Which amp do you have? If its a Lyr 2 or another amp with a low gain. I suggest buying this matched pair. Fantastic tubes, fantastic seller in the same country you are in. You won`t find a better sub $100 pair of tubes. Seller has 3 different listings of 6CC41. He does accept returns 30 days. He`ll even PM you in messages confirming your address and thanking you for your purchase. Post here if you are interested in buying first.

Thanks. Yeah it's tubes for a Lyr 2 that I am looking for. He has a note on this listing "...alternatives to ECC83 tubes (but are not a drop in replacement due to 6.3V heaters and thus a different pin arrangement)"

Are these correct for the Lyr 2 and will they work without an adapter? The manual I have says E88CC, rather than ECC83 ...

Clueless I remain,

Absolutely will work on low gain no problem with a Lyr 2. I have a Lyr 2 as well. These tubes work in my Lyr 2 MJ2, and my DAC. They won't even run in my LP due to the high multiplication of 100 I think. 6CC41 is basically a 6.3v only ECC83 but with the pinout of 6DJ8. Thus no adapter needed.

What about high gain?

High multiplication factor and high gain setting give you no maneuvering room on the volume control. Low gain gives you plenty of wiggle room on the dial.

I know you well enough, bud. Lucky for me I'm smart enough to put down my beer when I read the posts on this thread. I would have blown it out the nose on that last one

I agree some of the posters here would try to take advantage of new tube rollers having a laugh at their expense.

Reflektor 6N3P 3x mica 50's matched pairs. Real deal and cheap. Bought 2 pair from this seller. Well over NOS testing.

I would hope not. Cracking jokes is fine but wasting somebody's money is not. Did that ever actually happen? I mean the whole point of this thread is supposed to be helping people, right?

Got a confirmation from Cpt. Luke already. But he promised to send them airmail. I am pretty sure that is going to take weeks to go the 10km between us...

I don't believe so. Those Reflektor 6N3P 3x mica I linked is real good as well. You just need 1 pair of socket savers and a pair of 6N3P to ECC88 tube adapters. The socket savers and adapters open up the opportunity of the Reflektor 6N3P, WE 396A and all other 2C51, 5670, 396A tubes.

Thanks. Cpt. Luke pointed out that the tube was not listed in the Lyr 2 manual, so I pointed him to this discussion.

I prefer to run without adapters. Thanks for the help!
