boring.
The 62 Tele ECC82 I just got may wind up better than the E188CC at a fraction of the price I paid. $100 shipped.

Amazing! I have bought from that seller before, but now I am not so sure. Why would you even try to sell a half dead tube? Can they even be used, for anything?

 

[Wes S]

Alright guys, it is time for a roll! I feel like I have a good handle on the Amperex 7308 USA, and it is time to go to Heerlen, and hear some warmth. I have made up my mind, that I am rollin in the Philips SQ E188CC 1963, tonight. I will report back after burn in, but I suspect these might open things up more, and could be a welcomed change. The 7308 is a forward and clean sound and is great, I just want to see what the E188CC sound like in the LP. I could use a tad bit more warmth in the midrange, and extension on both ends, so the E188CC might just be the ticket.

 

[Wes S]

TK16 or anyone that has heard both- any chance you could compare, the Brimar CV2492, to the E188CC Heerlen? Which is warmer?

Posted as a joke, would not take them If they were free.
UK tubes are typically warmer than Heerlen.

Cool. Knew it was a joke, but now i dont know about, that seller.

I keep reading about the Brimar, and like what i have have read. So much so, that i bought a back up pair, just in case i love them.

Only spent a few minutes with the square getter 1957 ECC82 Blackburn`s, got my second tube today. They seem to have a 6922 Heerlen PW rich creamy tone. More than the 58 Blackburn ECC82 goal post getter 1958. Look forward to burning in these suckers.
@DRHamp please don't read the above your wallet will thank you bro.

Posted this in the Lyr rolling thread, this is a useful tool in finding Gm values in Hickok TV7 tube testers. Seller gives you 2 numbers per tube. They give you something like 80 80 you choose which range enter the number and you got the numbers.
