I monitored bidding wars on German Tubes Auctions, and noticed < 50 points WINNERS. Don't know if tubes were sent.

Think they will likely be ok in the Lyr 2, my 2 pair of Reflektors work fine in that amp, 1 tube from each set is noisy in my dac. A shame the 75`s sound great in the dac though 1 tube is noisy.

I think the photos and tubes of the tele e188cc are the same as the previous auction from the other day.
Surprisingly thia seller never got back to me with codes on these tubes.
Im huntibg down those special blue labelles tele cca with a bugle boy on the back that were made in the usa. Im willing to pay up to $2000 for a good pair. I wonder if i'll now see some on ebay in 2 weeks

I'd forgotten about that seller. Nice to see shipping has gone up
Looking at his limited selection, these three caught my eye, for all the wrong reasons:

Wonky cuz...
Tested with my calibrated
Neuberger RPM375
23/14mA
25/17mA
new start @ 15mA
...assuming those are the two triodes on each tube. Perhaps those numbers represent something else.

clearly a Brit tube, and part of the Philips family, IIRC. I've only seen that printing on the Dutch tubes. Maybe "wonky" is harsh, as there's no obvious false advertising (e.g., Made In Holland).

if those aren't Russian tubes, my name's Rangy. They remind me of those crazy CEi (US co.) 6922s I got that are definitely from CCCP, and say they were made in West Germany.
Any thoughts on any of the above, anyone?
I went tube-less in Serbia, mostly cuz I was having too much fun. I encourage everyone to go out and buy a bottle of rakija, preferably the plum variety (šljivovica)
Živeli!

ThurstonX,
I was looking at the Swiss Tubes offerings. Thank you for your identification, on the Philips E88CC, and Telefunken E188CC listings

Hmmm, more questions than ID'ing, but I figured those were worth mentioning. I'm curious to read some replies. Usually pays to be patient when playing this game.

I couldn't resist at that price. Didn't have a pair. Got 'em today, listening now for a couple hours. So far so good. They rank favorably compared to the iFi NOS 6922s I'd run since before my 3-week trip and a few days since we got back. Those were nicely burned in, and tempt me to try some cheap adapters and other tubes in that shorty family.
Thanks for sharing the link to the deal

Lite Dac 68, it uses 2 6dj8 variaty, as to that seller's auctions, there's a possibility that those CCa tubes are E88CC. Both would have the same etched or metal plate change code. You never see years and change codes in the pics. Just a picture of the front of the tube. His tubes seem to go quite cheap compared to other sellers. Don't know about the Telefunken CCa but the Siemens CCa wording is jumbled together, and if you look at other CCa tubes from different sources they have spacing in between the letterings. Might be a fake CCa reprint of an E88CC. Don't know for sure either way.
