Mine arrived today (also ordered them on the 13th). I've been listening on the Lyr with the HD 800 and the D2000 (modded) - Mahler, Philip Glass, Webern and Chauvon (Baroque).

I totally agree with your description of these beauties - detailed and balanced across the full spectrum- very accurate. And yes, the soundstage is very good, but I too think they might open up a little more over time with more break-in.

I think I will wait and roll them into the Liquid Glass to try them with the LCD-3's (better match with the LCD's).

Need to listen more, but these will place high on my list.

More later!

Yeah !!!!
That made my day.
 
I only own LCD2's so that's my sphere of influence.
You will be more amazed if they morph into the 65's
I'm thinking ... yup
 
A buck fifty is a steal for something that sounds like that.
 
Let me put it this way.....
$70 for OG's is a big move up from stock.
An additional $70 for these is the same elevator ride up .... sonic goodness.... from OG's
 
My 2 cents.
My ears.  And they are old ears at that.

Hey Noobs out there.

I may have to eat my words concerning sound signature of tubes coming second to source detail. These S&H CCA are exactly what they are hyped up to be. Mr. Scary has it right, and I have to give him the nod. I've only listened briefly, but it was enough.

I'm upset one is microphonic. With headphones I'm hoping that doesn't trigger feedback. Doesn't seem to.

 
Are they NOS?  Maybe the microphonics will improve with time.  Do you have dampeners installed?

I'd love to get a pair of the Siemens & Halske CCa, but they're unobtanium!  When you can find them they're really pricey...  and they're so hard to find!

Well they arrived.
Both sets of RTC's
1965 and 1967
 
Now I can compare them and hope the 65's are as good as I remember.
The 67's from This Listing are appear flawless. Let's hope they have the voice to match.
The seller has more.
I will let you know what I think.
 
 

 
 
OK, now I'm really interested.  What's the exact part number?  I need details...

Nev,
 
This is the exact place Scott and I purchased from.
I can't believe they have so many, but they are the real Magilla.
 
RTC Listing
 
They really shouldn't be anything special.
Amperex plant, Heerlen Netherlands, Gold Pin, Large halo getter.
Not unlike a USN-CEP.
 
I'm here to tell ya, they sound a lot better than USN-CEP.
 
IMO  IMO   IMO
 
If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have sold some..... D getters, and some ....

OK, I have a pair on the way.  I'm really curious to hear them now.  The sad thing is I'll prolly be out of town when they get here...
