Nice info, thanks. I totally agree with Lord Soth on the signature of the Lorenz Stuttgart 2-mica PCC88's. Great instrument separation, wide/deep soundstage and terrific tight, extended bass.

Last year, I started to sell a couple pairs of Stuttgart 2-micas. Very glad I didn't...as I discovered they are the bomb in my phonostage.

Enjoy those 3-micas bro!

I agree handsdown on 2mica the biggest soundstage of all the tubes I've listened to (at least to recent memory don't quote me on it ). Bass while more extended reminded me more of the Siemens CCa bass with it's punchiness. I actually have two terrific pairs of these for sale that I have not yet listened (but they are expensive I'm sorry 200$ a pair, I think they can be found cheaper on ebay if you buy singles but I've bought quite a few and some of them were very crappy hence the price).

My saved searches for the 6922 family lately have hit a couple of tubes that I've been looking for - I've managed to score 4 singles from the Telefunken Fat Getter gold rods, two of which with beautiful U ne 00 date codes (1958) and a single Lorenz PCC88 Triple Mica to pair up with my other Lorenz 3Mica that I';ve had for 2 years now unpaired.
Kind of excited to give these bad boys a listen!

Edit: If anyone's ever interested in learning about Lorenz sound signatures this post http://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1262839820/3#3 by Lord Soth (who is also on head-fi I beleive and used to contribute to the first Lyr Tube Rollers posts) is very good!

The Lorenz triple mica (all grey construction) are one of the few 6922 types I have left that I won't ever sell. They sound more like a good pair of 12at7s to me in terms of soundstage, depth and punch.

I also suggest you try a pair of these -> https://www.ebay.com/itm/312454005981 Tele Fat Getter Gold Rods made from 1956 - 1960, I may be a bit bias but I love these things. I love them so much that since I only have 1 pair (stupid me sold my other spare pair to a head-fier ) I don't listen to it so much to not wear it out haha.

Edit: Also unless I missed something that's the only such tube atm on all of ebay.

Noooooooo.

I'm on a buying ban right now. Still have tubes I haven't listened to yet, and am trying to pare down my collection.

My two major tube regrets...never having heard the Telefunken Cca 6922/E88CC's or any of the Lorenz Stuttgarts.

 

[OldSkool]

@billerb1 Well, we can't have regrets, now can we?

My 2 major regrets were buying and listening to Tesla E88CC and buying a way overpriced pair of Bugle Boys from Tube Museum early on. At least their tubes are real unlike BangyBang...

My biggest regret as well, was purchasing some Telefunken E88CC. Way over rated. . .and priced. At least the version, i have.

I sold my pair, the E188CC is really good but pricey.

My biggest regret was joining this bloody thread. I was so much better off before...

Let me know when you fall off the wagon. My crystal ball states sooner than later.
