Which tubes are a little less bright than the Telefunken E88CC for the HE-560, but not as smooth as the Gustard H10 amplifier. Maybe the 74/75 Reflektor's?
 
I have three teles for trade for the Reflektors if anyone is interested. Please PM. See:

Does anyone else think these tubes , are fakes? Look closely. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=311545129491&alt=web

Same seller , but these tubes actually have codes on them. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281950799109&alt=web

I do not think they are fake, I think they are eastern European made, maybe Tesla, read somewhere else on ebay about these tubes iirc.

Here is where I read about them. No gold pins and no codes, your link is technically right I guess, a little deceiving about the origin, the seller in my link is a little more honest.

I've not seen those construction details before, from internals to the pins. Typical E88CC anode design but small details are different, mica plates, flat getter shield, small code plate tacked to the anode shield edge. Compared to the Dutch and German that is.
 
Here's another pair that looks the same. This seller is suggesting they are "probably made in Eastern Europe (Tesla?)."

Guidostrunk,
 
Those vacuum tubes are Valvo labeled Tungsram E88CC, from Hungary. You can tell by the small metal tag, similar to Siemens. I bought a pair last year.

2 pair E188CC Philips Miniwatt Heerlen $149.95 OBO, 1973?

2 pair E188CC Philips Miniwatt Heerlen $149.95 OBO, 1973?

First pair would appear to be 62/63. Can't read the codes on the second pair.

Some of you guys have some wisdom to bestow here. Guidostrunk, Billerb, ThurstonX, Mikoss, Oskar ...I've given my recs but suggested Ken post here.

 

[Guidostrunk]

From my experience. Teles, and Amperex US made,seemed the brightest of the bunch.
Out of the reflektors. Definitely go with the 75(HG's).
My personal recommendation would be, of course, Valvo or Philips Heerlen E188CC. Glorious midrange, with comparable Soundstage of the teles. The Heerlen tubes are more holographic as well imo.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers.

Actually +1 on Guidostrunk's take.

What, waiting for the mailman, no headphones on or tv on and no doorbell ring and I get a "sorry we missed you" pink card from the USPS. Now gotta wait till Monday for my Mullard E188CC`s from Germany. Put back in my Amperex 6922 1960 D Getters yesterday for some more extended burn in.

A pair of Yugoslavia PCC88 A-Frame vacuum tubes arrived today. Sound great with 3hr burn-in time. Will only get better with more burn in. www.ebay.com/itm/322078888735?_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. A good deal at $24.99. I bet a pair of Harleen Pinched Waist D-getters would have a hard time in competition with these!
