hahaha, you know me well

Was on a spending freeze similar to you and this happened. 2 pair Mullard 6201, 2 pair Mullard ECC82. Plus that dinky amp half size of a MJ2. Good luck!

That’s quite the adapter/saver stack you have going on

The socket holes are considerably smaller than Schiit amps. Leaving it like that at least for now. Making use of that pair of savers I had to fight for to get a replacement pair.

Mullard Ecc82? Tell me more tell me more ooh how do they sound? Feel free to compare them to the ECC81 / E88CC

Kinda hard since they are in my new amp and both are still burning in, in addition I got a pair of Heerlen D-getter 6922 in my dac currently. If you can find a $75 pair or so I would give them a shot. They are Blackburn`s. You should really try the 6201 Mullard Mitcham gold pins bro, they are sweet like the PW Hamburg 6201 but with signature Mullard warmth. $110 for platinum matched pair at upscale audio. Gold is cheaper. Earliest I have are 64`s, small halo getter.

These tubes -> https://www.ebay.com/itm/254113091410?ul_noapp=true

out of all the tubes I've ever tried to collect are the most elusive for me due to the fact that I've never seen them with a decent price.

I even have Siemens E88CC D-Getters which are also rare as **** and I got them for a much better price but nope these freaking Heerlen E188CC have to be sooooo rare and expensive

Edit: Oh wait these are the USA made ones which are even more rare lol

Damn, I have been saving up for that pair. I hope nobody buys them now.

Also if you like to gamble on 0 measurements

This is true. I dont buy, without test results, but for that price, could be worth a gamble, for those with testers. Ebay buyer gaurantee is a good thing.

I actually never cared to try any of the USA made E188CCs or E88CCs. Could have been a mistake.
From the E188CCs I have a trio of E188CC Dario Miniwatt Yellow Print O-Getters made in 1961/1962 and they sound exactly like the Philips E88CC 7L4 Tall Glass Bottle Curved D-Getter from 1959 that some people love on here.

Lol naming these tubes sounds like a game of thrones character

I suggest buying these ASAP. These suckers are the rarest of the rare. I would find out if anybody knows the SS on these as they will probably sound different to the later O getter USA.
